| Yes it is changing and this is just the first of many changes you will see. They seem to change colors almost daily for the first couple years. Welcome to YT.

| Wow, that is definitely a change! I am thinking she will be lighter colored, but probably not the silver that she is showing right now. My male got silver roots on his head when he was a puppy and is now gold.

| Yep, she will continue to change. It's a process. She's very cute, tho. Like a little skunk stripe! Lexie was dark silver & gold and at about 18 months she started changing again. She turned platinum blonde with dark roots and gold/tan on her ears, face and paws.

| It's really funny how much their colours change from puppy to adult. My first Yorkie, adorable girl, had a huge grey head when she was 12 weeks old, it then changed to white and then over the course of two years went to a lovely sandy colour. I can see with my new baby here, she's 16 weeks old and has a white stripe on her head like the Gremlins. Such cuteness hahaha |

| I've not seen one turn like that but I sure think it is adorable! Most of Adie's head was black and then turned white then tan and she is now a blond. I NEVER knew what to expect when she reached maturity but she turned out beautiful. |
