we're looking at a puppy...I had the owner email me a pic of the mother...she looks awfully gold all over....very light & a lot of gold on her back...I can still see her back saddle...but again it's more gold, than blue...my question is: is this normal, or a mother whose puppies I should walk away from?

But, I also read yorkies often get lighter after being bred. This is this mother's 4th litter & she is about 5 yrs old.

The puppies are black/tan & their markings look fine/normal.

I tried to attach a pic...but the file is too large.

thank you for your responses...we are novices at yorkies...have been wanting for a couple years, but this would be our first....I'm hoping y'all can help!
