I wish there was a magic calculation of determing their coats. But Yorkies are just full of suprises, aren't they?

And after our first grooming, the color really seemed different. It'll be really fun to see how she looks after her grooming!!

Just for clarification, when I use the word "soft" I don't mean cottony. If I meant "cottony", I'd say cottony.

By soft I meant not silky, but soft, not w/ a lot of undercoating and perhaps wavy.

Just a guess.

She's pretty either way, now I can't wait to see what her coat looks like in due time.

I know there are a lot of people on this site with years of experience with yorkies...and that's great b/c I have none! I just got this yorkie 6 weeks ago and I love her to pieces. Everyone keeps telling me that she is, "so dark," and I am wondering if anyone can offer an opinion as to how much she will lighten up/ what color she will be as an adult. I was told by the breeder that her parents were both black and gold. I love her dark, but I will love her any way she is. I am just curious. The first picture of Lily is at 9 weeks and the one in the T shirt is at 15 weeks right after she got groomed. Her head sees to be lightening a tiny bit, but her back color hasn't changed.

her face has those white roots from what it looks like

skoshi looked like he had like thin hair on his head but if you looked real close it was white roots and it blended in with his scalp so it looked funny. but i knew his face would be light.

i think your pups face will be light too

Lily42807-

I'd say Blue and Tan

Lily42807 · 08-14-2007, 09:16 PM

Ya know i saw what looked like white or really really light blonde on her scalp, but her face doesn't have any of those hairs. She was just shaved at the groomer 2 days ago so the pic is a little misleading over the bridge of her nose . Her back is super black though, and so is the skin below it. This pic is from a week ago. I am secretly hoping she stays on the dark side. Also do you know any way to approximate adult weight? Here dad was 3.3lbs and her mom was a hair under 5lbs. She was 1.9lbs at her 9 week appt and 2.2 at her 3 month (but they said some of it might have been her hair b/c it was super long hahah).

yorkieK9trainer · 08-15-2007, 07:51 PM

Another guess? I'd say her weight is going to be closer to her mother's weight.

"Just the perfect size"!

imo

Sonja, thanks for the link.

Isn't it odd and yet fun to read? Makes sense!

Yorkiekids · 08-23-2007, 03:35 AM

Now that I look again I think she's a tan and black, but looks like she'll turn silver. Just what I think.

sallen15 · 08-23-2007, 04:08 AM

wow usually my posts never stay alive very long I was shocked to see this up on the front page this morning haha.

Anyway here is an updated picture of Lucy, she had to be shaved

so all of her cute little black puppy fur is all gone, and she's gaining weight like crazy, I think she had a growth spurt because she gained a little less than a pound in 2.5 weeks

She now weighs about 4.5 pounds at 21 weeks, I think i might have a teapot on my hands, which is just fine with me because I love Lucy no matter how big she is!

Anyway here are some of the pictures of Lucy after she had to be shaved. Still can't tell what kind of coat, her fur around her face seems silkier like my dog max who has a silky coat but her body I just can't tell I think it could be between the two silky and cottony, but I don't know.

yorkieK9trainer · 08-23-2007, 07:26 PM

Whatever her size, I can tell you that the weight you have her at now is PERFECT on that frame of hers!
Keep up the good work momma!

were you referring to my post or to the OP? just curious haha. I'm a little worried she's getting too fat...but I can still feel her ribs and stuff so I don't know.

yorkieK9trainer · 08-24-2007, 05:19 PM
