i would love to have a blue or chocolate yorkie because i think they are beautiful i like different personally BUT i would not ever breed one with a colour differance or pay more for one because of it. i hope they will be ok and get the chance to grow fat old and happy!

thanks chachi, well i immediately called up my breeder to ask him more bout blue puppy... so he told me tht my baby is turning to dark steel blue colour not born as a blue puppy.... huh.. what a relieve... was so worried after reading the forum thou.... luckily everything it's cleared on the air, thanks chachi for the info

:eek: :eek: :thumbdown You've got to be kidding me! You are proving to be an incredibly irresponsible pet owner! YOU have to make sure this DOESN'T happen!! You can NOT sit back with a laissez faire attitude! Especially considering the circumstances here of a genetic defect!! GET IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!:mad:

Your welcome. Yes the steel blue is normal and desired color. I am glad your pup isnt a blue pup. I bet you are releved

"if it happens it happens"

seriously? i hope you really don't think that and just let whatever happen! that's like you doing the same thing with humans, it can be prevented!!!! it's relatively inexpensive to spay/neuter which should absolutely be done if you don't know about them .poor dogs! just because puppies are cute doesn't guarentee they will all get homes!

They need to be spayed or do not breed them together again or take her to another male to breed if you do want pups.
You are lucky that you have not had any problems with them.I have had 2 blues and NEVER want to see that in my whelping box again.(dont want to see any color but black no reds no choc no blues)The worry I went through and still do wondering how they are going to be when older.(health problems etc)
I would not take the risk again you have been lucky so far but luck seems to run out.What would you do if there was major health problems with them??
I am very protective over my blue babies I have had.I call them misfits , I love them just as much as my standard colored yorkies .They are no different than the others just the wrong color.Not their fault but ours for breeding them.They did not get to pick their mate we did so we are responsible for them.
I keep in touch with my blue babies parents and keep updated on their condition.And I thank god that mine are okay and have turned to black now,but not all do and the more you breed them together your chances of getting a ill blue pup increases.

blueborn yorkies
 

There are alot of NEGATIVE things people will tell you about blue born yorkie. The truth is noone really know for SURE what will happen as they gorw up. There is NO for sure answer. I asked my vet as I have 2 that were born in a litter of mine. I was going to have them put down. But MY vet said NOT to. As there is NOT any REAL research thats been done. JUST a few people that voice the opinions of what they have ready by ONE vet. NO FIRST hand research has ever been done one blueborns or CHOC. So I would be honest with the new owners. NOT breed them at this time. As nOT enough is known. BUT I would NOT put them down. Thats NOT fair to the puppies. AS GOD willing they could live a long and happy life. So dont let other people that are only GUESSING! Tell you what to do. Follow your heart ! Annette

Blue Puppies
 

This is our little Sophie. She is eight months and the breeder said she was a blue puppy. Does this look okay to you? I tried to get in touch with the breeder to show her the pictues of our 8 month old Sophie but her email address and phone number are no longer in service. What do you think???

blue baby
 

Hi there.
It looks Ok to me...
I can only say to you that I had 2 blue ones and the only thing wrong till now is the spare grey hair, nothing more. They are very healthy. Good luck Sophie!

Hey how are you? You have not been on in a long time..

is there some confusion regarding blue puppies?
wondering if they are just the steel blue grey color.
blue borns that die or lose their hair should not be breeding.. the parents should not be bred again..
how can you tell?

"Blue Born" are born off in color, where "blue" colored yorkies are born the typical black and tan color, and lighten as they age. :)

blue yorkies
 

I have had a blue yorkie pup born once, they are a blue/gray color at birth they do have tan on them but even their nose is grey in color when their eyes pen they will be green or blue too I have pics i have to downsize first before I can put them up. Ihave seen a full growm 3 yr old one too they will bow the blue coat but the tan will stay this is because the genne that tails their coat to change colors is not there, so the blue falls out but they stil have like peach fuzz where they are blue, they can live normal lives so no do not put them down. I will post some pic of the pup I had at 6weeks of age. I just gave him away to a good home. And the female I had fixed and gave her away to a good home as well. I think you could charge a some fee to cover the costs of the puppies, I will say this when I advertied the pup I got alot of emails thats for sure, They are a conversation piece, thanks Denise

you are a responsible breeder.. happy endings too..:)

ok now I am really confused, Maggie's papers says she is Blue and Gold. Does that mean she is a blue yorkie !!

