The Yorkshire Terrier is really a tan dog having a blue saddle. Particolors exist, although they aren't correct for that breed standard. The particolor coat is whitened with black/blue and tan.
It's very rare to obtain a particolor, and when the first is found, it is commonly very costly. Some Yorkshire Terriers are liver or chocolate, a brown colour they're not able to create black pigment. The breed is determined by its colour, and the like non-standard colours may suggest health issues or mix-breeding along with other kinds of other colours. The AKC registration form for Yorkshire Terriers enables for four options: blue and tan, blue and gold, black and tan, black and gold. Colour alone won't affect whether your dog is a great companion and pet. Despite the fact that off-coloured Yorkshire Terriers are marketed at premium prices, being of the unusual or untypical colour is neither new, desirable, nor exotic.


Until lately, mismatched Yorkshire Terriers might be entered with Biewer Terriers, a brand new breed came from in Germany from party coloured Yorkshire Terriers. Even though the American Kennel Club won't deny registration of the Yorkshire Terrier on colour alone, the Yorkshire Terrier Club of the usa includes a directive that "any solid colour or mixture of colours apart from black and tan" for adult dogs is really a disqualification, and "dogs of solid colour, unusual mixture of colours, and party colours ought to be disqualified."
