Also, these two pups are completely black in color with one white hind paw. My fiance's mother's uncle (who has bred yorkies for years) said this is the first time he has seen solid black with no reddish markings. My question is, will they get the reddish markings or will they stay black? Is this normal or rare? Thanks for all the help in advance.

I'm by no means an expert but,I wouldn't be too concerned. It can take up to 18 - 24 months for them to get their adult colors. I have a yorkie that has blonde on his legs and head and he is almost 14 months old. But, he did have the reddish tan markings on his head and legs at this age.

Good Luck and keep us posted on which you decide to get.
