| Showing Off Color Yorkies I have never shown and have no interest in showing even though one of my girls came from a show breeder (parents both were being shown). I know there are others who are interested in showing goldens and especially partis and I have been told that there are plans for an independent club. I wish them luck but it isnt for me.

| The breed standard calls for a certain color coat. The Yorkie is supposed to be a dog with a solid color body and lighter colors on the limbs. I have seen gold or "blonde" Yorkies and they are beautiful but they are not what the standard calls for. One of the reasons for a breed standard is to help to maintain the original characteristics of the breed. Usually those who show their dogs in AKC competitions are pretty careful in trying to meet those standards. There are other registries available in the US but none of them are involved in maintaining accurate records or in trying to maintain the breed purity. |

| She is definitely blonde I just adopted her and she is 2 and a half years old. AKC registration is as good as the breeder I have seen many AKC dogs that were very poor quality of their breed. AKC pretty much does not prevent the showing of the color yorkies maybe but I haven't seen one shown that ever won confirmation. If other registry's accept color yorkies to be shown that is why they would br regestered to another registry. I would post a picture I don't know how to post the picture. |

| Thats a shame, that the others don't breed to a standard purity or keep accurate records. I was assuming a registry woul have a standard and records if they show. I understand wanting the breed to a standard but since parti's and blondes are yorkie's if they met confirmation standard I think they should be shown just like the cocker spaniels recognize different colors JMHO. I'm fine with my pet. She is definitely blonde with the parti gene. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | This is directly from the AKC site for breed standard. Colors Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: Blue: Is a dark steel-blue, not a silver-blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. Tan: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan. Color on Body The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of tail. Headfall A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan color should not extend down on back of neck. Chest and Legs A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs. Disqualifications: Any solid color or combination of colors other than blue and tan as described above. Any white markings other than a small white spot on the forechest that does not exceed 1 inch at its longest dimension.

| If a dog is registered with AKC they are allowed to register to be in a show. Obviously no one knows what the dog really looks like until it shows up in the ring. That is when a dog with a color fault would most likely be disqualified. AKC only allows the dogs to be registered in certain color categories. Since the Yorkie is supposed to be a two toned dog "golden" is not one of the options for registration. |

| The goldens are listed as tan on AKC Certificates. It isnt listed as one of the choices but once you send in 3 pictures of the dogs, your certificate comes back noting them as tan.

| Just wanted to share a couple photos of my blondie, Dolly. She was born dark. The first was taken when she was about 2, the second is current, at 9 years old. Would this be called golden? Seems lighter than that to me.
