I know there can be serious health problems but if you do a search, you will find other people that have had this happen. Their dogs were okay.

Here is the picture...

Are you sure she isnt chocolate?

That's what I thought too. I'm curious what the breeders will say.

Yes, please give her a chance! Dont euthanize her unless she becomes in great pain or extremely sick.
Gosh she sure looks fat and healthy now per the picture.
Good luck with her! If she grows up healthy someone will cherish her uniqueness as a pet.

In my litter with a grey yorkie puppy, I also had a chocolate yorkie puppy and it changed to very pale silver by 3 months old. My grey puppy with no hair I rehomed for free and the owner absolutely loves him. He wears a coat in the winter and needs sun tan lotion in the summer. Other than loss of hair he is perfectly happy.

Your puppy looks chocolate from the photograph.

No don't euthanize her. I'm sure someone would give her a warm loving home. Just make sure they won't breed her. You might want to keep her until she's old enough for you to have spayed, and then sell her.

No No No, do not euthanize her ... whatz the point to that? She doesn't have an incurable life threatening disease .... She deserves a life ...have her spayed ...

I've seen both chocolate and blue born. She does look more chocolate in which case she will be a beautiful dog. Give her the chance. She may have no health problems whatsoever.

I know it is my responsibility, the only reason I was thinking of euthanizing her was because of the articles I've read, however, I have decided to keep her and let nature take it's course. As long as she is living a good life she will have a home.

The picture looks a little brownish to me. I'm not expert but looked at blue born puppies and they are steel blue. Maybe it is a chocolate one? I hope your puppy will be ok either way. Please give her a chance

I think that puppy looks more like a chocolate too. Congrats on your litter btw! Have you posted pics of all of them?

yorkies4me2 · 04-02-2007, 03:37 AM

Mom & pups doing well, the chocolate or blue (I think you are right, she may be chocolate) is doing super! Thanks for all the help.

Do not do that mating again and neuter the individual with the problem gene.

yorkies4me2 · 04-02-2007, 04:54 AM

I certainly do not plan on repeating this breeding. The girls will be neutered and I have talked to the owner of the stud dog.

fantasiamom · 04-02-2007, 05:07 AM

The breeder I got my yorkie from just had a mom have 2 gray yorkies born and they are fine, the vet said they are healthy. And it was 1 born in the litter before that. Its just something rare. PLEASE DON'T EUTHANIZE!!
