New here and black yorkie question I am getting my yorkie in about 2 1/2 weeks. I went and saw them yesterday and they are adorable. I am having trouble picking between the male and female. They are little and will not get over 3-5 lbs. Any suggestions on the difference in the sexes? Also, these two pups are completely black in color with one white hind paw. My fiance's mother's uncle (who has bred yorkies for years) said this is the first time he has seen solid black with no reddish markings. My question is, will they get the reddish markings or will they stay black? Is this normal or rare? Thanks for all the help in advance. kellyntx |

I'm by no means an expert but,I wouldn't be too concerned. It can take up to 18 - 24 months for them to get their adult colors. I have a yorkie that has blonde on his legs and head and he is almost 14 months old. But, he did have the reddish tan markings on his head and legs at this age. Good Luck and keep us posted on which you decide to get. |
How old is the pup you are planning to get? They usually will have some other colors almost from the beginning. It is possible these are "chocolate" yorkies which is a color anomolie. Although they can be registered with the AKC, this is considered an undesirable trait. Fine for a pet quality but not if you plan to show or breed. I only have a female, so I don't have personal experience with males, but I hear you can have a very difficult time keeping them from marking even after they are neutered. I would personally go with the personality of the pup you like the best from your visits. |
Lets see, they are about 10 weeks right now. The male is much smaller than the female. I was leaning towards the female because that is what my brother has but I don't know. |
I'd love to see some pics.......... |
could you please post pics? i have never seen a all black yorkie though .do they have papers? could it possibly be a mix like a yorkie-poo? |
I am no expert either but I have never heard of an all black Yorkie. All Yorkie pups that I have seen have been Black and tan. THey almost resemble a Rotti pup. By 10 weeks i would say that if the tan was to come out it would have by then. I would tend to think that maybe she is a mix. Good luck. I would love to see some pics as well. Michelle |
I have a male and a female - The ONLY trait that I prefer one over the other is Ruthie squats to pee 100% of the time, whereas Oscar squats about 80% and lifts his leg the rest of the time. I have them pee pad trained so when Oscar lifts his leg on the pad, it often doesn't end up on the pad. He does NOT mark around the house though and never has. As far as personality goes, it really depends on the dog - some say that males are more affectionate and females are more independant and aloof, but I find that both of mine are affectionate, and if anything, Ruthie is more so. It really all comes down to the personality of the puppy, so like someone else suggested, I would go by that when deciding if you really don't have a preference between girl/boy. Good luck! Whatever you decide will be the right choice and you won't regret it - boy or girl, you can't go wrong with a Yorkie! |

This is what the yorkies should look like: http://www.ytca.org/pictures.html Also, have you seen BOTH parents of these puppies? If not, tell them you want to see both parents. It is possible they aren't what they are said to be. |
i have never heard of an all black yorkie before. maybe it is a mix |
No idea what to tell you about the black yorkie. I'd definetly ask to see both mom & dad. As far as boy vs. girl, go with your instinct and whichever puppy has the personality you're looking for. They're all sweet little snugglebugs (90% of the time :p ) regardless of their gender!! |
Yes they all have papers. The dogs are kept in seperate pins so I don't think it could be a mix. He has said that some of his dogs throughout the years have had a little white on them but it faded as they got older. I probably won't be able to post pics until about 2 weeks but I will see. I just firmly believe they are full blood because he is family. I am gonna research it a bit more though. I will try and get some pics posted. |

Good luck I like my male because he trained easier. I like my female because she is a sweetie who loves to give kisses. :confused: for you though? Please tell me they are not in outside pins. |
Nope, they are kept inside. Not really pins, they are big fenced areas. By no means pins, guess I mispoke on that one...sorry. No, he takes care of them. I wouldnt get one unless I thought it was taken care of. |

Ahhhh so you didn't get one of the one's that was all black? I am so worried now. I guess I can research it some more and see what I can come up with. Like I said, he is family and I trust him. |
I have never seen an all-black yorkie, but I have seen black yorkie-poos. I'd ask to see the parents. Congratulations on your new baby! |
I saw the parents. The momma and daddy both have the markings. There are like 4 big fenced in yards (he has a lot of acreage), 3 have only yorkies and then one has two pomeranians. None of the dogs can get to the other yards. Thanks on the congrats....I can't wait to get her. I am gonna go ahead and go with the girl. My brother has a little yorkie, like 4-5 lbs, she is probably 4-5 yrs old and she is great around kiddos and is very affectionate. She is his little girl. He said he would never have kids that she was my mom's only grandchild from him. I loved her tempermant so much that is what made me want a yorkie. He told me to kiss her on the nose all the time when she is growing up so she won't be afraid to get close to people. Now my fiance's mother has a yorkie and she has snapped at my daugther a lot which really aggravates me because she doesn't do anything about it but that is another story. |

Nope all dogs are not kept outside...he has several buildings as well. I have a correction too on the age of the yorkies, they are 5 weeks right now. I guess that means they might have a better chance of developing the markings? |

Is the puppy totally black or is it bluish? It's not a blue-born, is it? |
No, there is no blue tint to it. Just the white hind paws. :animal36 |
i dont know if these are purebreed at 10 weeks they should have some kind of markings of tan. |

Well maybe they just look bigger to me in the picture...sorry, it is hard to judge size from a view like that unless you see them in person. I wasn't trying to be a smart elleck...the puppies do look that size, they are just now five weeks. I guess I meant to "clarify" that the ones I saw had just started being able to climb out of the little bed he has them in with the mamma. The 6 week old in the picture looks really spry. These are still really small. I did however, if you read my other posts make a mistake on the ages right now, I had been saying they were 10 weeks when in fact they are actually 5 weeks. That is why I was so confused by the pictures and the size. Take a look at that post again :) |
could we ask you who the breeder is ?maybe some people here have experiences info about them. |
Have never heard of an all black yorkie.Should be tan and black, maybe a off color like the reds chocolates and blues?? |
I have heard of the all black but have not seen one. They can also be born all gold with no black. I'd be 99.999% sure that they will never have the gold on them. I too would love to see pictures once you pick one! Preference on male/female is just a personal choice. Both sexes can be sweet and/or overly rambunctious (sp?). |
