| Maybe Reece isnt a yorkie?? Or maybe I was lied to? Reece's parents weren't reg. or anything, just your typical looking yorkies. I have a picture of his dad but never got a picture of his mom..even though she looked similar to the dad...like a yorkie. The only reason I took a picture of his daddy is because my daughter emily could not put him down, so I will attach a picture of his dad. Reece looks like a yorkie BUT if I were to shave him down and let his hair grow back in, there would NOT be ANY black on him left. His hair is totally blonde underneath and the tips of his fur is the only spot thats black, so if that were cut he would be a blondie??? He must not be a pure yorkie right?? I know he LOOKS just like a yorkie feature wise and colour wise right NOW..what do you all think?? The first pics is Daddy and the second one kinda shows what Reece's hair looks like..his top line is totally blonde..about a half and inch has grown in.. |

| He is adorable. Both dad and baby. I think he looks all Yorkie to me. I've noticed that Yorkies vary so much in look. Elaine |

| Look closely at Chester in my avatar. He was completely blonde/silver (of course, he was about 16 years old in this photo) and he was definitely Yorkie. I happen to love the blonde ones. |

| My Question is.... With some of the larger Yorkies, how can you be sure they are not Silky Terriers? Thanks, Teri

| He looks like a yorkie but even if by crazy coincidence he isn't, he's still really really cute |

| Wow, his daddy was a big Yorkie. I do not know if Reece is all yorkie or not; but, it may just be too early to tell about the color of his coat. The AKC standard says: "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. "

| I must say I am baffled by this thread ... you all have beautiful Yorkies ... they are all so cute and cuddly love muffins ... we all love our babies ... why is everyone (well, maybe not everyone) trying to pigeon hole the pups? I, for one, got my furbaby b/c she was cute (IMHO), and I fell in love with her ... okay her ears are floppy, who cares? You notice when you give birth to your own child, when you go to the nursery you do NOT get to pick which one you want, you already know and love "your" baby .... Why don't we all agree to disagree (how trite is that?) I never heard the expression "red leg" before, and truthfully, I was looking for legs that were RED .... I am not a maven on Yorkies, I just know what I love. Peace, Debbie

| I am no expert, but I would definately have to say that yours is a yorkie. I know with mine, he had a lot more black on him before I gave him his first hair cut. It seemed wierd to me that I was cutting off all this dark hair, and the rest was more silver/blue and golden. I have never owned a yorkie before, so I didn't realize that they would "change colour." I don't think you have anything to worry about. I would never have questioned it, had I seen a picture of him without your post. |
