My daughter had a blue chihuahua once. Breeder sold it to her as a rare pup, full blood with papers, blah blah blah. That chihuahua ended up looking like a weenie dog, weighed 23 pounds and was blind in one eye and completely deaf with numerous other problems. She eventually had to have him pts. Hind sight is always 20/20. I wish we had known to research before instead of after. Poor dog. Vet warned us of Merle genes. Some dogs just weren't meant to have them, and definitely not breed them with other merles.

| Blue as in the ideal color of a yorkie's saddle or a blue born pup? Is it the spots that dog had? The pups were cuts, but it looked like one of them was missing lots of hair on his/her saddle.

I may be wrong about the pups being blue born since I can't read whatever language the sites in, but I'm assuming that the pups are blue born.

| Blue merle is a recessive gene/trait. Only certain breeds have merle... Yorkies do not. It's impossible to have a purebred Yorkie that is blue merle, it had to have been mixed with something. There is a lot of controversy over merle in general.... merle on merle breeding is super bad. I know it usually causes blindness/deafness. It's most common in Australian Shepherds and Border Collies. With that said, it's one of my favorite "colors" on a dog -- I just think it's soooo pretty! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...blue_merle.jpg

I have to agree with everything you said especially the part when you said its your favorite color on a dog... I think its just beautiful!! I especially love the different colored eyes personally... But i don't think its normal at all for a YORKIE to be merle.

| Pomeranians come in blue merle, and I've seen a 3lb chihuahua that was also. NEVER a yorkie. It looks as though they have included the pom or chi at some point during these lines, and the dilluted it to be more yorkie like. I usually find when crossbreds are YorkieX that the yorkie coloring is dominant, so who knows how they got a dominate blue merel lol. Not legit yorkies though... although that would be pretty!

| These look to be a cross between Mini Aussie and the Biewer or Parti Yorkie. I see a lot of Aussie characteristics in several of those pictures.

| I meant blue born as on the other forum an "off color breeder" seemed to me she flipped out saying she wanted to see the parents and was really concerned about the double merle genes was this breeder aware of the dangers, were they aware of blue born issues at all. Furthermore the "off color" breeders on the forum were all in shock about where the merle came from, so I was thinking if a forum open not only to Parti's but chocs/golden/white/silver yorkies is confused and concerned about (they know their color genes) merle how can it be part of the natural blue coloring the czech breeder claims to have manipulated? Must be a (mini Aussie huh interesting idea going to look at those now?) crossing IMO-with my uneducated interpretation of reading about merle Honestly the full merle puppy in the video weirded me out-it is a beautiful coat no doubt, shockingly beautiful to me- but it made me think of my cousin's Heeler with her beautiful merle pattern and my Elvis jumping in the air to "get to her" at an opertune time- the things that go on in my head Then I'm secondly just concerned for health issues regarding the genes-their issues. Pink is my fav. color...just putting that out there (j/k sorry no offense anyone)

BANNED! | Oh what a beautiful merling The lady breeding merle Yorkies is from Germany I believe. She has a Facebook page called Merle Yorkshire Terriers, I been following it for a few years now. You could see that she most like outcrossed her yorkie with a long coat merle cobby Chihuahua, than crossed back the chorkies to the Yorkies. You can set the type in any breed by the third generation and they will breed true. That's why Mars DNA testing will only go back three generations, because it really doesn't matter what is in a breed before that as long as it has been bred back to it own kind for three generations. I've been breeding merles for years in my Toy Doxies. You only run into trouble if you cross the merle with another merle that has to much white on it, like a full while collar, white splashed chest, white boots, sometimes even the smallest spot on the chest is enough to cause the puppies to be born with a lot of white and they will be deaf, Ones with blue eyes could have smaller eye globes and off set pupils or worst, on eyes at all. I've done merle to merle with no white markings anywhere and the puppies are just like any other puppy that is born normal, not one thing wrong with them. But it's a gene that the novice breeder should be aware of before they get involved with breeding the merle gene. But now a days I always go with the merle to black and tan so I get a little of many colors. My main stud carries for just about every color out there and it is very interesting to see new variation of colors being born with each breeding. Being retired now, I all the time in the world to devote to my little one, and couldn't think of one thing better I would like to be doing with the rest of my life. The merle Yorkie will catch on sooner or later, and when it does, it will be like a run away train you can't stop, no more than you could stop it in Great Dane, Boxer, Doxie, Cocker, Poms, Min Pins, Pits, Chihuahuas, and now Yorkies to just name a few. You name it's going to come in merle someday. The dog is whatever man wants it to be, after all, all breeds were created by man. Merle dogs are simply stunning to look at, and people become hooked on a look when it comes to the dogs they buy. My hat's off to the breeders that have the nerve to take that giant step forward, along with all the bad mouths out there, and go develop their hearts desire. Wait until I develop the merle Mi-Ki and my own lines of merle Yorkies, man are the tongues going to be flapping. Oh by the way have you checked out the beautiful chocolate merle Great Danes on Kiss My Cocoa.com????... Absolutely gorgeous! Chase at 13 weeks for dachshund talk_.jpg |

| a blue merle yorkie is not a yorkie blue merle is in several breeds and is gorgeous, but if you breed a merle with a merle you will mostly likely get a double diluted gene which causes blindness and deafness |
