Any guess on what color she would be :when she becomes adult. I tried to read articles on how would you know from their puppy coat, what color would they be when they becomes adult, but I could not undestand them at all.

What an absolutely lovely little girl!! Can I have her? LOL!

Hi there, what does Bella look like now? Did her black facial hair turn silver?

you little girl is darling and she has lightened up. Some yorkies faces never complete clear. By that I mean some never lighten up and grow their dark hair out. That is often why show breeders hold on to pups and then wind up selling them a little later, between say 6 months and 1 year it's because they are waiting and hoping the face turns a golden blond. If you have a lot of dark strands on the head they will often refer to it as a sooty head. If most of the roots are lighter that is a good indication that the face and head will clear. Colors can often vary, some yorkies face and head will even turn a white platinum blond or more reddish blond. Some people have a preference but to show your dogs head and face needs to be free of any dark strands, but since very few of us show then who cares, best to have a happy healthy pup.

LOL no I did not but good catch

She is a lovely little darling for sure! I don't remember exactly how old Gracie was when she started to show lighter roots but she was still a pup I'm sure. Maybe 6 months or there about.

Bella doesn't show any sign of her face changing color from the look of your pictures. I don't think I would want her to change a bit if I were you either. She is beautiful!

[gloriajean]

the pics I've seen of yorkies from Hunguary are all very dark colored. even the champions

[navillusc]

She is very cute. I have seen some dark ones, and her coat 'may' stay darker, but their coat can take up to 3 or so years to mature. I know Brody's coat changed for several years. His face was very light platinum blond, then you could see darker golden tan coming in, then, where his hair behind his nose was very light, got darker again. You may need to wait a while to see what colors she will end up being, but whatever...she will always be a little doll!
