Hey everyone! I would love some input from anyone that has experience with chocolate yorkies or has one. I am wondering if chocolate yorkies typically lighten as they age. There is a chocolate yorkie I am interested in buying, but I am uncertain whether he will keep his chocolate coloring or if it will lighten (almost blonde) or over time. His dad is a chocolate yorkie, and though he has a brown nose his coat has become blonde, so I am curious to know if this will happen with the pup I am interested in. I adore the chocolate, and this little guy is 16 weeks with out a home yet. Any input is appreciated!
Hershey is the pup, Kash is his dad (also a chocolate). Just curious really if its typical for them to lighten or is there a chance he could keep the chocolate color.
