| Yorkie Standard - Proper Color Of Gold/Tan I know there has been several discussions of what is the proper color of steel blue and I think I know what to look for there. I would love to get some input on what is the proper color of gold we should be striving for. The following is taken from the Yorkshire Terrier AKC Standard: Quote:

| I love Connor's gold, it is rich and bright at the same time. It is shaded and the same tone on his paws as well as his feet and legs. Denali's gold is more like a tan in my opinion. It's darker, not as bright and not as shaded. It makes a beautiful contrast to her very deep blue though. Carly is the light one. Her gold around the muzzle is nice but doesn't extend to the rest of her face which is more of a platnium blond.

| Tami, thank you for posting those pictures. I have to agree with you in your evaluation. I love Connors gold too. To me that is more like what I have been told, the wedding ring gold. I am still learning and I know in breeding it is not always easy to achieve the perfect color. To me both types are beautiful. At what age did Connor complete clear? |

| Connor cleared early, at about a year old. I was afraid that he was going to be light. His sire is out of a Crystal Water's bitch and they run on the lighter side. Here's a pic of him at 11 months. You can see that he is almost clear at that point.

| Does anyone know where to go to subscribe to the Yorkie Club Magazine? Is that the best one to get? I can't believe I don't already take it but I am definitely going to. |

| Isn't growing coat the biggest pain in the butt!!? I think you should put him in. He'll get practice and exposure and you may be surprised at how well he does, he's such a pretty boy.
