I have noticed that everyone on here loves there pets very much so if you're happy then why does it matter, lol. Also, some yorkies have silver on there crown (as bentley does) but i don't know why it would be on there whole bodies, although i must say that puppiesshould be all black/tan and they should start becoming silver around 12/14 weeks. Well, I hope that I helped, and I didn't want to offend anyone, just wanted to share all of my hard work.

Whatever....

Not sure about the silver puppies, would love to see a picture of them... I have been seeing the pictures of the blue puppies posted and it is not like the blue puppy I saw at a kennel. He Was Blue !!! There was no tan or black on him anywhere. Even his eyes & nose appeared to be of a blue shade and he was 4 months of age. Still healthy at that point, awesome coat at that time, this was over a year ago.... I should contact that breeder to find out how he is doing now that he is older....

Is it a new pup? Sounds like a blue born and that is not good.

Born Black and tan...changing as they get older is common. They can change many times in the life time. usually getting lighter

I purchased two blue and gold Yorkie's. They are AKC regestered. As far as i know, there's no extra health concerns for my puppies. They were bread from two blue and gold Yorkie's. I have no clue how to research the health issues but i believe it's like the red haired humans. Its a rare genetic color they carry. My puppies don't show much blue atm, but they will they get older. There hairs are starting to change a little but they are only 17 weeks old. I can't post pictures as I'm not computer savvy but if you email me pictures I can email pictures of mine. They are silvery, gold, brown, and black haired, but I'll send a picture of dad for you to also look at.

ah ok ya they are only 5 months old..the mommy and daddy dont do it. when they take a poo they get away from it as fast as possible..thats pretty much what i been doing as soon as i see them go to the puppy pad i watch closely and have paper towel in hand to swipe it up..i really hope they get out this phase bc it turns my stomach to see them do that

Blue and gold is the standard color. Its the Born "blue" which is a light like white is rare and have a high death rate.
Colors

Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: BLUE: Is a dark steel blue, not a silver blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. TAN: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.

My babies are only 18 teen weeks old. So they still have there puppy coats. I did just shave them down though. Jewels hair mated on her legs and she hates the brush. We will be brushing nightly now with a soft Brush. Since it won't hurt she should start to love it as Bella does.
