Attached is another blue born yorkie adult. As you can see, the blue coat on blue borns, don't grow the way the black/tan born yorkies coats grow. On the blue born, the tan coloring grows normally but in many, the blue coloring doesn't. Initially the coat may start out growing normally but often times between 6 mos. - 3 years, the blue coat becomes sparse and skin problems develop.

Good luck with your pup, please keep us posted on how she's doing.

Awwwwww.... They are ADORABLE!!!!!!!! :)

Born Blue puppy
 

Several years ago I had 1 puppy born blue---a true Great Dane color Blue--or I've seen Chihuahuas born this color---which is fine for Danes or Chihuahuas--- I was told there would be problems but my normal me said to my self--"They are wrong" I'm saving this puppy and placing it in a nice home ! We did fine for some weeks and I was getting more and more sure everyone was wrong ! One morning at about 6 or 7 weeks old the pup had a tiny spot of scale on top of the head--I thought no problem--put a little ointment on top of the scab--the next day the whole top of the head was a big scab--which spread all over the body--the skin was thick-puffy--scales all over the hair was lost over all the back -head--tail--nothing but the tan--gold hair remained--He sickened and finally out of mercy I had im put down---this was a horrible situation. The other pups were fine--healthy as horses ! My decision was place the sire and Dam as pets--and all the pups were placed as pets only (back before limited registration) In no way would I ever breed that pair again ! That little puppy was sooooo sick. It wasn't just no hair---he was sick--totally getting down with no life to get up and eat !! It was something I don't want to do EVER AGAIN !!

blue chihuahua
 

I can only speak for blue chihuahuas. It is wrong that blue colour is fine for chihuahuas. Blue chihuahuas are often naked, the fur often falls out when they are grow. The skin is different from normal coloured chihuahuas. No reputable breeder wants blues in his chihuahuas.
I don´t know if it is the same in great danes.

NO NO it's ok to have Danes in Blue--I'm just saying the color is a grayish blue color--and I've seen perfectly nice blue Chihuahua's as well but born blue Yorkies is another story---it usually does NOT TURN OUT WELL !!

~Blue Born Puppy~
 

We just had 3 beautiful healthy little puppies~but one is blue. I have been reading everything I can possibly read about them~sadly there is no guarantee that he'll be ok. I am not going to sell him~and am definitely not putting him down. I read in a couple of sites where the breeders said to put them down before you get too attached 'cause they are only going to have health/skin problems and 'cause greater heartache later when it has to be put down. I just can't do it!! & feel I will let nature take it's course with this little guy~unless I can see he is in great pain and suffering from his condition. I just didn't find much out there about what happens to these little guys as adults~just a lot of mixed 'opinions' but not a lot of pics or progress reports!! I trying to follow the story on here about 'Mac'~and so far he is doing great~which gives me hope!!:) I will post some pics of our 'little blue' and try to give updates as well. Here he is just a couple of hours old.

Definitely dont put down some have health problems but some only have mild skin and hair problems. We have had blue born adults on this forum that didnt have any health problems and they were like 2 so it seems they should have shown up by then

My vet told me that because my Chi has blue in her bloodline that she could have skin problems & allergic problems. So far so good but she has always chewed her foot. not to where she has a sore on it but does chew on it. She is 2 now. Praying she will be ok as she gets older.

Again!!! Don't give up! My "blue" baby Mack is a true testimony that not all blue borns turn out bad!!! He is the best baby/animal/pet I have ever known!!!

hi sorry i just read this post im have a chocolate yorkie and she is 15 weeks olds she loosing her hair on her ears and back and now she look blue i think she is a blue yorkie if you coul help me with my concerns plz thanks

Hi and welcome. This is an old thread.Please start a new thread.

Hi, first you must have sure your dog is a real Chocolate and, yes, I think they loose hair like the blues do but, that doensn't mean he is going to be a sick dog in future, just a sparse hair doglike so many others.

