the pretty Golds and Blonds! On the color, if I am understanding it correctly, it is like a recessive that has carried through the generations seen or not depending on the combination of the parents since the founding dogs. Now the AKC (American Kennel Club, the premier dog registry) does not have the Gold or Blond as a showable color at this moment (standards are always changing), however in my limited search of pedigrees, I have come across a Champion Yorkshire Terrier registered with the AKC that is listed as GOLD as it's color, CH.Pretorius' Dandy Sensation. So, if you like a color and it is not a current acceptable color, I feel that life is too short to worry about it as it does not harm the dog so enjoy and if you wish to breed, bred for the betterment of the breed, include such things like temperaments and health as well as conformation as very important aspects. :rose::rose::rose: |
Lexi is a blonde too.....we love her so very much...I think all yorkies are beautiful regardless of size or color :D Hugs Cheryl & Lexi |
She is gorgeous!!! |
I used to have a neighbor,( when I lived in Raleigh,NC) who had a father and son blond Yorkies. I asked her what kind of dogs they were and she told me they were American Terriers. Later she told me they were actually Yorkshire terriers but the breeder was trying to get them registered as American Terriers cause the Yorkshire Terrier club was not agreeable to the color. This was waaaaay back in the 70's when she told me this, I have no idea of where the breeder lived. I think she,(the orgional breeder) gave up as I have yet to see them as a separate breed, or acceptable show color. I have also seen many beautiful silver colored Yorkies but that is apparantly not an acceptable color in the ring either. I actually like those colors though! A Yorky is a beautiful,cute elegant dog, no matter what the colors! |

:) She is beautiful! I like the color variations of the throw backs...LOL They are all so beautiful and unique! |
Those pretty Golds and Blonds! Yes, Golds and Blonds are sooo pretty! My Daisy Mae is one I have her pictured on my web site Home Page I cannot seem to figure out how to get pictures on the threads! Golds are acceptable to be registered with the AKC on a case by case way, one must send in pictures to back up your claim. Sometimes they will call them other things like TAN instead of Gold. Partis are registered in the same manner. So each dog is judged by the AKC before they issue a registration paper. Now, I know from taking to older breeders and breeders that have talked to older breeders, most older time breeders did not go through the trouble of trying to register their 'other' color puppies. Some were killed, given away or registered under a 'traditional' color. If registered under a 'traditional' color, sometimes they included a descriptive word to show the actual color. Like adding 'Gold' in the name if the dog was a Gold.:rose: |

wow, what beautiful colors! a while back I found a morkie, looked exactly like a yorkie but all blonde. I never seen a pure breed yorkie all blonde before, how very beautiful and what little angels!!! |
I have goldens. It is becomming a very common color, the true blondes, on the other hand, are not so common. The blondes are not just lighter goldens, they are blondes, with no red in the coloring. More like a light tan than a gold. |
I think my Addison is a blonde, her pictures can be seen in my albums under her name. Her breeder told me her coloring was called apricot. I just love her more than anything and I always have people stop me to comment on how beautiful she is. I could not agree with them more, but of course I'm partial:p |
OH WOW SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! She looks like a little angel! Maybe it's some sort of 'albino' pigment in her skin causing her hair to be that color. She really does look heavenly though! Bless her pretty little heart! |
I belive, from what I have read of genetics in color, that all of the blond/tan/gold, shaded colors in mammals are a dilution of the color red. Blues/grays are a dilution of black. Albino is actually a lack of pigment. |
4 Attachment(s) She looks almost exaclty like my Mercedes...we even have a kitchen floor that looks like that. Here are a few pictures of Mercedes (now 4 1/2 years old). The last picture was just about a week ago. You have a true beauty on your hands!!!! |

If I understand it right there are two ways that yorkies are blonde. One is a gene that causes dilution of the saddle in which over the first year or two the saddle lightens to a blonde color, and then there is a gene in which the puppy is born golden, or blonde. I think that the color is pretty. I know of at least one line that was known to thow golds, but in her case, most of the puppies were very small and didn't survive. She said that everytime she tried to save a gold pup it just broke her heart. So I don't know if any one ever got a gold pup from her but that there were probably quite a few gold carriers out there. |
solid blonde Hi there! I have been researching yorkies like crazy, and I started out wanting the original pure bred classic tan and blue/silver yorkies. But after coming across a breeder that had a blondie I became obsessed with having a blonde yorkie. So I read up on them, and if you ever wanted to put your dog in competitions she would be disqualified because of her "unoriginal coloring". I also read that if a dog is any other color than the classic tan and blue/silver than it has to be because the breeder didnt have a pure yorkie, whether it was the mom or dad. Even those party yorkies that go for so much money are considered to be not pure bred and would be disqualified in any competition. Knowing how I am I thought this was going to change my mind about wanting a blonde yorkie, but it didnt, I dont plan on competing with my dog at all, I just want her for myself. So to answer your question, your dog is that color because either her mom or dad wasnt a pure bred yorkie, heck, it could have even been her grandma or grandpa that wasnt pure bred. To me it doesnt matter, the blonde ones are as beautiful as the "original colored" yorkies. I cant wait to get mine! |

Blondie Hi. I'm the mummy to two maniac yorkies. I've had a steel for the past 4 years and recently rehomed a 9 month old solid blonde.. she's nuts unlike my placid steel blue princess. I think she invented the term "on the ball" as I can't even have a bath without her throwing a ball in with me! :) Nice to come across a forum dedicated to Yorkies, heya guys x |
My yorkie is a total blonde. My fur baby is a male AKC registered yorkshire terrier who is a beautiful solid blonde. According to his AKC pedigree and verified by the breeder, his mother is blonde (shown as tan on the pedigree) and his father is the original black and tan. Both his Dam's parents are also listed as tan. His Sire's parents are listed as black and tan but the Dam lists "parti" as part of her colouring. This, I understand, means he can throw solid colours, like my blonde, and his progeny can do the same |
