I have to agree that I think they look like the same pup, adorable as can be

MommyLovesRiley · 03-14-2009, 06:30 PM

My fiance and I keep staring at the pictures and looking at Riley and we see sooo many differences. For example: her hair. The picture puppy has the blonde/gold starting to grow in. Riley's blonde/gold JUST got that noticeable and it still isn't as noticeable as picture puppy. When we first got her, there was a tiny bit of blonde that was barley noticeable unless you were looking directly at the top of her head.

I can't help but think that they look so similar is because picture puppy might have been in a previous litter.

How old is she now? you can tape her ears up for three days.. give them a break and if they flop again tape them again for another few days.. I like to see a yorkie with their ears errect.. I sold a male almost two years ago.. the new mommy did not want ears taped.. last summer she came to see me and loves her baby but with ears down.. she gets comments that it is not a yorkie due to ears.. the other mommy taped the ears and the difference is very noticeable..

just a suggestion... anne

From the pictures and their eyes and facial emotion, I do think that both pictures belong to the same pup. I don't think the breeder switched your pup.

When we got Zeus his ears were straight up and then about a week later flopped down. They were down about a week and now they stand erect again! That sweet little face looks the same to me.

Did you buy online???!!!

When people you finally get it - never ever buy puppies online. No reputable breeder will send puppies - only so-called backyard breeders and puppy millers do it on regular basic.

Puppies are not merchandise as TV or something like that. You have to see the parents, temperament of puppy, etc, etc, etc....

Your puppy is cute.

But .... if you buy online - 90% you did support a not good breeder. Sorry.

Don't believe me? Then educate yourself about puppy mill industry. Sorry.

TRUE HURTS, I know.....

However, a dog is not a "product" and professionals agree that buying a dog online is irresponsible, dangerous and contributes to the problem known as, "puppy mills."

Showing some pics of cute pup just as advertisement is typical online spam, same as showing pics of beautiful show quality dogs as parents (real parents are dirty, sick and live in horrible condition)

Another spam of online pet store - showing pic of nice looking pup, if you click on "buy" bottom, the owners of online pet store/brokers just go to nearest puppy mill and find similar looking one and send it to you.

I can tell much more secrets about online pet trade industry.

I agree. Looks like the same pup to me.

AbbysMom08 · 03-14-2009, 10:37 PM

What a cutie

omichka · 03-14-2009, 10:45 PM

no, those are two different pups. just look closely: they not only have different ears, but also different color on face... sorry...

omichka · 03-14-2009, 10:48 PM

but again: your baby is cutie. what I am trying to say is just true, although it is not pleasant to hear. good luck with your baby, but please don't buy pups online again.

yorkiemomto4 · 03-14-2009, 11:02 PM

Looks like the same pup to me. Sometimes you can take two different pictures of the same pup and they will look different according to lighting etc.Pictures can also make the pup look bigger than what it really is. I think its the same pup. No matter which, it sure is cute!

omichka · 03-15-2009, 07:06 AM

your free "puppy report."

Free Puppy Report

just contact them with providing information about the breeder, or just google: your breeder name... if you concern about that breeder

(1) She never said she bought the puppy online.

(2) Even if she did, she said that she's gotten more information here, which we all have. I knew not to buy from pet stores, but did not know about puppy mills until I joined this site. No need to berate her.

Good Morning, I do see a slight difference with the face but Riley is well loved and thats all that matters.....
