- Blue and tan: This is the most common color combination for Yorkshire Terriers. The coat should be a dark steel blue on the body, with tan markings on the head, legs, and tail.
- Black and tan: This color variation is similar to the blue and tan, but the body color is black instead of blue.
- Gold and tan: This color combination is less common than the blue and tan, but it is still considered a standard Yorkie color. The body color is a golden brown, with tan markings on the head, legs, and tail.
- Red and tan: This is a rare color combination, but it is also accepted as a standard Yorkie color. The body color is a reddish brown, with tan markings on the head, legs, and tail.
In addition to these standard color combinations, Yorkshire Terriers can also have a variety of other color variations, such as:
- Parti-color: This refers to a Yorkie that has patches of white in addition to the standard color combination.
- Sable: This refers to a Yorkie that has a coat that is a mixture of black and tan hairs.
- Brindle: This refers to a Yorkie that has a coat that is a mixture of black and tan hairs, with a striped or mottled pattern.
The coat of a Yorkshire Terrier can also vary in texture, from silky and smooth to wavy and curly. The texture of the coat is determined by the individual dog's genetics.