Blue born Yorkie
 

Yes about 2 years ago my friend had a Blue born Yorkie . It died at the age of 9 mths old. They took it to the vets office for a check up. Five days later he was dead. He was fine when they took him to the vets office. They still don"t know what happened to him. They say it was because he was a blue born. They never bred there Yorkies again. They got both parents to this puppy fixed. So some blue born have problems and some don"t I believe. They were just unlucky and the puppy was too. So sad.:animal-pa:animal-pa

I haven't heard before that chocolates lose hair like the blues. Most I have seen seem to have tons of hair.

hi i read thir post probably you cold help me my baby girl look like yours plz contact me

Since this is such an old thread, you should probably pm whispersmom2 directly.

Again, I do not believe your baby looks like a blue from the photos in your Albulm. Maybe you could post some better photos!

Hi, elyfuen! Could you ask Chloe's breeder what color she was born?

As you can see in my 2 fotos, my pups were born grey/fawn :

Later, my ''blue/brown'' pups turned brown as you can see here: no health problems, 100% healthy :) only sparse short hair.

diagnostic: color dilution alopecia (CDA), no cure.

Here's a recent pic of Hippo our blueborn. He is 1 year & 4 months old & a healthy little guy!!

As you can see in his photos he has very 'skimpy' hair. His skin seems to get oily & makes him feel 'greasy' at times~but with frequent bathing~it makes a huge difference & he feels soft again.

He has virtually no hair on his ears, nose & fronts of his legs or back of his tail. ~Makes for easy grooming!! :O

He is always full of energy & very helpful rounding up our chickens & goats!! He is so comical to watch as every morning he runs so fast~like a little wind-up toy~around our entire property clearing out the 'vermin' that don't belong there!! ie. wild rabbits & squirrels!! & He only barks if he sees something.

He is a sweet little guy & we love him to bits!! Another thing that makes him unique ~ is that he has longer legs than his mom & dad & is very lean. He uses his arms to wrap around you when you are holding him~like a little monkey!! It feels like he's hugging you!! We all baby him~he is very special to us & we are enjoying every moment with him!!

I just had a blue born yesterday, and was so darned excited to see such a unique colored puppy!:D
Now, after reading some of the effects this can possibly have on him, all excitement is gone. :(
He was born in a litter of 5, and is 2nd largest of all. So far he is thriving, and doing wonderful... but it has only been about 36 or so hours.
My little guy does not have black points at all, but is fair on the nose and feet too. I see some have had no health or hair issues at all, however some do?
I've tried to read this entire thread, but it's sooo long, and so many not so useful posts from people just curious. I'm wondering if someone can point me to a breeder or two that have raised these little guys with some successful results? Yes, I want to know the bad too... but I would really like to remain as positive as possible. He's so adorable, and I don't want to be told to put him down just because he's the wrong color. That's just mean in my opinion. :( I'd be considered a runt myself, but no one thought to put me out of my misery for it. I don't feel being unique or different automatically means a bad thing. Is this wrong?

blue born...
 

ok... trying this pic thing again, since it didn't work the first time. :confused:

YT member Kendra has a blue born you could pm her

Thank you chachi, already messaged her. ;) Except that her blue boy has black points, and my little guy doesn't. Not sure if this makes a difference? ...so hoping to get some input from others who've had the same as my little guy, and all blue. :)

Thank you, I've already PM'd her. Unfortunately her blue boy isn't quite the same. Her little guy seems to have a darker coat, black nose, and feet... where my little guy is fair colored everywhere. No black or dark points at all.

Hi, your baby looks just as Mack did when he was born.....I will attach a pic, but there are also lots of pics of him in my albums. First and most important....STOP READING THE INTERNET! Your little guy has a chance! I have had a fair amount of experience since Mack was born with blues. There are currently 2 other blues that have made it to a year old that I follow. Mack turned TWO, yes I said TWO :) in February!!! He is an amazing little guy who has fought hard to be here! He currently has NO health problems, however he lives a very sheltered life. I most likely could talk to you in person (phone) much faster than I could type everything. Most importantly right now, do not be discouraged! please! There is HOPE, I promise! I will PM you my phone#!

oops! heres a pic!

haha... ok, I will stop now. :p
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.

((((Kendra)))) You rock!
