I need to ask you all about a white yorkie I think the lady aid she was silver and changed to white...Shes 5 yrs old what should I do ? I could get her but needing to know if there be problems with her? The lady said she's in good health

Ramsey's saddle is more white than silver and her sister's coat is really really light colored. I don't know of any health issue involved with it. Personally I would ask to speak to her vet to determine the health of the dog. One thing by 5 if they have not had preventative tooth care....she likely needs a professional dental performed.

As mentioned above, I would defineately get the yorkie's medical records from her vet. Not take the lady's word. It is much better, and safer if you can . She sounds like a very pretty yorkie. Since she is 5 years old, dental care is vital. Here's hoping the people who have owned her have kept good care of her.

The woman says she gave her the shots herself? Is she a breeder? I wonder if she hasn't had shots at all and that is just the "story" she is feeding you. Could you bring her for a vet check before you commit to having her?

And yes, vets give shots, clean teeth and all sorts of medical care on yorkies all the time. Yes, some dogs (not just yorkies) unforunately have an issue with going under.. but it is a chance that has to be taken when it comes to the welfare of our pets. If her teeth are really bad it could lead to other issues

I would try to get some type of health guarantee that you and her agree on. Then with that agreement you have to take her to the vet and have an examination done to determine what type of health she is in. Good luck and congrats if it works out.

Most five year old dogs are sold 'as is" but contacting the vet is a good idea or ask if you can take her to the vet at your expense before any money changes hands. As far as her color, hormones changing with age will often cause females to lighten up.
