Just a question about coloring and pregnancy. Hi there! This is just a question that popped into my head and it's gonna bother me now so I thought I'd ask it here and get some answers. :) Mahina's (my pup) Mommy is almost a light golden color with a light silver back. She said before she started breeding her she was that lighter steel blue and tan color. The breeder told me that when she breeds Rozzy (this was her second or third litter) her color lightens dramatically. From the beginning of the pregnancy till a couple of weeks after Rozzy is done feeding. I even saw the difference because I went to pick Mahina up and then a few weeks later we went back to visit and she was even lighter!! The silver was almost gone! So I'm just wondering if this is just a hormonal thing or will Mahina possibly continue to get lighter as she gets older. (Rozzy is about 3 or 4 years old). I don't plan on breeding Mahina she'll be spayed in a couple of months. Although of course I'm not sure what color she's going to be, I guess that's the exciting part of owning a Yorkie! :D Thank you ahead of time for answers. |
It is not uncommon for a females hormones to cause some changes in their coat after they have been bred. Generally with the gold, if I'm not mistaken. |
Tayla was a nice blue before breeding. She was cut down before delivery and is now slmost white. Her pups are now 9 weeks old and you can see dark blue roots coming in. Hormones definitely affect the coat in color and texture. Yorkies usually lighten with age as well. |
Hmm I find this whole thing interesting. Yorkies as a whole are interesting with the way they change color throughtout there lives anyway. :) Thank you for your responses. :D |
My Lucy is very light and silver when not expecting however during pregnancy she turns a dark steel blue. Very strange like the horse of another color in the wizard of oz :D |
