In some cases you're right, but do go lighter and lighter......No, not all yorkies go ligter.....I've got a couple of boys here that are 4 and 6 1/2 and their color hasn't changed since they completed the morphing at about 2....one is a medium blue and the other is a dark blue......

Awwwwww, I love the golden Yorkies. You are so lucky!

bellanrocco · 02-02-2010, 09:34 PM

Wow, the color is gorgeous..I'd like to see updates on your lil gold/blondie!

The golden color is typically thought the result of a gene mutation as is when a pup is "chocolate". While a color fault...there isn't anything wrong.

Cute new babies...hope they all grow and thrive.

It's really interesting to see such genetic variances when mating pure-bred yorkies.

Congratulations on the pretty babies!

I am wondering do the gold yorkies occur the same way that for example a yellow lab occurs? The "ee" gene masks dark hairs on the body, so in labradors a yellow lab with a black nose is actually a black labrador with the "ee" gene that masks all black hairs so it makes them that yellow color. I am a longhaired Dachshund breeder/exhibitor (but I love yorkies!) and in our breed we have clear reds "ee" reds and also clear creams "ee" creams, gold yorkies made me curious that maybe the "ee" gene is why they occur. So the puppies may be genetically black/gold for example, but they got an "e" gene from each parent (it's recessive) and it masks the black hairs making them look gold.

Don't mind my blabbing, lol I really am curious about what gene causes them to produce golds.
