| Merle is NOT a yorkie color and if their are breeders breeding for them more then likely they are not good breeders nor Akc Yorkies.

| Color I, personally, completely agree with you. I much prefer traditional colors, although I have bred some parti-colors, but have no chocolate, blonde, or other colors in my lines. I believe that there must be some mix to have achieved a 'merle' yorkie, as that color is only in dachshund and australian shepherds, that I know of. I would not breed "off colors" and believe the breed should be left alone and not played with to achieve these colors to the detriment of conformation and health. |

| OK, first of all, which pups were the parents? You posted 3 pics and I gotta tell you, contestant #1 is suspect..... I mean he/she looks yorkie-ish but i smell a cross. If that is the case than all of this blue-born stuff goes out of the window, that is only in play if the parents are 100% Yorkies.... not sure why no one pointed that out..... I mean I have seen some morkies and yorkie-poo's that look like straight up yorkies at this age but as they age, things change. The pup looks a bit chocolate/blonde to me. You need to have that first pup tested to see if he/she is 100% |

| So? Last time i checked AKC registration is not contingent upon DNA screening. All you need to do to to get a litter registered is have two id numbers with full breeding rights and a number of puppies then bam, you say 4 pups they send four slips/applications, you have four pups and say you had 7 then you have 3 extra AKC registrations you can slap on 3 yorkie/chihuahua mixes.... it is also possible for a dog to become pregnant by more than one dog...Were there other breeds in the home of the breeder? next door? Its so not that simple. If having the AKC registration umbrella means people can charge more for pups, a greedy, dishonest person will do what they need to do to get over. Browse the classifieds and see how many shady looking "akc" litters are floating around.... It could just be a case of unfortunate genes coming together or a bad photo but I would honestly recommend a parentage dna test to be sure on that one dog. |

| We would all love to think so when dropping thousands of dollars for a dog. The fact is any pair of dogs that is Akc registered with full breeding rights can have their litters registered and no one from AKC questions how many pups are claimed to be born, photo evidence, DNA, or validation from a vet or AKC rep, it's all honor code based. Please take a gander at the clearly posted requirements on the official website or ask a "reputable breeder" If you are gonna go thread to thread towing the line for the AKC then please be sure to know exactly what that label means and does not mean. |

The CKC accepts AKC registration and pedigrees in order to get CKC registration. More and more yorkies have CKC registration now because they come from dogs that were only granted limited AKC registration from their breeders with or without spay / neuter contracts......So many CKC dogs actually have pedigrees and bloodlines technically just as good as many AKC dogs. | |
