I had Scruffs on and off for a few months, but when he was 12 months he was pure black. Then I had him for a few months, got him a haircut, and wallah! He was silver. His old mom didn't even recognize him. He was bright bright silver, then he turned black again. Now he is silver with a few pure black spots. What a weirdo! I think she is going to change too. At about 18 months he was all black again, and now at two years he is both. I wonder when he'll stop changing!

Here is my girl when she was younger. She is blue now. The last photo is of my Knight. Many pups may look like they will stay black and tan and then they get older and they break. That is why yorkie breeders cannot guarantee that any yorkie, especially a pup, will stay black until it is around 3 years.

I have seen yorkies get haircuts and they do go back and forth as their coat grows, or if they rub off a patch of hair it grows back black. I have seen a patch grow back bronze too, where the blue should be on a few yorkies.

Do you have any pictures of in between the time her head was black then turned. What color did it go to after the black. I have a boy that has the same color. He is now over a 1year old and turning a grey color. The breeder told me that her line didn't break color until after 2 years and she felt he would turn. I have been told by others he would not turn that late. I will try to get a picture of his head today to show you.

Here is one more of her taken this month and you can see her blue color - Nice and deep, but not black. Also close up of her face - see nice rich gold.

Hi I just noticed your post for black and tan yorkie's. Its funny years ago when I first started breeding yorkie's I dealt with the Heiddy Webster line which is mainly black and tan. But, most people were looking for the tri or silver colors so i started bringing in more of that in the Tiffany lines. Now when I breed my black and tan females they sell immediately out. Too funny! My girlfriend has one of my black and tan females Miss Molly and she is due next month. I have a boy from her last litter who is totally adorable with a nice silk coat. We live in Maryland if interested I could let her no.

What a gorgeous girl she is. Just stunning.
Isn't black and tan different from black and gold?
I see most pictures posted are not actually tan but gold.
There is a difference I believe.
