Thanks! He is a cutie, but not to standard and so not worthy IMHO to breed with. So he is our pet and loves it. He was a great baby for our kids when they were in high school. His coat is a nighmare! As you can see in the photos I tried to save some of his coat, but with it matting in different areas - they had to get cut out. I even tried oiling it and that did not work well. So best it is trimed to a puppy coat. I would rather have a great silky coat any day!!

Any way you put it he's a beauty! Yorkies are such babies and love being spoiled! I'm sure he's loving his life wheather he's a breeder or just lounging about. Give him hugs and kisses for me!!

Oh, I totally agree....he is a real beauty!! I am so in love with the darker colors too!! They are all so very precious in their own way, I think it's like everything in life....that goodness for choice and variety!! ALL are precious little darlings!!

I loveeee the darker colors. Sophie was dark, and she had these 2 blonde highlights on her head..it was the cutest thing. Teddy and London are both silvery and tan/blonde

Also wanted to mention this:
Don't go by the registration papers on color or the pedigrees of listed colors, since most of the time people (novice) will mark color as black and tan due to color of the pups. As you know they change color as they grow.

RemydeHaviland · 12-27-2009, 08:49 AM

Remy is 16 months and still predominantly black and tan, he has been dark since he was a pup, you can see his pix in my profile. His head is now very blonde, it changed in the last 6 months. Definitely a silky coat, no matting, requires minimal brushing and now that he is on raw it has a terrific shine

His body is beginning to show signs it may break, he has some silver / gray / blue that is sloooowly starting to show. I think he may be a late bloomer

Have to admit, he was not from a quality breeder. He is a great pet but I have no expectation of him matching the standard, we'll see what he looks like in another year or so!

Perrella · 12-27-2009, 01:24 PM

Oh, Remy is such a little sweetheart and Sophie is her ususal...gorgeous Sophie!!

I am pretty sure Bentley will stay the black and tan. He is such a cutie and I love his colors though. I get so many compliments on how adorable he is....standard or not.

Perrella · 12-27-2009, 02:22 PM

Bentley IS truely adorable...just gorgeous colors!

ArmaniMan · 12-27-2009, 02:55 PM

Both of mine are still black and tan... one is 2.5 years old and one is 9 months old... I am pretty sure they will both stay dark... the ones from their litters that broke to the silver coat did so pretty early on.

Very unique! Haven't ever seen Yorkies this color. Live a sheltered life, I guess.

I am pretty sure that your girl if given more time, will break blue. That is good, since you want her to break later and hold her color better, especially since she is a girl.
