I got two babies a little over a month ago, He is very black and tan, but when I part her hair she is totally GRAY EVERYWHERE!!! I had a yorkie previous to this and she never got this gray! Is this normal? Just wondering. I having been trying to post pics of both, but just can't figure it out? I will keep trying. |

| LOL I'm going through the same thing..are yours boys or girls? I got a brother and sister(they're 17 weeks now), the little boys has some of the grayish/whitish on his head, my girls head is almost completely white already..and hers is also really getting white already down the part..your baby is normal..the breeder i got them from said she was told the other day, sometimes the girls change quicker than the boys.. |

| Hello!! My girl is the one getting WHITE and the boy is as Black and tan as can be! Both are the complete oppostie of my first yorkie, who seemed to be a mixture of all not so extreme. My dogs have the same dad and diffrent moms they are three days apart. I am glad to find out this is normal I was wondering! We keep our yorkie hair short and it won't be long until she is fully gray! |

| Head Or Body Grey??? You Never Specified If The Grey Was On The Body Or Head When You Part It.if It Was On The Head This Is Normal.but If It Was On The Body This Early Then You Will Have Yourself A Silver Colored Yorkie Very Light But Beautiful Also.

| My Xena started to turn silver very early, about 15 weeks. She's now 8 months and her tips are black the middle is silver and her roots are dark gray. I have no idea what's going on with her color! She's 4 different colors at the same time, 3 colors in the same strand of hair!

| Lacy has always been very dark on her back...she never really changed color on her back at all. When I got her at 10 weeks she had silver coming through on top of her head but after a few months it turned to gold. She now has NO silver anywhere on her...she's pretty much black on her back and a deep tan on her face and legs

| My Mocha is brothers with hha's babies and he's got a lot of white/grey right now too. He is 17 and a half weeks. There's a lot of white on his head, it almost looks as if he's balding lol. His body is pretty black, but if I part the hair, there are grey roots that are about a centimetre long. |

| Suzy's hair started getting whilte/silver/grey quite quickly. She now has more silver on the top of her head than black, it's quite cute. But the rest of her body hasn't caught up yet.
