| About Yorkie looks..... Do all Yorkie puppies mature to look like one, or both, of their parents or are there throw backs to distant relatives? I saw both of Riley's parents but now that he's an adult (1 1/2) he doesn't look like either of them. Hmmm..... His parents were both standard Yorkie blue and tan but Riley is tan on his face and some on his legs, silver/black on his back, very, very light silver on his head and the back of his ears are black. I don't think I've ever seen a Yorkie with this coloring before. Will he still change in color even though he's 1 1/2? |

| genes Canine genes are no different then human genes..some children look like their parents others do not....it has been a long time since I have had a puppy who did not take after a parent, but alot has to do with the line..linebreeding, breeding type to type, etc... |

| That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. I don't know how the breeder handled her lines so I don't know about that part. I guess his coloring is 'normal' except for the black ears...I know it's not 'standard' but he's pretty! |

| I imagine they are all different on that. Chachi and Jewels both look like their mothers
