In fact, it appears as if the amount of grey in his face decreases as he got older. He has a small amount of grey on his thigh area but its only noticeable when he is cut short. So, is this normal for a yorkie!?

Here is Diallo at 10 months and at 5 years old.

Thank you.

Aw, he is adorable!!

Yes that is normal for some yorkies. Not all turn silver or blue as they call it. Technically there are four basic colors. Blue and tan, Blue and gold, Black and Tan and Black and Gold. Of course there are chocolates, goldens and partis as well but those main four are what you see when you register them. The standard calls for the blue and gold.

I have a girl right now that is a year old that is still black and gold and I am waiting to see if she changes color. I hope she stays that way though because I love the black and gold.

Her is a picture of my girl at 6 months old. At over a year old her back is still black as can be but the grey on her head is pretty much gone as it all turned gold. Her daddy was black and gold so there is a good chance she will stay this way.
