I've searched online and tried YTCA but they seem to only have e-mails and not web sites which seems like it'd take forever. If anyone knows any good breeders that have gold or blonde yorkies it'd be great to hear from you.
Thanks in advance!
Do you mean you want a solid gold Yorkie or that you want one that is Gold and Black as the standard for yorkie is written? You mentioned searching on YTCA and that leads me to believe maybe you are looking for the Gold and Black (actually the standard is blue -- a bluish black gunmetal color). Solid Gold yorkies are a genetic mutation, a fault, and not considered breedable. Some do still breed them out of standard, trying for the "so called rare" color to charge more. Don't fall for that -- you should not pay more for a dog that does not meet the Yorkie standard, it's a fault and can't be shown and should not be bred. So, IMO it should sell for much less.

If you want a Yorkie, why not go for one that is a good representative of the breed? There are some good Yorkie breeders here on YT -- as someone already mentioned, they may not all be great. So, check them out, get references. Word of mouth references can tell you quite a lot. You can ask on here bout any breeder and those who know them or have had experience with them are usually glad to pass on info.

Good luck in your search!
