The pure GOLD yorkies

[manolos mom]

Really? Maybe not a golden but take a good look at YHR site. Lot's of Beautiful Yorkies found in the pound everyday.

I don't expect anyone to agree with it.

I agree with Rhetts mama. I think it would be harder to find a great example of the yorkie breed among pet owners. In fact, I'd say it's "rare." I love my baby boy, and all his little yorkie friends, but none of the ones I know conform to standard. So really, if breeding off standard is that special, why do I see it everyday?

And I want to make this clear, since it is often misunderstood in these kinds of threads. ALL DOGS deserve love and respect. They all deserve to be in a home where they are treated in the best possible manner, regardless if they're show quality, off standard, or they're a lovable mutt. As a future pet owner, or one looking to expand their furbaby family really needs to look into where that cute little puppy is coming from.

I 100% agree with this. Look at YTNR, there is a pup named Rex that I met straight out of the shelter. He's a gorgeous little boy now.

T whom are interested in:

In germany is a breeder of gold dust yorkies, her site is www.golddustyorkshireterrier.de where you can find many informations and pictures from gold yorkies.
They are no mixes, they are purebreed. I think this colour is very nice but I can understand if not all of you think the same.
Sometimes in breeds it is possible that new colours from recessive genes are new coming - it happens in cats and dogs.

On my avatar you can see one of my two little boys with a very unusual colour too. He is a very highwhite biewer with a great pedigree and his father is one of the most famous stud dogs in germany. He is not a maltese mix, he is a full purebred with a rare colour. He is like a biewer must look, only his colour is not standard. No one wanted him and I saw him and it was love on the first seeight. A little later I bought our second biewer (he is the halfbrother to my highwhite) of the same breeder - he has the standard colour for biewers.

Vorkies in all colours are so sweet little buddies and I love them all.
