a friend of mime has just phoned me. She is going mad to get a yorkie for awhile now, she has looked into gettin a rescue but has had no luck. She aint into minis or teacup just a NORMAL yorkie. apparently she was looking on a few sites this morning and seen one that is adverised as pbnr, also teacup, she has no interest in this pup but she noticed that the yorkie is just brown. Just out of curiosity can u get a brown yorkie?

Hi, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_Terrier :

Other colors

A two year old silver blue and gold Yorkshire Terrier


The Yorkshire Terrier is a tan dog with a blue saddle.It does have the parti color. The party color coat Is white with black and tiny places with tan. It's very rare to get a a party color yorkie, and if they are found they tend to be very expensive.[15] The breed is defined by its colour, and colours promoted as "rare" may indicate health problems or crossbreeding with other breeds of other colours.[5] The AKC registration form for Yorkshire Terriers allows for four choices: blue and tan, blue and gold, black and tan, black and gold. Colour alone will not affect whether or not a dog is a good companion and pet. Even though off-coloured Yorkshire Terriers are advertised at premium prices, being of an unusual or untypical colour is neither new, desirable, nor exotic.[15]
Until recently, mismarked Yorkshire Terriers could be crossed with Biewer Terriers, a new breed originally from parti coloured Yorkshire Terriers.[16] Although the American Kennel Club will not deny registration of a Yorkshire Terrier on color alone, the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America has a directive that "any solid color or combination of colors other than blue and tan" for adult dogs is a disqualification, and "dogs of solid color, unusual combination of colors, and parti-colors should be disqualified."[8] This means such dogs are not evaluated in the breed ring, and should not be bred for puppy mills.

maybe it is crossed with another breed?
