By popular demand (See Bobby, you are popular!) Meet Dolce'. She is a pure bred Yorkshire Terrier, but she has the throwback gene for Parti coloring (meaning she will be a tri color Yorkie). Yorkies are normally just black & tan. She was from a litter of 1, from an older pair of privately owned Yorkies locally. Litters of 1 don't always make it through to live birthing and are often still born, but Dolce' is a fighter. Her mom was 4lbs, and dad was 3.7lbs. She is on target to be about 4lbs.
She is, as my wife would say "a hot mess" in these pic's and is going to get her first grooming soon. The dark color tips of her hair makes it looks like she's been rolling in the mud or has a bad dye job, but it is just the dark color growing out. We've been playing at brushing her daily to get her used to it, so the groomers have an easier time of it.
You can see her roots are very light, and she has pure white on her chin and feet, and around her face. I have no idea what her final coat will look like, but have a feeling she will be mostly tan & white once she gets a hair cut, with a maybe a very few black spots remaining. She gets her final round of shots next week, she is 13 weeks old as of these pic's. They say their hair color will finalize around 6 months old.
