Chocolate Yorkie, Yorkshire terrier Brown
Chocolate Yorkie, also known as Brown Terrier, are one of the most adorable members of the toy dog category. They are a mixture of England's finest terriers, the Clydesdale terrier, English terrier, English black and tan terrier, waterside terrier and the Paisley terrier.
This breed of dog derived its name from their color. Origin is the Canil Olhos de Veludo http://www.puppyclick.com , Brazil.
The Yorkshire Terrier is genetically a Black/Tan (B/T) dog that turns blue later in life. The blue color is created at another loci by the GG or Gg genes.
The red or chocolate born are created by the bb genes. The red or chocolate born, referred to as liver in some breeds will also have self colored pigment, such as red, chocolate or liver nose. They not have health problems with the red/chocolate born puppies.
Blue born puppies and red/chocolate born puppies are rarecolors of the Yorkshire Terrier. The red/chocolate born puppies are recessive colors being passed to the progeny and a repeat breeding should never occur. Puppies of these colors are sold as rare colors. Yes hopefully it is very rare to get them.
Though it falls under the category of a toy dog, this breed is a bold, confident and courageous animal. Their behavior towards others vary. Just like other small sized dogs, they are always outgoing, eager for fun and adventure but they are sometimes a bit aggressive and aloof towards other small animals and strange canines. That old rough-edged terrier spirit still lingers on.
