N.B.: | |||
On the Yorkshire Terrier tan means shaded of gold,
not reddish gold, and it may not be either a solid color, or brown, or
mahogany. (Only some of the hunting breeds may be termed tan if the
coat is reddish brown.) A shaded Tan is more comparable with the light of a
candle. Tan on the head, also the side of the head, and in the beard must be
entirely free of grey hair on the adult Yorkie (from 24-30 months). |
