That’s not true Yorkies are generally a blue steal and tan but there are full Yorkies that stay. I know I’m not a veterinarian hints vet assistant lol. I have made some pretty awesome friends on here so some like me pretty well. You need to take a step back. You said you had a Merle yorkie and there is no such thing so I was just trying to inform you of that. Then I got to the bottom of why it appears you have one. Sorry if that offended you.

Akc recognizes 150 breeds. Ckc recognizes 400 different breeds. He has genetic background checked and he is a real Yorkie. Akc may not recognize him as a $5000 Yorkie but he is legit. There is now a Merle Yorkie and if any stickler says otherwise then they can kick rocks.

It’s not a reputable registery and since there is no such thing as a Merle yorkie it’s a mix. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad pup but it’s not what your trying to say it is. I’m sorry. It seems like you don’t know much about Yorkies.

There is no such thing as a merle colored yorkie. He is likely mixed w/ a Pom - as that breed does have merle as a color.

You may want to read the actual yorkie breed club website - The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America - to understand the yorkie breed standard. The merle color is absolutely not included in the breed standard and therefore cannot be called a yorkie. That's just a fact - and not at all a judgement. Trust me - I LOVE merle-colored *anything* - it's definitely not a judgement!

I’m afraid my posts may have come off as a judgment when they weren’t meant to.

I googled Merle Yorkie's, there are many websites on them and we all know what we read on the internet is to be taken as the gospel truth . They are refereed to as exotic yorkies. There will be no changing OP's mind when it is splashed all over the internet that there are Merle yorkies. The different colors come from a recessive gene, but they are still "just" yorkies, just like the chocolate and parti they are still yorkies, just not the standard color. People fall in love with this awesome yorkie breed, when they start searching for their perfect baby they come across these "exotic yorkies" they want what they think / feel is a rare yorkie and pay big bucks believing they have a rare new type of yorkie. Me lol, I LOVE the standard color the yorkie was breed to be.

I have seen sites out there advertising Blue's as rare and that just seems so sick to do that.
