Our Mariah too looks exactly like that. She looks exactly like a balding old man head. Her body is still completely black. It was a bit of a shock because we took her to the groomers. They completely trimmed her face/head and she looks awesome - but completely different. It was like we brought a tan/black dog in and came home with a balding, silver headed dog. LOL! It's taken some time to get used to. She especially looks kind of silly cuz they didn't really trim her body. They mainly did her private parts and face/head. It was her 1st trip to the groomers-they said she was "sassy"! LOL. I expected nothing less as she is all puppy and so active! So now she had this really skinny, tiny face and this big fluffy body. She looks so goofy! She has such an amazing personality. We have to get her body trimmed to match...lol! She is absolutely adoreable. I love her little face!

kash's head looks exactly like the third picture of jeter! he has greyish/silverish hair on the top of his head, too. the strands of his hair are two colors: grey on the bottom half (closer to the scalp) and black on the top half. at first this worried me because it made him look slightly bald, but after close examination, i realized his hair is just two colors right now. his dad is a blue/gold yorkie and his mom is a black/gold yorkie, so i can understand why he would have some silver coming in! i'm glad to see that other yorkies have this too!

Sophie started black and tan. She is 15 months old now and her body is silver and her head is a real light tan. But in between she had a silver head and black body. I think they are all adorable!

KathyK09 · 03-11-2008, 07:54 AM

This is what she looked like right before the groomers.

I'll have to take some updated pics of her tonight!

That's exactly what happened with CoCo

Should you breed a silver yorkie? Is that considered "breed standard'? I really want to breed my Maggie, but was concerned since she's completely silver on her head.

lizziepooh_1 · 03-11-2008, 12:51 PM

Tia is now a year and 4 mos....her head is gray, with tan on her muzzle. Her coat is black, but is now turning blue. Her legs are still tan and her ears are a mix of tan and black. I'm also wondering if her head will become blonde?

I think if you are looking for THE STANDARD... it would not be the standard colors... but if you are breeding for pets then I think you could breed your baby. I neutered Chewy because he was a pet shop dog and I had no history of his blood line. I also didn't want to deal with the marking and he is a family member so no breeding was ever thought of any way.

Sadie is getting spayed TOMORROW

I'm not thrilled... I can't wait till it's done. Poor baby!

Kiki's hair on her head used to be a grey silver color ... now it is almost a platinum blonde. She is 16 months now so I am not sure if this is the color it will stay.

Yorkies that are going to be the blond and silver are always gray like that at first.

This is Raziel at 5 months old. (She's now 6 months old)
