Thank you for clearing that up, as that is how it came over to me.I know color does not affect health issues, I wouldn't want a new to be yorkie owner fearing to purchase a yorkie that was darker then the standard color. Getting a healthy puppy is always a "roll of the dice" unless you select an excellent breeder, know of someone that has purchased a healthy puppy from a respectable, educated breeder and can recommend them to you. As much as I LOVE the darker yorkies, my lil unplanned for adopted boy is the standard colors, and I love him more the words can express. I love the breed, I would have been beyond thrilled if this lil boy had the black body but my love for him is just as strong.
