| Do you have a picture? Most blues are silver. If the pup is a blue you must spay and neuter both parents and keep the blue pup.

| Mom and dad both carry the gene for the blue born. If you mate either of them again they could mate with another dog that carries the gene to any then another blue. Blue burns normally have very compromised immune systems,generally end up with skin conditions and don’t have a long life expectancy. Blue is not something you want to breed for or take chances in getting again.

| That's a blue. Parents definitely need to be spayed and neutered and you need to keep this one. There is one member on here who has had their blue for a good amount of time but he has had a weakened immune system and some other issues.

| It’s a genetic thing. They are always born that gray color. They generally have weaker immune systems and can have skin issues. You need to neuter the male and spay the female because both of them are carriers of the gene and don’t need to be bred and pass that gene down.

| Sikies and yorkies are two different breeds and shouldn’t be bred together.

| Blue born puppies is a genetic mutation in color, these puppies are prone to health problems like skin issues,they can loose their hair, get a very leathery skin that is like an elephant hide and causes the dog to be in extreme pain. Some dogs have to be humanely put down. They can also suffer from deafness and other health issues, some die before the age of 3 years old, and some can live a fairly healthy life, it's a roll of the dice with a blue born. A silver born yorkie should never be used for breeding. Silkies and yorkies are two different breeds, why would you want to cross breed these dogs, Now you have a pregnant female from a male that could have the blue gene. Why are you even breeding, seems you know very little about breeding. You don’t just take a male and female, throw them together and hope for the best. Look what you have now a blue that you should not sell but keep him. Spay and neuter that male and female so they don’t produce more blue’s, that’s what a reputable breeder would do. A reputable breeder checks for genetic defects generations back, parents, grandparents, great grandparents on both mating pair. If any genetic defects are found a reputable breeder will not use them for breeding but will find another mating pair. A reputable breeder would not cross breed two different breeds. A reputable breeder breeds yorkies to better the breed, not cross breed to line their pockets. I pray this silkie that is pregnant does not throw a blue. Do the right thing spay and neuter the mating pair that threw the blue, do not bring more blue babies into this world that may, can, be very sickly, live a life in pain, die at an early age.
