Evil looking dog.......
 
Why is the picture in the Yorkietalk logo such an evil looking dog ?
There are such beautiful yorkie's all over this site, I dont understand why this picture is used as a logo. Those eyes look really evil.

Thats the owner and admin of the sites dog yoda.

Britster 03-13-2009 12:35 PM
Dog is a cutie but I agree- they could use a much better photo without the green eyes and such.

DJohn36755 03-13-2009 12:37 PM
I think its one of those camera/eye/flash problems - I have it all of the time - mostly with my larger dog - I'm sure her little one doesn't really look like that - or that her eyes don't ....I usually put my photos into i-photo and take out the weird eye flash thing.....

miljoy 03-13-2009 12:40 PM
Sorry Admin, I didn't mean to be rude about your dog, its just the photo. Those eyes really stare at me.

You know the little green light that is under the username? (See picture). Attachment 269251

If it lights up green, this tells us the user is online. If blue, the user is offline. I think Yoda's picture just tells us he's online all the time! :D By the way, most Yorkies with silky coats show up with green eyes when a flash is used. Some cameras reduce this effect, and you can eliminate it if additional room lighting or spotlights are used. However, many of us have grown to love the look.

Funny, I was wondering the same thing. Very cute dog... but creepy green eyes. I didn't realize it was a picture of a real dog. Some of my photos come out the same way, it just depends on the angle I think.

Yoda??? From Star Wars?

QuickSilver 03-13-2009 03:08 PM
Aw, it's just a flash in the eyes. It happens to the best of dogs! I think he's a cutie.

Thor has an extremely silky coat and his eyes can look orange or green in the flash. I agree it just depends on the angle of the camera.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to photoshop the eyes. :)

Krystee 03-13-2009 04:23 PM
I thought the same thing when I joined. lol. I'm sure it's an adorable dog but the way the picture is cropped... it just looks like a head with spooky glowing eyes. lol

wemple2 03-13-2009 05:06 PM
We love you Yoda, green eyes and all!!! Sometimes if you try to take the color out of the eyes, the picture actually looks worse.

Bianca 03-13-2009 05:14 PM
OMG what a rude thread:eek: you are crazy to post that!! thats SO insulting.:eek: I think Yoda looks like a little doll:aimeeyork

AprilLynn 03-13-2009 05:27 PM
I've seen Yodas pictures and he's so cute. It's just the camera flash that makes his eyes appear green...that happens when I take pictures of my Chloe sometimes too....

Can I just say Bianca, that i did know this was a real dog, it could of just been clip art. When I was told it was admins dog I apologized. It was more rude of you to call me crazy and rude.

FlDebra 03-13-2009 10:08 PM
It's all in individual perceptions. Since I know about the green eye reflection = silky coat, I don't see those little green eyes as scary at all. I think of it as a BIG positive. I would guess that Yoda has a nice silky coat.

It has been said that if your dog's eyes reflect light as green, the coat is silky. If they reflect light as red, they have a cotton coat. This proved true for my two and many, many members have reported the same. Puppies reflect as blue for several weeks.

Sorry for calling you crazy, your right, it was rude.
But I don't care if it was Admin's baby or not, you just don't post things like that,in my opinion :(
I would be so hurt if that was my dog.

yorkiemomto4 03-14-2009 01:16 AM
I don't think the op meant to insult anybody. I don't think she thought it was a real dog. Actually, i never really payed any attention to the green eyes until it was brought up. Everytime i came on YT, i always thought...that little yorkie is sooo cute!

I didn't know silky coats show up with green eyes. Why? I have notice that Ivys eyes will come out like that sometimes but I thought it was just my bad picture taken. I can never get a good picture of any of my cats, but I know they have different type of eyes.
I think this turned into a good info thread .I never heard of this before. :cool:

Lucia 03-14-2009 02:22 AM
I find the eye shine colour thing interesting as well - Twinkle's eyes shine a kind of orangey green, if that makes sense.....is it possible to have a coat that is a combination of silky and cottony? She doesn't really matt, but its not that beautiful silken hair that I've seen before. It's kind of soft, like rabbit fur, with a satiny sheen. I never realised the pic at the top was Yoda - he's cute:) xxx

I don't think she meant it rudely.

Honestly, they could have choose a little better picture, lol. I think the dogs cute but I feel like there's so many professional Yorkie pictures you can find on Google that would suit a forum better. And the majority of people first signing up for this site probably had NO idea silky yorkies have green eyes and cottony have orange. I didn't even know that, lol.

My dogs picture never really have any discolored eyes, maybe it's my camera? I have a really good camera. On my cell phone though, they do have creepy eyes.

Here's an interesting article on eye shine.

