Sable & Brindle Yorkies for Sale in Florida

Rare patterning. Honest color history. One-of-a-kind companions.

Sable and Brindle Yorkies are among the most visually unique rare-color Yorkies, known for coats that shift, shimmer, and change beautifully as they mature. These puppies may show deep charcoal, gold, chocolate, tiger striping, soft sable blending, or dramatic parti patterns with white. At Elite Yorkies & Biewers, we love these lines because no two puppies are ever exactly alike. Some show bold, dramatic patterning when their coats are trimmed short, while others reveal a softer, glowing blend of color when their coats are left long. These are rare-color companions with personality, beauty, and individuality — each one carrying a look entirely their own.

What Is a Sable Yorkie?

A Sable Yorkie has a coat with multiple tones that may include gold, charcoal, brown, black, cream, or reddish shading. Sable coloring often changes as the puppy matures, becoming warmer, lighter, or more golden over the first year of life. This shifting color is part of what makes sable so interesting. A sable puppy may look darker as a baby, then develop richer gold, bronze, or blended tones as the adult coat comes in. Sable Yorkies are loved for their depth of color, soft transitions, and naturally expressive appearance.

What Is a Brindle Yorkie?

A Brindle Yorkie carries a patterned coat that can show stripes, streaks, or layered markings, sometimes called “tiger” patterning. The effect may be bold and dramatic or soft and blended, depending on the coat length, texture, and individual puppy. One of the most beautiful things about brindle is that the pattern can be seen in different ways. When the coat is clipped shorter, the brindle markings may appear more defined and dramatic. When the coat is left longer, the colors may blend together with a soft, glimmering effect. Because every brindle pattern develops differently, each puppy has a truly individual look.

An Honest and Fun Note on Brindle Color History

Unlike Chocolate, Biewer, and Gold Dust color expressions, which are generally understood as naturally occurring recessive color genetics within Yorkie and Biewer-type lines, brindle has a different history. Brindle was likely introduced into rare-color Yorkie lines through careful outcrossing to breeds where brindle naturally occurs, followed by generations of selective breeding back toward Yorkshire Terrier type, size, coat, temperament, and companion qualities. Dr. Robin Taylor, DVM, imported some of the earliest known Chocolate Brindle and Black or Tiger Brindle Yorkies to arrive in the United States. When these early dogs were DNA tested, some showed trace ancestry from breeds such as Havanese and/or Chihuahua, both of which can naturally carry brindle coloring. This kind of careful historical color development has been used in the dog world not only to introduce colors into established breeds, but also in the creation and refinement of breeds themselves. At Elite Yorkies & Biewers, we believe transparency matters. Rare color should never be presented without knowledge, history, and responsible care.

Brindle appreciation

Why Dr. Taylor Valued the Brindle Lines

Dr. Taylor loved the brindle lines because of their extraordinary individuality. Like merles, brindles are never boring and never exactly duplicated. Some appear deep and dramatic, with bold tiger-like markings. Others are softer and more blended, with sable undertones that become increasingly golden as they mature. All brindles are also sables, which means their coloring often becomes more vibrant and golden during their first year of life. This gives families the joy of watching their puppy’s coat continue to develop and reveal new beauty over time.

Solid Brindle and Parti Brindle Yorkies

Brindle may appear in both solid-color Yorkies and parti-pattern Yorkies with a white base coat. A solid brindle Yorkie may show striping or sable-brindle blending across the body, often in shades of charcoal, brown, gold, bronze, or black. A parti brindle Yorkie may show brindle or sable-brindle patches over a white base coat, creating an especially artistic and distinctive appearance. Both varieties are rare, and both can be absolutely beautiful when paired with the right structure, coat quality, temperament, and care.

Rare Color Is Only the Beginning

At Elite Yorkies & Biewers, color is never the whole story. Our breeding philosophy continues the legacy originally developed through Roman Empire Yorkies by Dr. Robin Taylor, DVM — retired USAF Colonel, veterinarian, and genetic specialist. Her work focused not only on rare color, but also on health, intelligence, temperament, sound structure, and deep human connection. Today, her son, Mikael Cherry, carries that legacy forward through Elite Yorkies & Biewers, preserving the same family commitment to thoughtful breeding, exceptional companionship, and well-loved rare-color Yorkies.
