Not sure if being the smallest would affect color. Color does seem to be a combination of genetics and hormones though. Sometimes breeding dogs that have been used quite a lot, fade more than normal, due to the hormone shifts of multiple whelps. If it is just a hormone situation I doubt it would wind up being passed along. If that hormone shift could cause fading, I suspect an early hormone imbalance could as well. If you notice anything else, you might ask the doc to run a hormone panel at Daisy's next annual check-up. Probably nothing at all amiss, but it is one explanation for color fading. I think there would be other signs if the hormones were so imbalanced, but ask the vet to be sure. I would not worry though, I have seen others fade out -- Daisy is just a pretty extreme example, as you thought when you posted the two pics. I don't know of any other breed that offers such surprises along the way with their color changes. Just another one of their sweet traits. BTW I looked at Joy's website -- she does have some BEAUTIFUL yorkies! They look to be holding their color very well! If both Daisy's parents and other pups in the litter are holding that gorgeous steel blue, I might ask Joy what she thinks. Her experience could answer the question better.

| Daisy is so beautiful and just a few weeks older then Mabel. I hope you and your daughter get lots of cuddles from her and she starts to feel better soon. |

| I think she is beautiful, standard yorkies can and do lighten up when older, and I don't know for sure but I am thinking you cut her coat down, sometimes when you do that they hair closer to the skin is lighter. What a wonderful gift for your daughter, I hope she is doing better but well keep her in my prayers.
