Yes, now that I see Mack as a baby... he does look like mine. I only saw Macs slightly older pics, and noticed right away that he had a dark nose.
I've been going crazy researching, and reading all day. I would love to chat further, and can call you when ever is good for you. The first thing I found, was probably the first for you too?
Some AKC breeder stating all of these wrong colored pups should be put down asap. :eek:
Poppy cock... is what I say to that! He's perfectly healthy, and doing just fine. Why would anyone intentionally kill a perfectly healthy puppy? Because he's the wrong color, or unique, or is it jealousy maybe? That's just cruel & nasty thinking IMO. She's probably never had one, so doesn't want anyone else to either. Just because he's no good for the ring, or shouldn't be used for breeding... he's still a live breathing being, and deserves a chance. I'm pretty sure she has a few flaws of her own (one being a very obvious personality flaw) ...but no one had her put to sleep for it. Yeash! :rolleyes:
I understand AKC show breeders wanting only perfect show dogs, that fit the standard. However not everyone shows their dogs. I don't, and don't care if my dogs are perfect to them or not. They are perfect in my eyes, and that's all that matters.
These standards are meant for the show ring, not for your average pets... which is what he will be, providing he makes it of course.

That belief is very in-correct, albeit a common one. Breed standards are for all breeders who wish to breed correctly in order to a)maintain the health of the breed b) maintain the temperament and working abilities of the breed c) and an overall breeders guideline in what to look for in your breeding animals.

Here is a picture of Tony my blue born Yorkie
He has had absolutely NO health issues. He is living a great and healthy life.
All except for the hair on the tail, his hair has grown out beautiful!
The hair on his ears also does not grow long so I never have to trim the hair off his ears.

I think blue borns have always been born but breeders used to put them down and not talk about them because of the shame that they put down an innocent animal and because they did not want people to know that a blue born yorkie was born in their breeding programs but now with the sophistication of the internet we are becoming more aware of them and are able to see for ourselves that they are not all born deformed or ill just because of their color, they make beautiful pets!

Hi everyone. As you can tell i'm new here and I came upon this site cause as you can tell I had a grey Yorkie pop out. I was curious as to why this happened. So I started searching the internet. I had a litter of 5 and 1 was blue. I read that they can have problems and no problems. This was the first and last time i breed this male with my female. I guess they both have the gene that makes these babies and I don't want to be breeding babies that could have difficulties later in life. I would rather give the babies a fair chance in life instead of starting of with possible problems. Since these puppies can have problems I find myself in a situation I really don't want to be in. I'm thinking of keeping the puppy even though I don't want to cause I already have 4 dogs 1 more wont hurt but at the same time I really don't want another one. The reason why I want to keep it is cause I really don't want the dog to go to someone that wont care for it cause it has needs or can't afford the medical cost if it does end up having special needs. At least if I keep it I know it will be fixed and have the medical attention it needs. I have read on here that lots of people have had these types with no problems at all. I wish I could now if she was gonna be like that so I could find her a real nice home. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to find her a great home?
