Do you know what type of texture his coat is, silk, modified silk or cotton/soft? If does not sound like silk, but more like modified silk or cotton/soft coat.. Normally they say if a yorkie puppy is going to be silk coated you will see their coat start to breakout around 9-12 weeks of age.. Which I have personally noticed with my silk coated puppies.. If they are modified silk or soft/cotton coat it can sometimes take up to two years to completely clear, which means the blue/gold color.. I have also noticed the modified coat will clear before a soft/cotton coat will.. Sometimes a soft/cotton coat will not clear completely and that will give the dog a sooty look on the head or face or both.. Sometimes they will also have what is referred to as a thumbprint on the top of their head.. Also on the modified silk the blue on the back will be a dark blue and on a soft/cotton coat the back is usually black..
