The Ladies are right, there are many opinions about fur types and colors. Depending on the authority you choose. In the early days there was no purebred Yorkie. Humans decided what was desirable. They mated dogs so that they produced the same type of dog every time. That same type of dog generation after generation, is called a standard. Personally I try to breed my dogs to achieve the AKC standard. I do know mutations can happen, recessive genes can pop up, causing a deviation from the standard. I completely agree that these puppies should not be sold as rare, exotic etc. They are not the desired standard. Perfect health should always be the most important thing a buyer should look for. God Bless and I hope you find the perfect baby.
