Sadly, there are a lot of bait and switch artists out there. All puppies are adorable though and hopefully you will be happy with these darlings no matter what they end up looking like.
Most typical Yorkies start out mostly black with a little light brown on the paws and face. They can lighten up as they start to lose the puppy coat and get their adult coat. I have never seen one that light at such a young age as yours.
There are people who breed what they call "golden" but it is not standard for a Yorke and how they got that color is pretty questionable as far as purebred breeding goes. There is only one color accepted by the YTCA for Yorkies, however, with the Yorkie being such a popular breed there are a lot of people doing some non-standard breeding.
Basically it doesn't matter if you don't mind but I do feel for people who put money out expecting a purebred that actually looks like what they paid for..... and then don't get it.
There have been several new owners that have done DNA tests on their pups that have been here on YT. One in particular I remember got a pup that's hair never grew. The DNA test did show it to be a Yorkie. Some people questioned the viability of the test while others said it was just bad breeding that caused the problem. The owners loved their pup anyway. It is not the pup's fault, it is the breeder and their practices that it goes back on.
Your trying to do everything right and you will get a lot of help here. I hope everything goes well for you. |
