Roots.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Me again with another 'beginners' question! lol

Is there any way to tell what a dogs color will be like when they get older? Chloe has 'roots'. Her face as you all have seen is a blonde color but her back is a 'yorkie' color (grey and blackish). If you hold the 'yorkie' hairs out straight, the roots are a VERY light blonde. Is this any indication of her adult color or will it change as she gets older?

Thanks for any input!

PS...Sorry I haven't gotten new pics up yet...I PROMISE to have new ones this weekend

My chloe is a year old and constantly changing. She will have roots that will be a different color, and then all of a sudden they will change again

With my experience there is now way of telling but some of the people that are breeders here on YT probobly know better

I'm sure you can see the next color coming in by looking at the roots. But - that doesn't mean there won't be more colors after that.

My pup has turned silver and a light tan. I think his colors are becoming beautiful..... he's beginning to look like a little "pastel Yorkie." But he may change again - time will tell!
