| Dramatic coat changes at 1 year old Tinkerbell will be one year old next month. I was beginning to think she was finally going to settle into the color she currently was but I was wrong. Her back has been turning different colors constantly, making me think one month she was going to be darker colored after all, to the next month seeing it become light again. The variations of dark and light making her looked striped has been interesting. Well now at her roots I see a VERY light color coming in, like almost white. AND I got very worried today after her bath when I saw RED all around both her ears, after inspection I realized this is new hair coming in a very bright red. (It actually looked like blood when it was wet) I tried to take some pics, not sure if you can really tell. But I thought I would share them, I am so in awe at the changes. Also around her eyes I see this same bright red color starting to come in. Maybe she will be a redhead after all these changes. The next few months will be interesting to watch. |

| I know it is so fun to watch them change. My dogs backs are black with white roots that are getting kinda long.

| I love it the way Yorkies change colors. I have pictures of Gucci that she looks like a completely different dog. Sometimes she looks light and other times her hair looks darker. I love her gold color. |

| At what age do they stop looking so much like a puppy (which is adorable) and more like an adult yorkie? (which is even more adorable?) My babies are still young...almost 6 months and almost 5 months...but they are both changing colors on their heads...and their front legs...but pretty much still dark everywhere else

Mollie is exactly that same color. She will be 2 on Jan 8. I don't know how much you will be able to tell about her coat in these pictures.

| Wow, thanks for the photos. I thought they gradually turn from black to blue. Not black, grey, blue, silver, dark blue, silver..... LOL That red is what really threw me this morning. I had really thought she was going to stay a light blond. |

| Tinkerbell is such a pretty girl. I think it's almost magical at how their coat changes. It just continues to get prettier and prettier.
