what do you think of a chocolate yorkie? The pet store who also breeds yorkie is very excited that he will have a chocolate yorkie which he claims to be very rare, I am looking for a second yorkie for my tanner to have a playmate, but I am not sure I would want and I never heard of a chocolate yorkie!!! what do everyone think? |
I think they're gorgeous! Either way, all yorkies, light or dark are beautiful! If you do decide to get a chocolate yorkie, please post pics...we'd love to admire the beauty! :) |
I also think they are gorgeous but don't be fooled by paying more because he says they are 'rare'. They should be the same price or less. |
The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America is the parent club for the Yorkie in the US. This page is on their website about colour. http://www.ytca.org/faq.html#B |
"Rare" they aren't. so don't be fooled by this advertising ploy. In fact, there are some that say it is a genetic defect. i don't really know because I never was interested enough in one to find out. just wanted to warn you to not be fooled. |

A chocolate yorkie is a color fault. Of course that doesn't make them any less cute and still make great pets. Please don't buy one from a petstore though... |
chocolate yorkie I wish people would quit ruining the beautiful Yorkie breed by continuing to breed "rare" chocolate, pie-bald, parti, etc colors. These are color faults and the parents that produce them as well as the off-spring should be spayed and neutered. I think the chocolate is one of the ugliest colors as the beautiful expression is lost with the pink eye rims and pink nose and amber eyes. this is just my opinion and I know that these puppies are just as loving and wonderful pets. Its just amazing what people will keep producing with the only goal being the big dollar. So please dont fall for the "rare" color and pay the "rare" price for it. Just a thought, Lynn |

Amen...I'm with you, it amazes me all these people that profess to love the yorkie breed and then can't wait to change it for the $$$$$$ |
I love chocolate yorkies, they are soooo cute. It is hard to find them because it is a genetic fault that doesn't happen often, I think. I would like to have one some day. I would not buy from a pet store though. |
Don't let anyone tell you that they are "rare" and, therefore, they cost more. They actually should cost less because I read where their coloring is a genetic defect. Also, I wouldn't buy from a pet store. |
You are not going to buy from a PET STORE are you? Please don't. |
They are gorgeous, but not rare, and not worth any more than any standard colored yorkie. I wouldn't buy any dog at a petstore, or support a petstore that sells them... |
Please Don't Buy From A Pet Store. |
Please, Please, Please do NOT buy any puppy from a pet store :( |
Good Luck! I'm going to have to stay out of this one as a few have made some BIG statments and some pretty opinionated ones about this subject. Maybe not realizing they have hurt others feelings or they just dont care. What do I think of a chocolate yorkie?? I think they deserve just as much love as any other Yorkie But you should not have to pay a lot more. Yes they are said to be a defect in genes. Ask yourself this...If your child had a defect would you not consider them your child?? If you like the Chocolate Yorkie, then you get yourself one. Have an open heart and an open mind. :D I hope all works out for you and if you do go with the chocolate or any other Yorkie for that matter please post pics! we love pics! |

I have to agree with you on this.....every type of yorkie deserves to be loved and are perfect no matter what they look like. Each and everyone of them is unique and look very different. God bless them all! |

Oh I dont mean people necessarily in this thread I mean in general. And Im speaking more of Parti/Biewer issues...I just have to stay out of it as it's best. The question by the original poster was what do you think of a chocolate yorkie and I still say they are gorgeous loving babies, dont pay more, or fall for the rare bit, and don't support puppy mills. I do feel if people are breeding to try and get a chocolate yes thats questionable. I'll say this...I cannot look at a dog like Livi (TammyJM's) and say she is destroying the breed. I just dont see it like that. I've said enough and I get angry when I think abut certain things that have been said and PM'ed to me in here about breeding. I spent a few days crying and I won't go there again. I do not mean anything towards anyone in this thread.... |
Run fer the hills and take yer youngins' theres a storm a commin" !!!! |
I think chocolates are adorable. I dont think breeders should breed for them or charge rare prices for them however. They are cute little yorkies that need a good home too and I dont think there is anything wrong with buying one |
i love chocolate yorkies and would buy one but not for more money than a reg. yorkie and i wouldnt buy from a pet store. I dont think people should stop breeding them because they are beautiful but i dont think they should be used to make more money. |
1 Attachment(s) All i have to say is i think they are BEAUTIFUL even if they are a genetic defect or whatever. London was born chocolate, with the light colored nose, the hazel eyes and brown hair and i wouldn't change her for a thing! However her color did change a bit, now she's blonde and dark brown. |
Stormy days Quote:
LMAO I'm a runnin rite now.....think the net will work out there? LoL Could you grab some doritos on ur way I got the pepsi!!!!! Im over it. I guess this thread just triggered some bad memories...my fault and like I said I'd rather join ya in the hills than weather a storm. Sorry OP this is off topic and I wanna tell ya again go for it as long as the price is right and you feel at peace. Have you used the search tool in the upper right hand area? VERY helpful tool and will show you all posts with the word chocolate in it. Very informative and may answer some of your questions too! :D |

All I'm going to say is not to buy from a petstore...Their puppies come from puppymills. Google the word "puppymills" and you will see why we are so against buying from a petstore...No ethical and reputable breeder would sell their innocent little puppies to a petstore to live in cages until they are sold... As far as chocolate, don't fall into the trap of paying more for a rare yorkie. I think all yorkies, chocolate, biewer, whatever coloring are adorable and deserve good, loving homes, but don't give money to petstores...But as far as being adorable, they are very cute! |

I don't care what color they are, I'd buy a PINK yorkie if I seen one lol |
please don't buy any dog from a pet store. If a chocolate is what you want please do some research. You'll learn that some breeders will up the price on these guys saying they are 'rare' but its just a sales pitch (along the same lines as teacups). This color anomaly should in fact be less money because they are not breed standard. |
don't support puppy mills .... |
