Congratulations on your most unusall but beautiful litter.
I never knew such a thing could happen. Good luck to you
and your puppies. Can't wait to see them grow alittle.

I don't understand why you are intentionally breeding for genetic defects??? :eek:

Perhaps you should read this info: http://members.aol.com/CYorkie/Genet...Chocolate.html

I'll back this comment!!! I seriously think you need to stop breeding this pair and have them spayed/neutered...and I hope and pray you are not selling these "rare" (makes me sad to think of using that term for them) pups for a higher amount.

Good luck finding them all fantastic homes :D

Congratulations on the puppies! Their all so cute, I can't wait to see them grow up! I can't imagine your shock and surprise when you first saw them!

I have a little blue-born girl, she just turned a year old and is very healthy and happy :) Since you said you've only heard one success rate with blue borns, thought I'd share another one with you :)

Wonderful Rae Rae! I'd love to see pictures! I thought they were about 99% doomed if blue born.:(

could you post a picture?

They are all so beautiful! Congratulations and have fun with these babies when they get their eye open and start playing. :D

Oh my what a litter and the colors what a variety. Hope they all do well keep the pics coming.

She DID have hair when she was born, so that's the only confusing thing to me, but she started losing it about 2months old. But I've taken her to three different vets since we had her and they all say she's going to be normal, just to keep her extra warm. We also gotta take good care of her skin, because I read that they can get skin problems. I think some are born sick, maybe most are. I'm very grateful that she's healthy :)

Here she is as a baby

And here's a pic of her in September, I really don't have any nakey pics of her, LOL.

Also one other wierd thing is, she has grown hair around her chest after her heat, and it's a lot, like hair on a short-haired dog.

why would you intentionally breed for this? Off-colors are one thing as it is opinion/preference...but a blue-born puppy is a serious defect that can have fatal consequences. I can't believe so many are encouraging this :(

blue born
 

your link to this info does not work. just wondering what the problem is.. :)

does anyone have a blue that is grown they can post a pic of?

Ahhhh ... your babies are gorgeous! Hope they can grow up here in the nursery. Those of us who can only have one kinda live through those of you who can have a "puppy pile"!!! Thanks for sharing! ;)

Try this one the other one worked yesterday: http://www.goldenrayyorkies.com/Gene...Chocolate.html

Your puppies are very cute. I hope they all grow up to live long healthy lives.

If I am not mistaken, this is the person that was on here a few months ago that had a blue born and the vet toldd him how "rare" it was and that he could get "big money" for it. Wouldn't listen to a thing any of us had to say. if I am mistaken about the idenity, I'm sorry. You still shouldn't be breeding this pair. To be honest, I am not at all sure they are all from the same litter anyway.

Also agree... :thumbup:

My Blue and tan female the mother of the litter of 7
 

This is a picture of my blue and Tan female as you can see she is 3 1/2 alive and very healthy no health problems and look at her hair/coat its all there as you can see.I dont understand why people think just because one may have health problems they all have health problems, I take care of my yorkies very well if the vet and AKC agree with me please dont judge me you do you and I will do me.This picture was taken on 03/26/2008 the day before she gave birth to ALL healthy puppies Blue/Golden/black and tan and Chocolate, I had no Idea that I was going to get a bag of Skittles.Like I said before her great grand father is a Champion so Off colors,mutations or better know as evolution.If you have never had any health blue puppies you would not under stand.

No mam that was not me so please correct yourself.

so the mom is healthy. her great grandfather is champion. that doesn't matter. period. bottom line is these 2 dogs are throwing blue puppies and that in itself is just not good. blue borns run a VERY HIGH risk of living very painful, unhealthy lives. if they live long at all. and with that being said...this is not something you should be allowing to happen or encourage. you should be breeding to better the breed...and this is just not what is going on. chocolates, reds, blues, goldens...that is not standard and it is HIGHLY discouraged.
I know you asked for people to be positive when posting here...but I'm sorry...as people who have a passion for this breed....some of us just cannot let it go without trying to help. I would hate for these...or any pups...to be sold to homes...get really sick...the new owners have NO idea what to do and don't want to deal with it. they get mad at you. they get rid of the puppy...the cycle continues.

OR...if they think they have such a rare dog...they decide to go off and breed and things get gradually worse for this breed.

sorry if I am out of line here..but I think these dogs should NOT be bred.

I don't think your out of line..Breeding off colors in one thing, but when it creates Blue Born puppies thats a whole different thing. Any litter that produces blue borns should never be breed again period!

Blue and tan sisters who came from a litter 6 3 were blue and the others were blk&tan
 

Here are two pictures I have of two Blue sisters from the same litter both have full coats and are 3 1/2 thats why I said people that have negative comments about off colors who know nothing about them but always have something to say please dont hit me up.The one who is Tied with the liver and tan AKC male is the female that had all black and Tan puppies and the one who is not tied is the one who had the litter of 7.I understand that some of you don't agree with off color yorkies or better yet Standard color yorkies but they all had to come from a yorkie in order to be here dont judge them. I knew that I should have never posted my pictures but I just wanted to share my new babies with the world thats why a lot of people that have yorkies don't bother with this site because of some of the people on here that always have something negative to say wow if you don't have anything nice to say please dont say anything at all.And another thing I am pretty sure that I have never used the term rare to ever sell any of my puppies I have a great mentor who has taught me a lot plus she is a breeder and she shows yorkies She was the first to ever show a Chocolate yorkie with the APR she took second place because the puppy was liver and tan and the judges were amazed and I have 7 books on yorkies some of you people are really anal and another thing I got both of my females as rescues one was 2 years ago and then I bought her sister in May so please dont assume what are the first 3 letters in assume I paid 2,360.00 for the 2 sisters who by the way came from a litter with 3 black and tan STANDARD color bothers and sisters and my LIver and tan aka Chocolate male.Now I am trying to be as nice as possable but some of you who think that you have seen it all and know it all are making it very hard for me to be as verbably professional as I can be.And all of the blue and tans that were sold last time were sold with limited AKC registration and when people came to buy them I gave them all the info they needed to know about CDA or Blue dog syndrome and let them know that their blue and tan puppy may have a skin problem but as of yet 15 months later all are well and very healthy and I always give people the option of bringing a puppy back with a cash refund so its not about the money of the other lady that said that.My vet has been a vet of 56 years and has seen it all and never once did he say anything was wrong with my puppies any of them.And plus I get all of my puppies vet checked by two vets before they leave my home.Look at more than one blue and then talk about or talk to me mine are fine I am sorry for the people that may have bad blues but remember all color of yorkies came from STANDARD yorkies and one more thing before I leave 1 female is 7 pounds the other is 5 and the liver and tan male is 4 pounds.The litter of 7 is doing fine and all are living and healthy so for those of you who asked thanks for asking.And I will post more pictures of my healthy Blues and OFF colored yorkies so those who dis agree can see that all off Standard colors don't have health peoblems.

I didn't have anything positive to say about this litter.
So I haven't posted anything and I won't be negative because the reasons why not to breed for this has already been pointed out, but I just saw this post that you are saying that their is a Champion in your lines. So I will ask.

So Who is this Champion?

Prestigeous Yorkies

I believe I already said, "if I'm wrong, I'm sorry." I stand by my statement that you should not be breeding this pair.

I think it's more because only a few end up living normal lives while the majority have health problems.

Congrats!!! They are gorgeous!!:animal36
