Please help - color change

[MMMM]

I have a 2 1/2 year old Morkie (1/2 Yorkie, 1/2 Maltese,) When he was a puppy he had the Yorkie coloring of black and tan. As he grew up, he changed to silver-gray and white. About a month ago I noticed the white is turning to sort of a buff color. Is this normal for an adult dog, or is it a sign of illness. He was at the vet a month ago for routine shots and blood work, and I wasn't told of any problems. I would appreciate any advice.

I am sure your Morkie is just fine. I have seen them a buff color. Keep in mind the Maltese is white so I would expect to get a light color. There are a few Morkie breeders on here and they might be able in give you some input on what color to expect.

Hi and welcome to YT Angie.
My very first dog was a Morkie and I breed Morkies
I'm sure your Morkie is fine.
It takes almost 18 months or so for a Morkie to
develop their true colors. Most of them become more beautiful as they get older.I would love to see some pics of him. I will share some pics of mine with you as adults. Just PM me
