Thank you all for your welcome and kind replies. Being somewhat new to the breed, I never knew about the changing of colors. My knowledge of Yorkies essentially came from Chloe, our rescue who passed at 16 yrs old. She had a top weight of 7 lbs and was the typical black (blue) and tan. Liam on the other hand is over 9 lbs at 8 months old and has turned silver-ish and faded tan on legs and mussel. I've been told the traits can go back as far as ten generations. He is registered and I know his mom was a Parti. His size has me baffled a bit. |
