Where can I find examples of the standard Yorkie colors: Black & Tan, Blue & Gold, Blue & Tan, and Black & Gold? I've read about these colors but have never seen a picture of what each looks like.

I got my first Yorkie last week.

Her momma is black & tan or gold(?) and her daddy is almost all silver. Is this any indication what my puppy will look like when full grown?

Also, the momma is 5 lbs and the daddy is 4 lbs. Again, is it likely my puppy be in this range?

I'm so excited to see her colors change as she grows. She has slick hair right now, but I'm wondering if she will get fluffy as she gets older?

So many questions. ha It will be interesting to watch her grow.

Congrats on your new baby! Your pup will probably stay within the same weight range as her parents, but who knows. Sometimes they stay a bit smaller and sometimes they get a little bigger, but for the most part she will probably stay in the same range. It was so much fun watching my yorkie's hair grow and change colors. It was really cute because he had a light gold area on the top of his head and he had black tips on the ends from where his hair was growing out. It was the cutest.

This was Sammi at 14 weeks old...She was very very dark...Her mom was 8 lbs (blue and gold) and her dad was 3lb (black and tan)...Sammi is now 17 months old and 8-9lbs

XOXOXO

I don't have any photos posted here, but if you go into ********* and look under albums, under millies boys, you will see that my boys at 15 months are still primarily black and tan with some silver on head and face, I like the black and tan, Benni looks like he is getting some silver in on his undercoat, but they could be rainbow colored, and I could nto love them anymore than I do.
