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! |
I am not a breeder therfore, I can't help you there but, without seeing pics it's hard to tell.
IMO..4 litters in 5 yrs is A LOT of breeding...Usually a breeder will skip heats before breeding again. Is she a reputable breeder?...Did you check her out first? Maybe you could talk to some of the others that bought puppies from her. If she is using the same pair to produce puppies this will give you an idea on what the colors would be.
