| If I ever got a dog that wasnt a yorkie it would be a fawn yorkie. Julz on here has one her name is Mercedes.(cant forget cause shes so darn cute). But I dont know if finding one will ever happen ,its a unusual genetic opps and from what Ive found in looking the people who get them dont really know what they have. |

| I know someone who has a yorkie that is all gold too. He's beautiful...but you sure couldn't tell he was going to be that way when he was a puppy. He looked like the standard black and tan. There was no hint that he wouldn't be a standard color. I just don't know how you will be able to tell what you are getting until they go through their final color change...

| I know they are rare. Very. I had a female who only lasted a month and died before I even got her papers. Her heart gave out. That will teach me to get a so called t-cup baby. Anyway I know someone who has a male but they are so rare no one is breeding around here for that trate. I would love to have another one but my search is not going very well at this point. Im sure it will take me some time to find the right one if I find one at all but it will be soooo worth it. If you have ever seen them they are so darn beautiful that you just cant help but love 'em. Thanks again everyone. Any websites would be greatly appreciated. Tracy |

| AKC does register them if their parents are registered. They're still purebred yorkies. I don't view them as rare but some sellers may try to market them as that. They're pretty easy to find, but certainly not like the traditional yorkies. I've seen some gorgeous ones. I'm sorry your lost your previous baby. Best of luck on your search. Susan |

An Important Note About Color in Yorkshire Terriers . The most distinctive characteristic of an adult Yorkshire Terrier is its long blue and tan silk coat. A puppy is born black and tan, but the only recognized colors for adults when registering with AKC are blue and gold, blue and tan, black and gold, or black and tan. . The AKC Breed Standard and YTCA Code of Ethics do not recognize any other color dogs than noted above. This includes all gold, born blue, liver (also known as red or chocolate), and parti-colors. One of the reasons for avoiding breeding "off-colored" Yorkies is because it could be a genetic defect that may affect the dog's health. Some health problems can include, but aren't limited to, severe skin problems, allergies, total hair loss and in some cases long-term illness and/or death. . A responsible breeder will not intentionally breed for undesirable traits. On very rare occasions, a breeder will have a puppy born with a color anomaly. That puppy should undergo careful health screenings before being placed in a spay/neuter (non-breeding) home. A breeder should certainly never promote these deviations as being desirable or rare. . There are many issues that potential Yorkie owners need to study before purchasing their dog. We hope you will read the helpful information at this website and make an informed decision. It could very possibly save you aggravation, disappointment and expense. We wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of a happy, healthy Yorkshire Terrier.
