Question re: Blue and Gold yorkies... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Fran42478 · 10-09-2005, 06:44 PM

I was speaking with someone today about Yorkies (What a suprise huh!) and when I had mentioned Sammi was blue and gold she had said..."Wow that is a suprise, it's a very rare yorkie color now" Is this true? I know I do see alot more of the black and dark tan ones, but I am pretty sure the blue and gold are not as rare as she says...

Anyone know if the Blue/Gold yorkie is rare now?

XoXoXo

PS - I attached a pic of Sam because I am not 100% sure even that her coloring is considered Blue/Gold

I thought Blue and Tan are the 'breed standard' colors.

mine has a bluesh silver body and tan face and paws....

there are 4 AKC colors
Black and Tan
Blue and Gold
Blue and Tan
Black and Gold
also now Parti-color

The blue and gold is not rare at all
your friend might be refering to a blue born puppy and getting them confused.

hope this helps

I would say and blue and tan from the pic but its sometime deceiving where as the colors could be more pronounced in person.

Kacee's body is turning silver. Her head is turning pale blonde. Is that blue and gold or something else? In the avatar it looks white, but it's not...

Chachi is like you describe and he is a blue and tan. Jewels has a golden face and she is a blue and gold.

I also have a blue & gold yorkie and his name is sami too

The breeder I bought him from told me that they are called blue because his skin is almost colbalt or a blue black? the gold on sami looks like an amber so Im not sure what the differnce is other than I know sami has dark blue skin and actualy I would say he is blue black? your baby is too cute!! does anyone have any pics of the of the difference between blue & gold /blue & tan I know the tan is quite obvious but how does the breeder decipher the difference? here is a pic of sami and he is 9 months and he is still quite black his amber is turning into a blond looks like I had his hair weaved

wow she is so pretty! thank you! I think maybe sami is taking awhile to look like summer he still looks like a puppy? maybe it's because his summer cut has not grown long enough to look like summer? he is nine months now and summer looks like like a little model
