:thumbup: I know my views are the minority, but I find it appalling that we can spend hours debating the correct COLOR of a Yorkie....while thousands upon thousands of children are being SOLD as sex slaves, millions of people are starving, and a host of other truly horrible and disgusting things. Imagine if all these YT debate hours were spent doing something in our communities! Can you look into the face of an abused child in your community and apologize for not doing anything because you were spending time educating people on the importance of a Yorkie not having white hair? I can't.

I understand what you are saying, but this is a Yorkshire Terrier forum so we are of course going to be discussing yorkies and not children...

LOL Of course. I still find it appalling that so much energy is put into it. Some things are diversionary and relaxing to discuss, a great way to recharge yourself. Some things, like serious health problems, are necessarily discussed at length and these discussions often prove to be productive. Other things aren't and don't.

Naturally, this is just my opinion. :) And so that I will be standing behind it, I won't be posting again to this thread. I'm not offended at all, or upset, or feel that anything rude was said. I just think it would be hypocritical for me to continue on this thread. :p

Do not be fooled into buying one of these dogs.
Now that Designer Dogs are the rage, the “new” Parti-Color Yorkie is certain to draw attention. While we have had problems in the past with “rare gold” Yorkshire Terriers being advertised, the parti-color is a new one! While some breeds have an occasional mismark and some breeds do have a gene for a white dog, we do not. Had there been a problem with white markings, piebald dogs, or white dogs, it would have been addressed in our Standard. Due to unscrupulous breeders advertising parti-colored Yorkshire Terriers at premium prices, our members voted unanimously at our annual meeting to add a disqualification for these and other off colored dogs.

The Yorkshire Terrier is a tan dog with a blue saddle. The “rare gold” Yorkie is actually a dog that appears as such due to an improper saddle pattern. Show breeders have seen this and commonly call it running gold. When the dog is cut down, you can see that the blue saddle does not come down far enough. The Yorkshire Terrier blue saddle extends lower than some of the other black and tan terriers extending to the elbow and also to the hock on the rear leg. Gold hairs can occur in the blue and black or blue hairs can appear in the gold. These faults are addressed in the Yorkshire Terrier Standard. These dogs have serious faults and they too should not be sold as "rare" but placed in loving homes as they are very incorrect. Yorkies do not have white markings…never have. A small white strip is sometimes seen on the chest of newborns but this always turns to tan within a few weeks. The AKC registration form for Yorkshire Terriers allows for four choices: blue and tan, blue and gold, black and tan, black and gold. There is no provision for markings.

A brief history of the development of the Yorkshire Terrier will show that the dog was developed in the 1800’s. In England, the Waterside Terrier was often crossed with the old English terrier, a silky coated black and tan or blue and tan terrier weighing around five pounds. When crafters from Scotland came into England, they brought several “Scotch“terriers, among them the Paisley and the Clydesdale. The Paisley was a small silky coated dog in various shades of blue. The Clydesdale was a blue and tan dog with the exact color pattern as the Yorkie of today. All of these original breeds were grizzle, tan, blue, blue and tan, or black and tan. No white dog or dogs with white markings were involved in the process of developing the breed. The first Yorkshire Terriers were entered at shows as Broken Haired Scotch and Yorkshire Terriers. In the early days, dog classes were often divided by size, under five pounds and over five pounds; however, there was never a class for colors other than the blue and tan we see today. The color pattern and coat texture has bred true and has been dominate enough that the Silky Terrier evolved by crossing the Yorkshire Terrier and the Australian Terrier with basically the same coat of the of the Yorkie."

I've often thought the same thing. I've seen alot of larger ones (no our eyes aren't playing tricks on us). I've seen few (in comparison) look like 5-7 pounds, but there are some.
