Will the Coloring and Coat ever change??? 4 Attachment(s) I know there are so many people on here with years and years of experiance with the Yorkshire Terrier breed so Im hoping I can get some good answers... Anyway, Bailey is almost 8 months now and she still hasnt turned color. Shes Gold and Black I have noticed a FEW little greyish hairs comming up from the top of her head and a few on her chest but not many at all. Her coat is getting longer I would say its between 2 - 2 1/2 inches long on her back. I would say her coat is either cottony or silky. Bailey is my first yorkie so im not so sure how long the coat takes to change (i have heard it can take up to 2 years) but I see other dogs on here with the steel blue or tan coats and I keep wondering when bailey will look like that or if she ever will. Her parents were VERY silver however her grandparents never changed color (they are still black and gold) Does anyone have an idea of what my girl might look like? I would love to see pictures of some of your babies at around 6-9 mo and then how they look as an adult. I will put some pictures of her up so you can see what she looks like. |
1 Attachment(s) Bailey is so beautiful!!!...I'm one that prefers the dark coats so for me Bailey's color would be perfect...I don't know much about color change but I don't think she's going to lighten up much more.... This is Jake at close to 6m. & I don't expect him to lighten up a great deal more & I'm fine w/ it... |
I think Bailey is absolutely beautiful! That striking gold is something else...very rare to see in a yorkie. I don't really know anything about coat change, but I can tell you that mine is only 6 mos and he's already almost entirely gray-ish. I'm guessing she'll be darker forever, but I think she's gorgeous. Wanna trade?? Just kidding, I love mine, but her coloring is great IMO. |
Grayson changed at about 5 to 6 months and has changed yet again he has kept his grey coat but it has got lighter. Camelion he is! Maybe yours will stay the same either way what a beauty you have! |
My pup, Cash, is almost 5 months and his dark hair is growing out very quickly. His face is turning a very light silver and his body is turning a silver/grey color as well. I don't think your girl is going to change her coat, but she is gorgeous. :aimeeyork |
awwwwwww i love gold and black. it will probably not change. ohhhhh how cute. as you can see in my avatar, i have a gold/black |
What a cutie! They are ALL cuties. I just want to gather this whole thread next to me on the couch this morning. :) |
Sometimes they dont change. Were either of the parents black and gold? |
Bailey is gorgeous!!!!! My little girl, Hootie, has been black & gold up until recently. She's 14 months old now and is just now starting to show some grey on her back. My parent's yorkie is 8 years old and she is still changing colors. So, every yorkie is different. |
All Yorkies seem to be different! Buddy changed up until he was 3yrs. His back went from black to blonde with 2"black roots. His face, legs have remained golden blonde. He is cut down on his back and is all black but you can now see the blonde stating again on the edges. Strange. |
:) Uma is 9mo. now and the very dark grey that started coming in 1-2 mo. ago is coming in faster. I think she will be very dark grey, almost charcoal, and a very rich gold. I think. |
Kona and Bailey look very similar. Kona is a year and almost 4 months and she is still black and gold. I love her darker colors. I remember saying to my bf when we got her that I hoped her colors stayed dark, and I think they will!! She also has some grey hairs here and there, but not many. |

Also, no one has addressed coat length yet. Is there a way to know how long her hair should grow to? |

I love the long coat, but I hear that some dogs can never reach floor length. |
JoJo is almost one year and is black and tan. His breeder told me his color would not change. I read something about the texture of the coat and color change. If it is a certain thickness and light can not refract (something like that) it won't change. JoJo has a soft coat with a slight wave and it is thicker than Gucci's who is now all silver at 9 months and all of his black has grown out. Gucci also has a thinner, silkier coat. |
She's so cute! She looks so tiny and sweet! |
LOVE her coloring! Is she quite small? I ask bc Marcel (avatar) is very small and he is developing MUCH slower than others. So, your baby's coat may change later than others if she is a "tiny". |

Bailey is so pretty! I think she will stay dark which is gorgeous! |
She is a beauty I know that did not answer any questions, but I had to let you know--I think she is gorgeous. My girl Emmy is lighter now, but still has a lot of black on her back. My boy Oscar is more the same like yours--the black and DARK golden/reddish. He is a pretty boy! My daughter also has two yorkies--one of hers is mainly the golden colors with grayish hairs; the girl is mainly still the black with tan face. No matter what colors, YORKIES are BEAUTIFUL DOGS!!!:D :D :D |
She is absolutely gorgeous! I wouldn't want to change her color for anything!!! :) |
1 Attachment(s) Bailey is adorable!! I wouldn't worry about the color. She's a cutie no matter what color she ends up. From what Ive seen, Yorkies can range from black and tan to ending up very light almost blonde so you never know. I heard they change colors after 1 year. Izzy is a mixture of tan, white & grey on his head. His paws and chest are tan but his body is still black with a few strands of grey and he is 10 months. |
