Yorkie Colors Can anyone tell me if it is rare to have a sloid color yorkie |
I've seen blonde yorkies that are described as rare, but they actually have a genetic default in their pigmentation. |
Welcome to YT! :) Yes it is rare to have a solid colored yorkie,but it is not allways a good thing. From what I've read here on yorkie talk,the all blue ones are suseptable to having more health issues. I'm not sure about the chocolates. You could click on the searsh button and mabie type in (solid colored yorkies) and look thru some of the old threads about them and find out alot more than what I can tell ya. I deffinatly would not pay extra for one if a breeder was to ask more for it, just becouse I dont believe they fit the standard as far as the coloring goes. Sometimes breeders will call them rare to get more money,just like calling the runt of the litter (teacup) for more money. Hope this helps. |
Here's a little info. on chocolate yorkies. What is a Chocolate Yorkie? Is it rare? CHOCOLATE YORKIE Actually, the "Chocolate Yorkie" is an overload of red gold and is a mutation of our breed and should not be bred as it is a complete loss of pigment. Notice that the nose is liver colored and that there are no black eye rims on this puppy. It is my understanding that AKC has many colors on their list that will allow almost any color Yorkie to be registered and the parent Club is working to disallow that. I have been approached by people who have registered this color, even though it is incorrect for our breed. There is no reason that they cannot be placed in a loving pet home and live a good life, but they are definitely a mutation to our breed and not in line with the Standard we want to withhold. Those that advertise this color as RARE are being dishonest in that they are just trying to enrich themselves with more money, in spite of the lack of pigment in the dogs they produce which could bring a genetic nightmare to the breed. Don't be taken in by this false advertising. |
