It is really hard for me to tell.
I know that Shelby & Seymours colors are very similar to eachother, but Seymour is a bit darker. They are considered "Black & Gold" (Seymour) and Blue & Tan (Shelby).

Her parents Dad Black and gold, mom blue and tan..... I gues shes a mix?? She is smaller than both parents but shaped and lokks more like dad. I wonder if she will continue changing?

Bella's color IS very beautiful!!

I had the same dilemma, Jake is dark but when I look at his coloring I don't see gold or tan it looks almost coppery to me... I don't know what to call him...

She's got an EXTREME head tilt workin in that second picture. Bella is Bellisimo!! I just wanna kiss on her! To answer your question from your PM, I only have 2 babies, Otis and Oliver. Yorkie and ShihTzu/poodle (I call Oliver a Shidder doodle! HA!) The first pic is Otis's entry into the extreme head tilt championship of the world. Bella is stiff competition. Second pic is Oliver. I need some better pics of him, poor baby.

Yeah...Ill think of some fancy name and make her sound all exotic...lol how about

She is a Auburn ginger gold tip, with natural butterscotch champagne highlights......very rare, and very prestigious...lmao

Oh well, sounds good anyway...

Here is a good description of the colors for Yorkshire Terriers: http://ytca.org/education2.html

Your beautiful Bella may be a little on the dark golden tan side, leaning to ginger but she may still lighten. Females (especially those that are bred) often continue to lighten as they age -- both on the blue/black areas and the tan/gold.

When asked what color she is -- I'd answer either Blue and Gold or Black and Gold -- I can't see her dark areas well enough to tell. You could add that she does have a rich hue and you hope she keeps it as she ages. She truly is a beauty!

Thank you! ..I just love his color too...he's six months...

Sorry, I can't help with the official AKC color, but in my books she is the color "beautiful".

[ARCHIE]

I call the color copper. I know it's not a listed color in their coloring but
that's what I call it. Buddy's hair on his head is the same color. It's a rich
golden blonde however blonde just dosen't really do it for me.
I like copper
She is beautiful by the way.

very cute face...hard to see the pictures for the coloring

[xxmxaxrxyxx]

she has the deep golden tan i am looking for in a male...kekek..

[lizziepooh_1]

I agree with the colour copper. I'm not sure if that is the official name for it (or even if the AKC has a name for it). what a beauty!

Thank you for your pst about Bella!!!
Acoording to the site you posted they say it shouldnt be a "setter red" like an Irish Setter! Hers is! lol I dont care at all she is not for show just my lil baby

The QUALITY of gold on the ideal Yorkie can be likened to a NEW GOLD
COIN. It bears no semblance to a rust, ginger or brownish mahogany hue.
It does not appear to be a solid, unshaded orangey red nor the red of an Irish
setter (setter red). Yorkies carrying a woolly or cottony black coat usually
carry a pale, weak unshaded tan and are referred to as a “black and tan”
(Yorkie).

CORRECT SKULL SHAPE
ALMOND SHAPED EYES
SMALL PRICK EARS
GOOD EAR SET

I think she flunks the small prick ear test too lol shes my bat girl!!!
