Tyger the Dog Light Version

Tyger the Dog's light version is the 2009 redesign, smaller at five and a half inches against the original's six, and colored grey and brown rather than black and brown. It arrived on 10 September 2009, overlapping the dark version's run by about seven months before that earlier version retired on 16 April 2010, and it has no recorded retirement date of its own.

The light version carries a sixteenth generation swing tag with the 14b tush tag, where the dark version pairs a fifteenth generation swing tag with 14a. Both share the same verse on the swing tag, praising the Yorkie's coat and pedigree; only the generation printed inside changes between them.