Yorkie Eye Shine

First Yorkies are almost "unique" in the dog world. They carry a silk gene, and if they are breed correctly carry 2 blue (bb) or 2 black genes (BB) and 2 progressive graying genes. In addition, they also have a dilute gene.....this is what determines how light or dark the blue pigment color of the saddle is. When all these genes are present in the correct combination in one dog you have one beautiful animal. There's a lot more to this part of the blue coat.....but you need to read Dr. Little's "Inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs". He did much study on many breeds and although written long ago is still considered the bible of coat color in dogs.

The eye in all animals except pigs and man have a reflective layer along the back of the retina called the tapetum. This layer serves to reflect light to allow maximal usage of the available light. In some animals the tapetum is colored in others it is not. The reddish color that you see in human eyes is the reflection of the blood vessels in the back of the eye because the tapetum is NOT colored. This is the same in the "red eye" of the Yorkie.


The blue and green you see in the Yorkie's are from a pigmentation in the tapetum -- how this relates to coats I am not sure.....but could be that pigmentation of the eye and coat texture are related genetically. Tapetums are very beautiful -- metallic, brilliant colors in most animals.

You can watch Yorkies, clipped down or in full coat, outside in the sunshine ... and you can easily separate them into two groups - those with a "blue cast" to the coat, and those with a "gold cast" to the coat.

Those with gold or bronze cast to the coat have eyes that reflect a flash bulb or flashlight with the "red eye" or "shiny" red reflection to the pupil.......no pigment.

Those blue cast dogs always seem to reflect blue or green from the pupil.....pigment.

The "red eye" dog has a thicker, softer, more opaque (not shiny silky) coat ... silky coated pups look kind of straggly.

What is going on is that those with the gold/bronze cast has LESS eumelanin (black) and more phaomelanin (yellow). Typically phaomelanin (yellow) does NOT get put in the tapetum. So NO tapetal pigment results in red color from the blood vessels. Whereas the blue cast dogs have more eumelanin resulting in a pigmented tapetum and the reflection that you see is bluish or green. It's very similar in chocolate and black Labs-- chocolate labs tend to have pale gold or red tapetums while the black labs have brilliant green and blue tapetums.

Again it has to do with overall production of melanin (pigment) and where it is put. It also has to do with whether the dog carries the genes for true blue, clerical blue or black AND whether they also carry the gene for progressive graying (dilute). That is my explanation I have learned from study of the breed and genes and pigment.

Is it any wonder that Yorkies are difficult to breed to the standard......<g>

I have to agree, It's a little creepy looking. I'm sure something could have been done to get the camera eye out. It's a cute baby. Even when I take pictures of my baby's even my kids if it has a creepy look to it, I fix it.

QuickSilver 03-14-2009 08:00 AM
Hm. That certainly seems like a comprehensive explanation of eye color in the flash, but it doesn't address the fact that yorkie eyes can look green OR orange in the flash. This is not just Thor, I've seen other people post that their yorkie's eye color looks different in different pictures.

Thor's eyes do have a greenish cast to them - on very enlarged pictures with a flash, I can see that they are a deep brownish-green. However, he can definitely have "red eye" or "green eye" in the flash.

Note where it says, " You can watch Yorkies, clipped down or in full coat, outside in the sunshine ... and you can easily separate them into two groups - those with a "blue cast" to the coat, and those with a "gold cast" to the coat."


And:

"The reddish color that you see in human eyes is the reflection of the blood vessels in the back of the eye because the tapetum is NOT colored. This is the same in the "red eye" of the Yorkie."

I think the orange would come from a "gold" cast to the coat mixed in with the red of the blood vessels.


Our camera has one of those double flashes, and if Joey doesn't move between the first and second flash, the eye shine isn't noticeable. Also, if I use additional lighting, spotlights, for example, I don't get the bright green, but more of a deeper green, or brown. The eye shine is caused from a reflection of the flash.

QuickSilver 03-14-2009 08:25 AM
Sorry, Nancy, I don't think I understand what you mean. If you look at my avatar, you'll see that Thor has an extremely silvery body. He has much less bronze than the average yorkie. By the article's standards, that should mean his eyes would flash green. I don't think there's anything in the article that would indicate that a yorkie's eyes could flash both colors.

My camera also has red eye reduction, and it doesn't really work for Thor. I've read some amateur books on photography that said that red eye reduction works on humans by reducing the pupil size (reaction to bright light). In pets that doesn't work because the pupil is so much larger.

I usually use the first flash on the camera to see if it's going to light up Thor's eyes. If it does, I change the angle.

Keep on Flashing
 
One of my favorite things is looking at all the photo's. So keep on flashing and posting them please. I know it is one of the hardest things to get a little yorkie just right. A lot of you are really good at it. Well done :)

Very interesting. I have always wondered about the relation to coat and eye
