need an answer fast I have people coming to look at my litter of 4 yorkies,one of them has a lot of the tan colour coming through the black on the top of her head,whereas the rest of the litter are black and any litters I had before were black at this stage too,they are 4 wks old.Will this fade away when the grey starts coming through? has anyone noticed this before in a pup,thanks for any help on this |

it can take up to two years for yorkies to get their full coloring. if you know your line then it shouldn't be hard to figure out what colors they will be. look at your pedigree. what are the coloring of the grandparents and so forth. it is best to have a pedigree w the same coloring so there is no quessing but that is hard to find when people just breed who ever to whom ever. |
ohhh and another thing....just a thought. most people don't have anyone see them until they are at least 6 weeks of age. some 10 weeks. they will change so much from 4 weeks to 10 weeks. |
Great advice Lisa:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
It really is best to wait unitl the pups have had their first set of shots before allowing them to be handled by outsiders. Please be very careful, have them leave their shoes outside the door and wash their hands. All it takes is a little poo on a shoe and the pups could end up with parvo. One of my pups from the last litter went straight to gold on her head. She is grown now and a beautiful deep shade of warm gold and almost a charcoal blue. Her mother is a redleg. They go through so many changes that it's hard to tell unless you have past litters to go by. Good luck |
Chachi never did get the silver on the head to went right to tan |
1 Attachment(s) Thanks everyone for all your replies,I dont usually let people see them till they are 6 wks old and have had their 1st vacc,but this lady rang me wanting to know if I had any puppies when they were 1 wk old and i managed to stop her coming till now,she desperately wanted 1st choice,anyway I took all the necessary precautions ,she choose the one with the ginger coming through,this is a pic of her she is the 2nd one from the front |
As the breeder, you are the advocate for the well being of your pups. If you don't wish to have visitors until they are older, say no. If this person could not wait, then she is free to look elsewhere for a pup. Reasonable people will understand your reasons for having them wait. If you are unsure of the possible adult coloring, just say so. I do not allow anyone to pick pups. I make the choice on which pup is best suited by temperment to each environment. I do take preferences into consideration and will allow selection between two if I have two very similar pups in a litter. |
