| the "chocolate" puppy is not chocolate..he will be colored like the father, gold all over. In order to be a brown or chocolate color in any breed, you must have liver pigmentation, which he doesn't. Picture of true, equally incorrect, chocolate shown below. Why is the incorrectly colored puppy more money than a correctly colored one?

| It does, thank you. No I think any puppy deserves a good home, just those who are not per the standard should be much cheaper, not more expensive.

| I too wish they were less expensive too .. Quote:
Dazzlin- I can see both sides to this because if you think about it, if these "incorrect" colored yorkies were cheaper, there would be a ton more being bred all over the place.?! It could be happening anyway but at least they are harder to buy??( my only thougt). I would rather see these colors than the chocos myself but I have seen actually more and more Chocolates for sale- (which I think are cute but I probably wouldn't buy myself) The blondes etc, can be traced to one of the original ancestors but I am not sure the light pigment nose, eye etc..can be traced...? Just babblin now-cuz I am no expert at all. If this was a little female I would do anything to try to get her immediately! The blondes and darker faced yorkies are sooo darn cute!!( like this one!!) I don't think $2000 is totally out of the world but I am in CA! Not cheap here.

| I can very well understand a chocolate colored yorkie being more expensive. Just like parti yorkies that are twice as expensive as the normal blue and gold. I think it all has to do with the fact that a chocolate, blonde, etc, are not seen as often as the regular blue and gold yorkie. Same temperment, same size, same body structure, the only thing that is different is the coloring. Several people like to have a yorkie that is different and the coloring makes it unique. You are going to pay more for something that is more scarce than something that you can find easily and is everywhere. Just like you are going to pay more for a biewer than a regular yorkie. I would love to take the chocolate boy, but I don't have the money. Although I am hoping Linda can get him and add him to her program.

| Has anyone considered the thought that they might be scarce because they don't adhere to the standard? What do you think the point of the standard is? Has it occurred to anyone that the point of a standard is so that a yorkie will look like a yorkie? A brown, red, blue born, solid gold, parti, black soft coated, etc. are nothing more than a genetic flaw or variance, not rare, not special..and those who cultivate these colors on purpose are not doing a darn thing but padding their pockets, they certainly aren't helping this breed as a whole. A standard is written for a breed for a REASON. Our standard has been in place for many many decades with very little variation, certainly none on color. If a breeder doesn't give a HOOT about the standard of the breed in which they are creating puppies, WHY are they breeding? I can see only one answer, for money...certainly not for the betterment of the breed.
