| Copper is so so dark, like his mom but his mother's hair was very cottony his is more soft and shiny not silky and shiny. He has an orange glow and I would call him a modified silk texture definately not a true silk. They are so beautiful in my opinion, but not appropriate for the ring. It is hard to find a good breeder that is breeding off of standard on purpose, like for the darker ones. I had thought that I found a really good one, but just found out that Copper is liver compromised. Good luck in your search, please do lots of research on the dog you get, esp. if you want to breed it.

| IS this what you mean? My Kikki Mei is black an Gold.. she has a sily coat.. Everyone plus my groomer can't believe how nice her coat is. So far she has been pretty easy to care for..I brush her every day. She loves it.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | My Tatum's hair is very dark (black) and she has a Silk Coat. The first picture was taken back when she was still a puppy, so the ends look a little "frazzled" but that is just her puppy hair which was still growing out

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Brooke, those pics are gorgeous! Another thing people must consider is that most yorkies will change their coat coloring up to 2 years of age...and some even up to 3 years. Coat shine is another factor. Are their coats shiny to the eye or are they dull. Silk will shine while cotton is quite dull.

| We just adopted a girl that might be the color you are looking for. Her name is Gypsy and she is really dark copper red and black. In the dark she even glows almost purple. She is so beautiful and a true silk coat. Her daughter Eve is black and gold though... In the second pic she is the one on the little boys lap and her daughter is the one in my friends arm...

P.S. - I hear ya about the shine on the coats. Tatum's is super shiny but my mom's Yorkie, Kenzi, has a Cotton Coat (or it COULD be modified...) and it isn't shiny like Tate's is but Kenzi is sooooo soft - just like you described it, it feels like rabbits fur! I actually love it and she looks absolutely DARLING kept in a puppy cut!

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I don't remeber. He is almost 2 but looks exactly the smae except I cut him bangs. Jazzy's coat is easier to take care of than my girl that is a silk coat. It grows thicker but never matts. He has a great coat.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Makes Sense, Cooper is black and tan, and he is cottony. Baxter has more red/gold in his coat, and he is very silky, nevery tangled. Both are very soft. Pet Silk can't be beat! |

| My Matty Lu is very, very dark, but silky. She is just starting to break now and she'll be one next month. I don't think she will get very light though. This cotton/silky coat type has always confused me. I do like the darker Yorkies though.

| Keoki is black and red with a BEAUTIFUL long coat. I actually chose his breeder because I was looking for a darker yorkie. If you would like the name of the breeder pm me |

| I often wonder what comments people got when they started breeding down the size of yorkies?? After all they were always much larger when the breed first started. I'll never understand why people have to be mean! |
