My 13 week old puppy's black body hair is changing colors at the roots. It is not light silver like on her head. It's very dark grey (I guess that's how I would describe it) with a few white hairs thrown in there. If they are going to be the appropriate blue color, does that start to come out already at this age? And would somebody post pictures of what steel blue really looks like. I am very confused of what blue is. Is is dark? When I look at the pictures in my yorkie books of the show yorkies, the light shines off their coat and it looks grey in a way. I just don't understand what the blue looks like. Both of my puppies parents were very dark and shiny on the body, I would describe it as almost black but maybe that's what blue looks like?? I had somebody tell me the other day that their yorkie was the most beautiful blue, but when I saw him in person he looks like a very light silver. I think a lot of people are confused about the color. I read the article about color by Joan Gordon, I'm still confused. I would like to be enlightened from some of you experienced owners...
