| Yorkie??? Hello everyone, I'm new to being a yorkie mommy I've always wanted one. So I got my little puppy a little over a month ago. She was sold to me saying she was purebred. Me not knowing much about yorkies I took her and loved here so much... (still do)as I started taking her out people started saying are you sure that is a yorkie she kind of looks like a mix...the breeder swears on her life that she is purebred. I'm noticing that she does not have the yorkie color her ears don't stand or anything. I think I've been duped lol! The breeder says that she will be a lighter color. She asked me had I heard of parti yorkies and golden yorkies. And nope I haven't lol.. so now I'm even more confused has anyone ever heard of these types of yorkies? |

| I've heard lf parti yorkies, they're super cute but ot the standard. Google it. They're beautiful. I've never heard of 'golden yorkies', although I've seen yorkies who're completely gold, I've never heard that term before. I would love to see pics of your furbaby. |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk and congratulations on your Yorkie! Parti Yorkies are white with black and/or brown markings. There is not an official "golden" Yorkie, but there are Yorkies that look golden blond, more often in adulthood. Standard Yorkies go through a lot of color changes between the time they are born to when they mature. My Teddy had a lot of white blond hair in his topknot and parts of his body. Do you have a photo of your baby to share?

| I saw this, I didn't write it but thought it relevent. "Don't be duped by "breeders" selling "rare colored" Yorkshire Terriers or any other breed. This is nothing but a sales pitch to get more money for sub-standard and non-standard "designer" puppies. These "rare colored" Yorkies are bred for ONE TRAIT ONLY: COLOR! You will not see these "rare" puppies being offered for sale by any responsible hobby or exhibitor breeder. These "rare" colors are mostly offered for sale by the puppy mills and back yard breeders who's sole agenda is to make money. These "rare colored Yorkis" are more than likely a mix breed as the Yorkshire Terrier does not carry the color white. The parti/piebald, chocolate, white, black and blond/gold genes were added years before A.K.C. Mandatory D.N.A. requirements by mixing Yorkis with another toy dog that carried those genes. Possibly a Papillon, Pomerainian, Shih-Tzu, Chihuahua, Maltese, Toy Fox Terrier or Rat Terrier was bred in..It is believed that there was an "oops" breeding in that kennel introducing the parti gene into the Yorkie gene pool. Fast forward 20+ years of breeding back and forth to standard Yorkis and you have your parti colored Yorki. As you can see by the history of the Yorkshire Terrier, none of these parti colored dogs were used when developing the breed, not even the Maltese.(who wants to breed in white hair of incorrect texture when developing a blue/tan silky dog??) And you can also see that the "rare colored Yorkis" don't even come close, conformationally, to a true, well bred Yorkshire Terrier.( Ever notice that most chocolate Yorkis look like Chihuahuas?) Most breeders that breed only for the "rare" colors are only interested in color to the exclusion of everything else, including health problems and soundness in the breed. When they see "color", they see dollar signs only, Breeding only for the parti color can be risky because doubling up on the parti gene can result in blindness and bilateral or unilateral deafness, the latter which can ONLY be diagnosed by a Baer test. Ask any parti breeder for proof of a Baer test done on all of their parti dogs or puppies for sale. It is very doubtful any of these "breeders" can show you any test results. In fact, it has only been recently that the "parti breeders" even added a paragraph about parti gene deafness on their web site. And that only happened AFTER it was brought to their attention via a chat forum, by concerned reputable breeders.(5/2009) The "parti breeders" deny any health problems regarding deafness in their dogs.(Funny how ALL the other breeder sites that breed parti/piebald dogs have parti health problem occurrences information written on their sites, such as the Bulldog, Papillons, Great Dane, Boxers, Aussies, etc) *T-Cups, Apple Head, Pocket Puppies,Micro Mini, Thimble Size or Baby Doll Faced Yorkies are also another sales pitch by unethical breeders only interested in money. These non-standard "Yorkies" have many health problems as, again, they are only bred for ONE TRAIT ONLY and for one reason only. Epilepsy, seizures, breathing problems, open fontanel and horrible patella problems are just a few related health problems. Many are always sick and have short life spans. Let alone normal eating issues. *There are also plenty of unethical "breeders" of standard colored Yorkis out there. Most of these "back yard breeders" have no interest in the breed except to make a few extra bucks. These "breeders", by far, have done the most damage to the Yorkshire Terrier breed. Over size, under size, huge floppy ears, long terrier faces, incorrect soft coats, incorrect colors, bad top lines are what you can expect to buy from back yard breeders and pet stores. Almost none of them are aware nor do they care about the health problems specific to the Yorkie" |

| Yes there are Parti color yorkies, as Maximo describe White with black and brown or white and blk. I have seen golden yorkies, a friend of mine had one years ago. Parti or golden are not standard yorkie colors and not accepted by the AKC for showing, none the less they are still yorkies. Straight or floppy ears is still a yorkie, I had two yorkies with floppy ears and 3 with straight ears, again, they are still yorkies. Everyone is a connoisseur when it comes to yorkies, especially ones that never owned one. Love your little baby for who she is and ignore the ones that criticize.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hi and welcome. She is super cute!! 2 of the pics are super small and I can't really see her well; in the other pic, I can't zoom in enough to really see her fur and whether there is some pure white, or if she is wearing something white. But anyway, to me she looks all yorkie - just a lighter / blonder one. To get the ears to stand up, breeders must tape them up as pups to train them. I guess your breeder didn't do that...? You could try it yourself: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...-stand-up.html

| The pictures are very cute. She is very cute. It really doesn't matter if she is a full yorkie. I don't know if she is or isn't. Way down in her family tree she could have taken traits from a whiter dog or something. Idk? As long as you love her, that is what matters. Hope she is a good sweet pup!! Love her up!! |

| To me she looks like a mix, I see no yorkie what so ever in her, one pic where she has paws on someones leg looks like she has wavy hair, could be a poodle mix. The photos are very small, it's really hard to tell, maybe you can enlarge the pics. But sad to say in MY opinion she does not have any yorkie features. Just LOVE that lil baby for who she is, she is a cute lil lass.
