| Is your Yorkie still Black and tan? Holly is 9 1/2 months old and still has the same coat that she had when I brought her home, somewhere between cotton and silky and black and tan. Some of her head hair has lightened up a bit with a dash of silver, but that is it. Do you think her coat will be this color and texture forever or do some Yorkies change color and coat later?

| Chip is still very much black and is 1.5 years old. He's got "silver highlights" as I like to call them.

| Lilly will be a year old July 8th and she's still black & tan. I see a few strands of hair every now and then that look like they have a lighter tint to them and her head hair has lightened up some with the silver like you mentioned. I wonder if she'll lighten up too, my boyfriend's boss said their Yorkie used to be the colors Lilly is but lightened up a lot over the years and now at 8 years and some odd months she's very light so I'm not sure!

| I groom alot of older yorkies that are still black and tan. I know that it is not the "desired color", but they are my favorite! They keep that cute puppy look forever!!! |

| Max is still black and tan and he's a little over 3 yrs old now. He has a little bit of silver on his body, but b/c we keep him shaved most of the time, it's hard to even see it. And it's not very much anyway. He's very dark. Madison is totally the opposite!

| My mom's Yorkie, Rebel, is 1 year old and he is still black and tan. His head is silver, but his body is super black. Lola and Cujo(my younger twin sisters' Yorkie) are both gold and silver and we started noticing a color change at the roots of the hair at about 4.5 to 5 months of age. Your baby could still change colors, I don't know. I am just sharing my experience with you. Here is a pic of Rebel, so you can see his dark coloring. The second pic is Lola at about 8 months old. You can kinda see the silver hair underneath her black puppy hair.

| According to all the literature i've read their coats can keep changing til they're two. Dougal never really changed - still black and tan - at 5 years old I think i'll have to wait for him to become an old man before he turns silver. :P

| Camden is 2 1/2 and she's still black. I love it because she's totally opposite of Wrigley and it's nice having the variation! She does still look like a puppy!
