(can't remember, it could have been a mix) So has there ever been a yorkie that is all dark before? Or would the dark ones be considered "chocolate" or liver colored yorkies. Sorry if that's a dumb question, I was just wondering.
Good question! Although I have seen some where the tan part is very dark (out of standard) I have not seen one with all black or steel blue. A true chocolate still has tan, they just have a dark brown where a yorkie is supposed to be black/blue. They also usually have liver colored nose instead of black. I have seen the all gold/tan yorkies. I would be interested in reading the genetics of why we don't see the all black as an occasional fault. Maybe some of the experienced breeders have seen one. I'll watch for more answers.
