they are really cute

Sweetness overload!!! :love:

Oh he is just too cute!! Love the color!!

I just took a some new photos:D

Wow I have never seen a white yorkie. How are all these other colors coming from black/blue and tan lines? Was something mixed in or? Also, how do you register these colors? I mean it only gives black/blue and tan/gold variations. So what color do you register them as as far as color goes? I hope I am making sense..LOL

I also went to your web site and your dogs are indeed gorgeous. I still prefer the blue/tan, but the parties are pretty too. :thumbup:

I didn't care for the all white ones until you showed Mouse. His coat looks more like a very light silvery white and is sooo silky looking. He is indeed gorgeous!

The colors are coming out when two dogs happen to get mated that carry recessive genes from way back in the yorkie make up. They are happening more and more now because people are actively breeding the off color dogs rather than destroying them at birth.

If you go to the AKC site they give information on registering off color pups. What you do is take two photos, one front view standing and one side view standing(I always include a top view also). You send in the registration without a color selected and write attention color specialist (or Tina Yuhl) under the address on your envelope. The AKC color specialist looks at the photos and decides the color of the dog.

Some colors like tan or Chocolate will actually show up in your choices if you register online and the parents of the dog were off color as well. Parti does not show up in the online system yet.

Mouse's coat is really fine and straight like a perfect yorkie should be. It is one of the softest and shiniest coats on any dog I have.:D

I finally got him to sit for me and not move.

Awwww, he is so adorable!!

congrats!
 

wow...beautiful

Little girl 1-31-2010:D

Girl update:p

Group Picture time

so cute keep those pics coming

wow your babies are sooo pretty! I wanted another yorkie but now I want a white one! I'm going to definitely be keeping an eye on your website!!!

End of March and all through April We are going to be very Busy over here, so check around then.:D

Have you done any health study on what happens as these dogs become whiter and whiter? It is also a sign of to much inbreeding and why they stopped trying for white yorkies after the turn of the century. You might want to pickup Genetics of the dog by Malcom B. Willis.

Hmmm, funny because these are the result of breeding dogs that are about as far apart genetically as you can get. You are repeating the same thing all the people against parti's say without anything to back them up. The never tried to breed white yorkies untill recently and they killed them as well as any other off color yorkie when they got them.

If you study the yorkie breeding practices of show breeders you will see that they have done extensive inbreeding in the traditional colors. Inbreeding was done to reduce the size of the offspring. Anytime you inbreed you are doubling the recessive genes. If one dog carries the the gene for gold and you breed it back to it's own offspring you might produce gold offspring. If you do the same with a dog carrying the gene for white you might produce white pups.

On the negative side if you have a dog carrying a gene for a defect and you inbreed you produce the defect. This is true for all colors of Yorkies.

I am fully aware as I have been very involved with the Biewers but do not think all breeders do extensive inbreeding...do your homework as inbreeding was not done to reduce the size of the dogs -wherever did you get this from? Liver Shunt is also a product of inbreeding..you also need to review your pedigree's to see how far removed are your dogs from each other.

Eventually the litters will get smaller and smaller until you will not have any more puppies if you continue to do this and not bring in new blood.

Ok, you obviously did not read what I wrote. I said show breeders of traditional colors do alot of inbreeding. I personally spent hundred of hours going over pedigrees to find dogs that were not closely related. To date I have never produced a yorkie that is close to all white by inbreeding two parti's. In fact every dog that I have got that was mostly white came from a traditional color mom.

All of my dogs live in my house and are treated as members of my family.

One more note for you. I see from your posts you seem to be against all breeding of dogs. This is a picture forum and is not the place for this discussion and not the place for you to attack me or anyone else who raises Yorkies that are non-standard colors.

I have never stated I am against breeding...NEVER! If I was against breeding I never would be on a Biewer Club board. I just want breeders to do their research and study health issues with these dogs. Just reading pedigree's does not answer your questions. Plus we have a number of show breeders on this site that do not do inbreeding.

I have not attacked you but asked a question because your puppies are so white. If you study about the piebald recessive gene then you see there is a concern in the genetics world about these litters getting smaller and smaller...and the need to bring in new blood.

Two of the three litters that produced these white pups had 5 puppies in them. The average litter is usually 3. It would seem the litters are getting larger. Research I have done suggests that they felt there was no need to breed white yorkies because there was already a white toy breed, the west Highland White Terrier.

Let me quote you, "Eventually the litters will get smaller and smaller until you will not have any more puppies if you continue to do this and not bring in new blood"

In that quote you are saying that if I continue to inbreed. Since I don't inbreed and you are accusing me of it I do take that as personally attacking me. Now, if you had said that breeders who do this have smaller litters that would not have been a personal attack on me.

I have not attacked you...and I have suggested you pick up "Genetics of the Dog"...

I am done...good luck with your breeding program.

White is a color Gene. The Gene for white does not in itself cause defects. If this was the case using your information then all Westies, Maltese, and many other white breeds would have severe genetic problems, which they do not. This book does sound like an interesting read, but there are many other sources of information to consider as well.

I have never seen an all white Yorkie before. How do you register them?

Here is what AKC says on their website about determining the color and registering non-standard color dogs.

Can you help me determine what color my dog is?

There are two options. You can send scanned pictures of the dog and a scanned copy of the dog registration application for the dog in question attached to e-mail to awards@akc.org. Please allow several business days for a response. At least two 3 x 5 color photographs, providing close-up front and side views of the dog in a standing position, are required. If you do not have access to a scanner, you can also send the pictures and a photocopy of the application to our Special Services department by regular US mail to:

American Kennel Club
Attn: Special Services
8051 Arco Corporate Drive, Suite 100
Raleigh, NC 27617-3390

Please allow three to four weeks for handling and be sure to include a return address, phone number and/or e-mail address so they may give you their determination of the color of the dog.

Please note that it may be difficult to determine the color from a digital image and you may be requested to send the photographs by mail. If you have specific questions about the possible colors of a breed, you can contact a representative of our Special Services Department. You can contact the American Kennel Club’s Special Services Department from 8:30am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, Eastern Time at (919) 233-9767. You can also address e-mail to awards@akc.org.

Please note that the registry of the American Kennel Club is based on parentage and not the coat color of a member of any breed. However, coat color can sometime alert us to an error in the breeding of a particular litter.

The American Kennel Club’s policy is to review any litter that contains a member that possess a non-standard coat color for it’s breed.
