And by the way - my dog Barney is a silver yorkie and he is one of the most gorgeous yorkies I've ever seen. He has received many complements on his coat as well.

It's sad that you so view Coby in the way that you do, and even sadder that you are getting another one. I hope no one decides they don't like you when you turn silver, it's going to happen, you know!

Wow, I agree, that's pretty sad. Most Yorkie owners are so head over heals in love with their pup by this stage that they wouldn't even care if he turns into a frog..... they just adore them.

By the way, Tiki is lighter than I expected, has one ear up and one down, has a little medical prob, bites her toenails, etc., and I wouldn't change a thing about her. She is perfect in my eyes!

Aww thanks. I'll send em tomorrow they are on my laptop at work. Don't say I didn't warn you! I'll be sure to send you bf's all time most favorite hated pic of Uni. LOL!!! You can't even tell it's the same doggy.

I don't think it should matter what color they turn. I never really give it much thought with Bailey, whatever color he ends up I will love and cherish him the same.

I have one from each end of the light to dark spectrum....and I love every stinking hair on both of them. Coby is gorgeous, BTW...but I've never seen an ugly yorkie...I love them all....light, dark, big or small.

[Sweet Apple]

Apple has been like a changing rainbow, w/her colors...Since I'm not good at posting pictures, her avatar is at 9 mo. old...However, she's a little over 1 1/2 now, and her face is red! And the white on her chest is blonde...First she was black on her back, then she went blonde, now it's coming in the blue/black (like dark silver) and I'm excited about that...But I was excited about the blonde too...I hope you won't care what color your baby turns out to be...They are all the same, on the inside...I'm glad someone posted about them not being finished, 'till they were 2 'cause I wondered about that...

Thats sad, you should love your baby no matter what color they are.....

To each his own, I guess. But, I would find it impossible not to love my kids regardless of their coloring.

It's funny, the first yorkie I saw was totally silver. I fell in love with him and wanted a yorkie just like him. I kept seeing yorkie puppy pictures and they were all these little black and tan dogs. I didn't understand Where were all the little silver yorkies, like the one I first saw? LOL

It wasn't until after researching, I learned that yorkies are born black/tan and change color as they grow. And, that a totally silver yorkie wasn't what reputable breeders would ever breed for as it isn't within the standard. But, even knowing that, I still loved the look of that little silver yorkie!

When we first brought Moto home my husband asked lots of questions about what he was gonna look like when he got older and so on and so forth, like will his ears actually stand up will his hair grow long will it be all one color like some or like others. I didn't have all the answers. So this is what I told him.

Yorkies are like a seed. You plant it, you nurture it and care for it, talk to it, feed and water it. Place it in sunlight. Depending on how much love and attention you give it, in return, gives you as much love and attention back.

While I've seen photos (usually of mixed breed yorkies)that both myself and my husband thought looked odd simply because of mixed breeding and didn't meet breed standards. We have seen a vast array of coat types and colors. We personally like the odd duck look. Where something is always out of place or noticeable. Every parent knows there babies short comings. Human or puppy. But hair color is not a short coming.

While were on the wagon of I wish. I wish my little guy was an odd ball and quickly got potty training down. Doesn't make me love him less, but has earned him the name "s**thead" by my husband. Of course my name for him is "wigglebutt" because I try and dress him and do his hair and he never seams to stand still.

What a beautiful thought!

I always recommend supporting breeders who breed to standard, and only those who improve the breed. Most breeders just breed for money, and don't evaluate breeding dogs. Personally though, I don't see any point of pet owners of evaluating their dogs. There are only a couple of categories, cutie pie, and super cutie pie.

There's nothing wrong with having preferences, but your statement that "i dont like silver color yorkies colors it make them look old", is really hard for me to swallow. I agree with the others, you have written so many derogatory things about Coby, you say that you "love" him, but wanted to find a new home for him, when the landlord was going to charge a pet fee. You have complained about his size from the beginning, and I don't think you look at him like a loving pet owner should look at their dog. I know breeders have to carefully evaluate every aspect of the breeding dogs, but just because a dog isn't the perfect example of a yorkie, it doesn't mean you should like him any less. I know you recently got another dog, and I hope you will learn to love it no matter what it looks like. Now I know that you are going to reply that you love your dog, but did you think of what your statement might mean to all those pet owners whose dogs are light blue or silver, which by the way, is within standard?

I encourage people to EVALUATE their breeders, and just love their pet dogs!

I just had take a look at your little Cody in your album and he is absolutly adorable. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/alb...ictureid=73828

It seems to me that he is like the red headed stepchild and you are just not happy with him. Just a few weeks ago you were ready to sell him because you apartment wouldn't allow pets any longer. Within a week of that your "friend" was looking for a new Yorkie puppy and now you have added a new puppy. If you are that unhappy with Cody I would suggest that you give someone else a chance to love him for whatever color or size he is turning out to be. As you can see there are plenty of other members that would love to have him no matter what you see as his "faults".

When you posted previously you wanted to sell him for $500. Claiming to not have money blah, blah, blah but you then turned around and bought a new puppy. I really think it is time that you give this little guy a chance for a loving home that will accept him for whatever he turns out to be.

Yes Tiki and my Max are so much alike, same ear and color and I wouldn't change him ether. Funny most people like him best We get what we get.
