| Hmmm---should she have white on her head? My new yorkie has interesting coloring on her head---she looks like she has white/blond roots with really dark tips (about 1-2 inch of each color). Is this normal? Or is it a sign that she isn't a pure yorkie. Her mom is very light colored and her dad has classic yorkie coloring. Thoughts? |

YT 1000 Club Member | Roxie did this too. I can show you a pic. You can see the tips of her hair are black and the new growth coming out is blonde. DH calls her blondie sometimes. She fits into our family well with that since all 4 of our kids were toe heads!

| Hot Rod had a white patch when we got him and it kept getting bigger and bigger. I didn't realize that this was going to happen. I don't know what I expected from his first groom but all of his black tips were cut off . Now with Maggie May I'm resisting clipping her head as I want her to keep her "puppynish". lol.

| Jackson did the same thing! Alot of white on the top of his head and they had black tips on it. It looked like I had died his hair or something, lol The first two pics were before he was ever groomed. I would guess he was about 18 weeks in those. The last pic is a current one, him at 6 months. The white on his head is turning into the gold/tan color.

| My Snicky has a white patch on his head and I LOVE it!! Will it for sure grow out?? Are there any adult/older Yorkies out there that have a permanent white topped head?? I hope so!! It does not seem to be turning tan at all. Maybe it is silver?? Looks grey/white to me!!
