Anyways just wanting to get some more info on it! And just wanted to add that I love her soo much so it doesn't matter if she is red legged, I just want her coat to grow!!! LOL

Just wanted to let you know that your little girl looks exactly like my Yogi right now!! Yogi is 16 weeks today!! Looks like their coats are very similar...I spent a lot of time with the breeder and Yogi's parents and they both had long, silky coats. Of course, I've learned, that he could have a gene from somewhere else down the line...but I think he has a good chance of having a nice coat on him. Just wanted to let you know that yours looks exactly like mine right now and they are pretty close in age...I'd just give it some time!!
She is so adorable!!!

Can anyone tell me what color Kizzy seems to be gonna turn out? She is 16 weeks old too. I'm beginning to wonder if my breeder showed me the right parents for her. they only weighed 4 and 5 lbs. I bet she is 4 lbs or over now. I will know tomorrow after her vet visit. But she doesnt look as big in person as she does in this picture.

Kizzy is soooo cute!! Her coloring looks like that of Yogi...But Kizzy looks fluffier than him. Yogi's mom was blue and his dad was brown and gold...He has already started turning the blue color on top of his head and behind his ears...so he will probably be blue...Kizzy has a lot more hair on her face, than Yogi. I so wish Yogi's face was like!! What a little teddy bear!!

can you explain to me what you mean by the blue? Kizzy is getting a lot of white hair behind her ears and under her chin and across her chest and over her eyes is looking very light blonde. of course you cant see that in that pic. I hope she turns more of the blonde color. My sister in law has one 10 yrs old. she was about the same color of kizzy when she was kizzys age and she is such a pretty blonde. Or what I call blonde. ty for your answer. I am gonna ask the vet tomorrow

Well, from what I read, and I don't know if I understand completely but from what I can figure, blue is what they call it when the hair is silver. So the hair is actually a silver/gray color but it's called blue in yorkies. Please, if I'm wrong anybody and everybody, let me know!! I'm sooo not an expert on this. Just trying to do some reading and educate myself!

that is the way I understand it when I go read about the colors. So her white/silver should turn?? blue, or blonde? and what happens to her black. If these puppies dont shed what happens to their baby hair when their other hair comes in? Just wondering

I've posted this before but her goes for those that are new with questions. My Yorkie, Jasmine, and my granddaughters, Murphy, are the same age born on the same day but different breeders. I got Jasmine at 11 weeks, Murphy came a few weeks later. They are 10 months old now. Jas has always been very small and petite and weighs 5 lbs now. Her bone structure is very small. She is square (in other words, as tall as she is long. She turned silver and blonde. Her hair has always been pretty long. It is almost to the floor now but is pretty thin.

Murphy is bigger, probably 9 or 10 lbs. She hasn't weighed him. He has stayed black and reddish brown. He is much bigger boned than her. His hair is a very different texture. Much courser and very thick. It was very slow growing. When I first read about the red legged Yorkies I thought maybe he was one.

His hair finally took off and started growing. It is almost as long as Jasmine's now and very thick and pretty particuarly all around his face and neck. He is turning into a beautiful Yorkie so don't give up hope on the long hair.

I will try to post pictures. I've taken almost a role of them but can't seem to get the last few taken so I can have them developed.
