Yorkie Yakker | Three year old colour change? HI All- My Toto has started changing colour suddenly and seems to be getting tan hair mixed with his blue from his shoulder down toward his bum. At first I thought he needed a good scrub as he loves to roll around in the grass, but he came back the same way from the groomer this weekend. Fresh, shiny and yellow looking - when he was a perfect blue just a few months ago. Has anyone had this happen? Is there any way to stop it?! |

| One of my girls turned totally blonde after about three years. I don't think there is any stopping it, just enjoy it. I thought she was beautiful even if her color was not standard anymore.

| My oldest girl who is now passed continuously changed colors throughout her 12 years. Started out really dark and then was very light by the time she passed. There isn't anything you can do about it, its just their genetics and such.

| My guy's saddle keeps changing from a dark grey to salt and pepper to light silver, back to salt and pepper. Nothing to fret over, its in his genes which go back as far as great, great, great grand parents. A friend had a blond yorkie, not born blond, but coloring changed over time.

| Mike's back used to be pitch black, at 2 yo he started getting silver/greyish tones on his bottom, and this year at 3 yo his neck is getting lighter and lighter. So curious to see how it will change with time |

| Toto is just beautiful, no matter what color his hair turns, he will still be the same spunky lil guy

| He’s so handsome! I would just love & enjoy him and not worry about the color. I adopted Milo at three years of age and he is now almost 12 & his color has not changed any. He is truly my sunshine! |

| Oh she was so pretty & Toto is gorgeous too. My old little girl, 14 now, has gone much lighter where she was dark steel blue though her gold hasn’t faded. It’s happened several times with my old ones so a common trait & nothing to worry about. |
