It shows it with the rest of the litter, that has hair. Just thought I'd let you all know!

I've seen that I think it's a rerun if I remember correctly aren't they somewhere in England.

I tried to look for a hairless Yorkie on the internet..(warning...don't try! you get way more than what you are wanting!) Anyway does anyone have a photo of one?

Steel Blue is what the standard calls for.

I believe it's a "blue born Yorkie puppy" which the coat drops out as he/she grows into an adult?! right?

Yes, blue-born is the term used to describe this defect. Why is someone looking to buy a pup with this problem?

Not all blue born puppies lose their hair some do some have sparce hair and some have a full coat, hairless I would say is not a blue born pup.imo

If his skin is blue where there is hair loss then I would say he is a blue puppy not all blues carry the gene for hair loss etc, no different that choc and reds imo, all babies should be black and any other color is not right!

Sylvan, I did not know that was the term for this defect and had never heard of it
before. Beats me why anyone would look for a dog with a defect. I forget how
long it would take to lose the breed completely (but not long) if people continue
to do careless breeding. Anyone can have a defect show up but breeding to
have puppies with no idea of health problems in the line and
not even trying to breed to the standard so we will have this breed with us for
future generations to come is so sad.

Some people just want the odd and unusual these blue ,red,choc pups are no different than the others just different hair coloring I do think some of them are beautiful, look how many people want a chocolate or a red like Julz.The blues can have a few health problems with them I guess but I have also heard so do the choc and reds, I guess it is just a matter of what you want, but to breed for them is just not right!!imo There is a lady in LIme Springs that breeds for the red pupppies and has at least 1 in every litter she had 2 reds in her last litter, they are darker than Julz red puppies.

For the life of me I couldn't understand why so many yorkie breeders are also breeding chinese crested. Duh the light finally went on. What better way to get "hairless" yorkies than to cross breed them with the already hairless chinese crested.

Personally I'm fed up to the teeth with the never ending quest for "designer" breeds.

I love the breed, always have, always will and wish I was in the position to protect them all. I believe part of the problem is that the AKC is considering giving legitimacy to these designer dogs which only further encourages experimentation. Yorkies are distinquished in part by their coat so I don't see how making them hairless improves anything.

I think it is high time that those with purebred registered yorkies get busy with a letter writing campaign to the AKC, the CKC etc demanding that the breed standard remain the same and that "variations" not be considered. It is the only way to protect the integrity of the breed.
