| A wonderful show breeder/exhibitor mentioned to me that boys tend to hold the color more than boys.........I am not sure if size has anything to do with it. Either way, your Kona is just so precious

| Kona's colouring is very much like Tia's. The pic in the avatar is Tia when she was 9 weeks old. She is now over 4 months and her colouring hasn't changed except that the roots on the top of her head are ashy grey, and she has a few stray greys on her back. Lots of people comment on how they hope she stays dark. My husband and I chose her because of her dark colouring. It would be neat to see if she changes, and what to...but we love her no matter how she looks!

They're all different. That is one of the attractions of the yorkie, they aren't all cookie cutter copies. | |

| winston is still pretty dark, black and gold, and he's 3 years old and not a tiny yorkie, about 7.5 lbs. but when we were looking for a yorkie, we really wanted one that would stay dark, of course it's not the standard, it's just what i like, but you know what, i would still love him even if he turned out purple... |

| I ordered a copy of Annie's pedigree from AKC. She has stayed very dark and I found both colors in her parents and grandparents. I love the black and tan with some gold in her whiskers. I keep her with a "puppy cut" and she's adorable. I leave the long fur on her sides and legs. From what I can find out the colors come from the breeding, not necessarily from being male or female. Annie's mother was 6 lbs and her father about 4 lbs, but she has grown to 11 lbs and she's not fat, but she's very strong and muscular. There must have been a large ancestor back there somewhere in that pedigree!!!! We are kinda glad she's larger, not so delicate that way !! We love her no matter what. |

| Ginger is close to her 2nd birthday and is still black and gold. I know it's not the breed standard but I love it! I think she's so cute.

| Max will be a year old on the 16th and he's still black and gold. He has some gray on the top of his head and his legs and feet are gold. I think he's beautiful. (But I am his Mommy). Judy |

| I have two yorkies who are brother and sister and both the exact same size weighing in at 3lbs even. One is blue and gold and the other is black and tan. I don't think it has anything to do with their size...it has to do with their genes. I know the mother of my two was black and tan and their dad was blue and gold. |
