I was kind of curious about her coloring, I have seen some yorkie babies darker like this. What does that mean? Are they going to be darker or have more dark streaks in their coloring or on the top of the head? I have seen adult yorkies with more blk like stripes on their face and topknot area. Just wondering? I think it is beautiful. |
To be very honest with you, I have no idea. She is the fifth pup we've had with such dark coloring. Her sisters were more normal yorkie color at birth, with some tans and gold with the black. But not Star, she was so dark and very easy to spot among the other girls. All the other girls heads are starting to turn white and silver. But Star is still very dark. I have no idea if she will lighten up. We had 4 born last November, all four still very dark, very little change to their head color. Mom is very tan and black and dad is almost white silver all over. Most of his offspring have developed the white or very blond head with sliver blue backs. But not these ones. They are almost coal black. Star is from Reggie/Gizmo. She is also tan/black. I wish I could give you an answer. Maybe they are freaks of nature, only very pretty ones.
As you can see, Leo now Dante), Cosmos (now Guiseppe), Neptune (now Dinky) and Venus (now Paris) are all very dark. Pictures of them at 16 weeks old. Star is darker than any of them were.
