This bitch does not put me off, color-wise. She may have lightened due to hormonal changes..very common. If I get a bitch too light, I breed her to a deep steel blue, as ideal as possible, which should with every breeding IMO.

I would pick a Yorkie that has gone too light ,as to one that is black..in a black, the color gene has not diluted at all..hard to change. I think it is easier to bring in proper color and darken a line as opposed to ridding it of soft/cotton, black coats.
I like to use the terms, gold, tan, tri-color gold, shaded gold..instead of designer colors cream, rust, beige...no offense.
