An isabella dog will have the genotype bbdd (homozygous for liver, homozygous for dilution)."
I have never seen this color on AKC papers for a Yorkie.....you may have an interesting time trying to get this yorkie registered.....but then I have never had a lilac colored Yorkie! | It couldn't be a "blue born" could it?
