Hi this is an excellent article, the link is to an article on Goldenrays website. Cher has been a show breeder for 25+ years and knows so much about Yorkies and is more than willing to share that knowledge.

thank you so very much just finished reading this . I had already talked to the breeder I received these dogs from since I myself did not raise them or rear them from my own persoanl built lines . I already choose not to ever breed these two dogs together again ... but I sometimes wonder where all this does come from I have never produced one before but like some few others have seen one . and I did make the misstake of owning a blue born pup a few yrs back and it did just as she states in this article . it was about 8 or 9 months old and lost all its body hair and on its head by this age and then was dead before I knew it and nothing could be done it just died one night I woke to find it dead ... no reason ..... Now had I known this all before hand I would have never purchased this ... and yes I was heart broken he was a very sweet little guy .. but not worth the pain ...
Well I will not offer this pup for sale ..... and I dont beleive in RARE in any breed ..... and I dont believe in t-cup in any breed other then the chihuahua ... never mind I wont go there ....
haha
thank you so very much for the link I will do my own write up about this on my site ... again thanks .

So sorry about this blue born pup. Yes, in any breeds of dogs, not just YOrkies, the 'rare' colours are usually linked to a problem. Did the breeder you got the parents from ever get a blue born before?

No this was her first litter . she was bred before but did not produce pups and was bred naturally to the same male .Of which I also have . I purchased 4 adult dogs two females that already had litters and the one female in question who did not produce . We AI'd her this time to the male ... But trust me I am not at all proud of this blue born pup .. He will be fixed as soon as possible and remain here his life span whatever that may be . I do not like or want this or the chocolate in my lines Ive worked too hard too long to mess things up now .
but anyway here it is right ughhhhh

Wow, thanks for this thread and the information on that link provided. I LOVE to learn!

i would love to see pics of your blue born yorkie i hope everything goes well with that baby.

If you go to Whispersmoms Photo Album - she has 'Jullian' in there - a Blue Born - full grown -

From what I know - they DO have health issues & their hair breaks easily and doesn't grow - but maybe not 100% of the time.

here they are

Those are sweet pups. Hope all goes well with the blue born one.

aww he's beautiful i hope he will be ok .i love different personally! please keep me updated how things go with him!

I will keep ya'll posted as much as I can . he will stay here unless he finds a special needs home .. but for now I am not at all concerned with allt that just want him to be healthy but ..........

Your blue puppy is cute. There is someone on here who said they have a blue adult yorkie with no health problems. So i dont think they all have health problems

yes I went to her photo page and saw the blue dog not very much difference in some of the really silver dogs I just hope my GUy will be ok ... keeping fingers crossed .. and payers to the man above to help on this one ..
THanks

Did this little one have any white on him or her at all.Maybe he or she will not carry the alopecia gene wich causes their hair to fall out.I found good homes for our two we had and they both have turned black and have full coats so keep your head up and maybe yours will do the same.We started the last one on melatonin for he was loosing his hair at 10 weeks,he was sold to some people that live about an hour away they kept him on that till the bottle was gone and then he grew his black coat in? Cant explain it ,but I do think the more white they have makes a little difference.If they are ALL blue with no other color that is not good for most likely they will have problems.Hopefully yours will be healthy.I sold mine with complete honesty about them,I told them I did not know what would happen,if he would be ill no hair etc...Make sure they are neuterd if you do place them in a home.Does the little blue one have a shiny coat like the black or is it a different texure?
