She is a very unusual color for a Yorkie. I would say that she is either "wolf sable" (ay/ay) or recessive black (a/a). Either way, she is unique and highly unusual. A very special and beautiful dog indeed! See the following website for a description of different coat colors caused by the "a" (agouti) locus. Black and tan Yorkies are at/at. (Silver and blue colors are caused by other genes that alter the black pigment.)

Genomia: Locus A
