Blue Born Girl looks like a chocolate yorkie

[jasonryen]

I have a blue born yorkie girl that looks like a chocolate yorkie. Brown nose but she has a blue tint to her and her eyes are blue. She has an awesome quote and comes form a chocolate carrier. Her brother is the same color. Pic is at 6weeks.
Can anyone give me some input on her.

I don't think you understand about blue born, many people are confused by the term blue since Yorkies are known for their “blue” coat. A blue born is something different, their hair has a greyish color and sometimes, their hair never really grows. Some are hairless and have skin problems, and some die before the age of three. They should never be bred, but people keep breeding them, and unsuspecting buyers don’t understand the health risks involved. Yorkie puppies all have blue eyes, especially when photographed. Your dog probably is a chocolate and there are no known health problems for the chocolate as there are for the blue born. Goldenray Genetics Chocolate Yorkies Red Golden or Yorkie Blue Borns CDA. I personally don't believe people should breed for them, just because there are too many pets available, and the only breeding being done should be to preserve the breed.

Your little girl while adorable, doesn't look purebred to me because the hair on the leg resembles fur not hair as seen in yorkies. Sometimes people mix another breed into the dog, in order to get unique colors.

IDK But she's cute!

She is a pure bred akc that comes from a line that has been bred for 20 years. Her coat is awesome. I have been told that she is blue and was wanting some feedback.
She does not look like anything is wrong with her hair.
Chocolate yorkies are known for their green eyes and hers are blue.

She doesnt look blue to me and you dont want her to be blue born they have health problems.

[jasonryen]

No I do Not want her to be blue born. I am scared that she might have health problems and was wondering if anyone could give some input on the pic.

She doesnt look blue born to me at all. They usually have blue/gray type of coat.

Quote...? Or did you mean "coat"?

As far as an awesome coat...coats change so, what you see at 6 weeks will be different as an adult.

Please tell us that you are not purchasing a 6 week old puppy...Yorkie puppies need to be with their mothers & littermates for a minimum of 10-12 weeks.

I bred her and am going to sell her for a pet. I think she was full of it. Now she has a bother that is the same color but his hair is really short and thats why she thinks they are both blue born but IDK she looked solid brown as a newborn

I will tell you the same thing I told you on FaceBook when asked my opinion...the puppy is NOT breed quality, should be spayed and placed as a pet if you are the breeder...if you are not the breeder and thinking of buying this puppy for breeding, it would be an unwise decision. If you are buying her as a pet and she is very inexpensive, the choice is up to you...best wishes

You have me confused...are you saying that "you" are the breeder

[YorkieRose]

I reread my post and I think it sounds harsh... what about this puppy makes you think she is breed quality...

[Pinehaven]

There is one way to know for sure if your girl is blue, that would be to do a simple cheek swab DNA test to test for the recessive D gene. I use a company called Animal Genetics Canine Testing Service Cost Test costs 40.00. If she is blue, that means both parents carry one copy of the recessive D gene, so use caution when breeding dogs from these lines.

Just because a dog is AKC does not always mean that it is totally pure. I am not trying to start anything. But, I know a person, unethical person to say the least, that has swapped papers on dogs, bred two different breeds and said that they are pure and here are the "Papers" to prove it. Somewhere back in the line could have been, not saying it is so, but, could have been an unethical person as I have known. She NO longer is in the "puppy business"...

You puppy is cute, but, not blue to me, She looks chocolate.
