That is really a stunning color.

Oh wow, what a stunning little dog...!

My Penny has a silvery coat on her back, but sadly it isn't silky like that.

Oh thank you very much

When we got him at a year old he weighed one pound, and had matts and could not walk... He is much better now

Oh I knew he was small, but I had no idea he was that small. Glad you found him, and could give him a good home, his coat looks beautiful now.

Yes, he looked just like that even a little lighter.

but the shine is right on. I hope my new puppy matures with similar coloring... she is pretty light right now for how young she is. I saw her at 3.5 weeks and she was already showing light coloration on her legs and back a little.

While, I think there are many beautiful lighter colored Yorkies I prefer those that are within the breed standard. I have another female at home unrelated to Yap Yap that also has a very silky coat and she is about the same color as Yap Yap but both her parents are dark steel blue. I would have never believed she would have turned out so light. So you just never know. I hope your puppy turns out to be just what you want but I am sure you will love her regardless. When are you getting her? We will be looking forward to seeing pictures.

Omi-gosh. Yap yap is GORGEOUS!

I have pics of Missy's Mom, she is pretty light coloured too. I'm hoping Missy will end up with her coat.

What an interesting thread! I have to say, these lighter colored yorkies are just beautiful!

Missy's mom is very pretty. She is about the same color as my Shorty. Shorty was about 4 years old in this picture. He is lighter now and he is around 9 years old.

Thanks, he is single but his courting days are over.

Thanks to all for the complements on Yap Yap. She was a special girl. I never kept any of her pups because they were always too small. She weighted 5 pounds. I rehomed her about 5 years ago.

I believe the Platinum yorkie your talking about is just the womans website name and or could be her kennel name to. just go to Platinum Yorkies i have known this site has been there for some time. My Cowboy is very light also, we call that just silver back

She had both parents on site and he was almost all silver on his back and had a golden face. So instead of black he was silver? Is this an "platinum yorkie" or is this just a scam of sorts? Well not really a scam because she is going to be a pet and I thought the coloring was cute... but more a common or recognized color?

Yorkshire Terrier Puppies For Sale is the site they have other links reffering to the lighter ones as platinum's and the others as black and tans.
