Good luck with your baby

Here is a pic of a "blue born" puppy. Does it look anything like this color?

Not everyone subscribes to this theory. However it holds true for mine.

I didn't know about the 12 weeks I was pretty ignorant about the types of yorkies. Lucy's eyes glowed green and I thought something was wrong with her eyes

. I was about to take her to the vet when a friend who also has a yorkie called and told me about the eyes reflecting different colors.

I agree. I would let your vet look at the puppy before you return it.

I found this information on blue born yorkies. It is quite disturbing. I hope for your sake that yours is not like this. Maybe you can get the breeder to exchange for another one if you are concerned.

precious_mom · 08-23-2006, 09:18 PM

yes! but a little bit darker

RLC12345678 · 08-24-2006, 05:28 AM

I would DEFINATELY take it to your vet to check out before you take it back to the breeder. It may not even be a blue born! Don't make any rash decisions.

DENISE517 · 08-24-2006, 06:04 AM

From all I've read, if it is a blue born... Take it back to the breeder.

Thank You JeannieK for posting Cher's web page about the Blue Borns and other birth conditions that can affect Yorkies. Sometimes the Blue Borns can live a pretty normal life, but many/most do die in excruciating pain.

As the puppy matures the skin gets thicker and hair loss developes, that is why some refer to it as elephant skin. I'm NOT so sure a Vet would know about this condition in Yorkies, believe me, time and experience is their most valuable learning tool and mosts Vet's will never see a Blue Born.

In the 20 years I've been Breeding and Showing I've never had one, and I don't believe Cher ever has in the 25 years or so that she has been. Real breeders do not take this lightly, it is a serious hereditary condition that can be controlled by select breedings. The only place I have heard of this condition in the last few years is from people breeding only for pets, and having little knowledge about the different lineages and what they hold genetically.

I never knew this... Learn something new everyday. That is terrible about the skin. Poor babies!