No!! That is referring to the gray coloring in contrast to the gold.

ohhh :o Thank You so much, I was worried. I love my Maggie anyways.

thank you I do try very hard to better my line for the sake of the yorkshire terrier, I do hope to be in the show ring with one of my babies one day, that is my goal and my dream, I just hope I helped out some. Just because I have ben there and did not know what to do with the pup at first, but my vet said something important to me all life that is born in this world desrives the chance to live and that I do believe. I have also recuesd several dogs from puppy mills and know how badly thay ar treated and on my website I have lots of imfo for people to learn about how bad thay are, maybe some day we can get rid of those places, I have 3 that are not on my site but thay are not able to go to new homes so thay will live out thier life here with me. education is the best tool for us right now! And in breeding mistakes can happen but you don't repeat them. Thank you blessing Denise&the majesticyorkies

find it...
 

to add you can read all bout the blue/choc yorkies by going to ask.com and put in blue/chocyorkies all the imfo is their it will explain the gene defect all. good luck to you and your friend.

They are fine
 

Greetings to you all.
Just to say pups are all very well, gave them neutured to good homes and neutered the mother. Father is not my property but stopped breeding.
this is one of them now adult. He is healthy.
Bye

This is one of the most interesting threads i have followed here on YT for a few years.

Thanks so much for this last picture of the blue boy !!!

I am glad he is doing good !

Blue Yorkie
 

I have two females from two different litters, both are doing great, they are fat and healthy as they can be. However, when they were born I didnt have a clue what they were....Both have a velvety feel, where the blue is as well as a blue nose.

I am Glad you figured out how to post and how the thread works.

I hope you like the site. It has some very good information and most people here love the breed and have a lot of good advice. If you find something that it is not great... well... just overlook as nothing in this world is perfect.
But as i mentioned, the majority of people here are just great !
XOXO

Welcome to yt, Is If the father is the same to both litters I would get him fixed, it sounds like he is the carrier of the gene, Good luck with your babies, I hope you find wonderful homes for all of them, Welcome again to yt thier are some really good people here, hope you make some great friends I do love yorkies /blue /choc/ black etc they are a wonderful breed. Blessings Denise

blue yorkies are made of recessive genes from both parents!
 

Hello, excuse me for correcting the information but, as far as I know, it takes both carrying parents to produce blue pups so, people who have had blue ones are producing a disservice to the race and to the out coming owners to repeat those crossings again or insist in use any of those progenitors in to breeding.

Please don't be offended, I just think that submit a bitch to the risk of a pregnancy is only justified whit the purpose of obtaining better quality, not the opposite, witch in my view is almost criminal when you are in possession of the information above.
Breeding is a big step to take and should not be done naively.

no offence taken however I have researched this myself, and nowhere have I read anything like that. It only takes one perant to carry the gene defect, not both, however if you know of this research posted anywhere on the net I would love to read it, I am always open to learning something new. I would like to know where this is at so I can read it. thank you for your input just the same, but again I would need to read this myself. And I do agree people should breed to better the breed, when I did breed I did it for that reason. However I did have a female that had a blue pup, and she was fixed and placed in a pet home, I found out later she had a litter from the person who had her before me and she had a blue pup then as well 2 different fathers but same Mom. Neihter father has thrown a blue pup sence, so I don't agree. I no longger breed but the offsring and half brothers of the father I used are still breeding no blue pups at all, the father I have has 4 half bothers breeding with other breeders and in 8 yrs no blue pups, so forgive me if I disagree with your post. hope I have not offended you as well, just speacking from experiance, blessings Denise

I have read each post, and this was very interesting to read..I want to keep watching this also..anne

- DPCA Breeders Education

Both parents have to carry the Blue gene trust me on this I have been breeding for 18 years.

I hope this link helps I hate it when people who have never had a blue pup or seen one always has something negative to say. All Blues are not the same. It does not matter if it is a Blue Doberman or a Blue Yorkie some may have problems and some may not.
