| Baxter I have my new puppy and he is so fun. But I am a little confused. Everyone that see him, said what breed is he. When I say a yorkie they ask if I saw the parents. I did but I hate to show his cute picture. He is getting long legged and his hair is not growing much. I have attached a picture. Have others had puppy's with hair this short at 8 weeks. He is 11 weeks old and has a little more tufts of hair but not a lot. |

| Well, maybe his hair is just growing a little slow. I am sure it will start growing soon.

| Yorkies come in all looks, shapes, sizes & colors! Yes, there is a standard to go by but if you are happy with your little guy and don't care about that - it shouldn't matter! I'm sure he will be a great pet. Honestly, he doesn't have as much hair as most Yorkies at 8 weeks and he looks possibly Chihuahua mix but who knows! Some Yorkies don't have as much hair and then it turns beautiful! Here's some pics of Chi/Yorkie mixes: Chorkie Pictures and Photos, 1 Either way, he is a CUTIE!!!

| Baxter He is a sweet and I love him but I paid too much money to have a mix breed and then I do not like Chihuahua's. I hate that people tell me that he is not a yorkie. |

| Yorkie Or Chorkie??? As much as you hate to hear it, your puppy is cute but he looks like a chorkie - a yorkie and chihuahua mix, his ears are too large when compared with a full yorkie, that is what gives him the chihuahua look, along with the lack of a full coat. How long have you had him? Did you get him from a person presenting themselves as a yorkie breeder? I think they misled you if that is the case. Chorkie's are cute, but if you thought you were buying a purebred yorkie, then I would contact the person who sold you the puppy. |

| Hey, I would like to post on here and just say that I am the breeder. Everyone feel free to look in my albums and see the parents, they are obviously NOT chihuahuas! I have no other dogs (well, a black lab and he is fixed so there was no mistake there!) so I am positive of who the sire and dam are. Yes, the rest of the litter has more hair than Baxter and I am predicting that all the girls will have silk coats. In comparing him to the girls, I think he will have more of a dry cotton coat like what we had talked about (like his mother, Molly who is a red leg). Molly's coat grows incredibly slow and she only needs to be groomed about every 3 months or so (which is great on grooming costs). Connie, I know that you expressed much concern about his coat but please be patient with it. You know what Max and Molly look like so its not like he will grow up to look like a chihuahua and nothing like his parents. He does have big ears right now, which he will grow into someday.

| It's obvious that he does not have the 'standard' look... my guess is that he will be a red legged yorkie, like his momma

| I looked at your beautiful Yorkies in your photo album, Robin Lodal. After looking at Baxter's parents in Robin Lodal photo album, I can easily tell that Baxter is a Yorkie. He looks like his mother, so he probably will be a Red-Legged Yorkie like his mother. Red-Legged Yorkies have a wiry coat that does not grow very long. Enjoy your Yorkie and do not let other people's opinions bother you. Educate people about Red-Legged Yorkies and always mention positive qualities that your Yorkie possesses when people ask questions about Baxter being a purebred Yorkie. http://www.yorkiesllc.com/yorkieinfo...dcoloring.html Last edited by JoshieBoy; 09-09-2009 at 11:40 PM. |

| Awww such a cutie pie!!!! If you look at my album, my Pixel is a "chorkie" (chihuahua/yorkie mix). I don't think your baby looks like him. Yours is a full yorkie I'm sure! Don't worry about what others say. Hell, many people assume Pixel is a GIRL!!! LOL |

| My Trixie looked kind of like that when she was small. I think it'd the ears that are throwing everyone off. She will grow into them She is still a baby, they change so many times while they are growing. My Pebbles and Coco were little puff balls. Trixie wasn't. They are all different. She is such a doll. Love those babies. Congratulations!!!

| Oh well if his mama is a Red Legged Yorkie, that explains it!! Like I said, he's such a cutie! I wouldn't care WHAT he was! lol. What a doll. Look forward to watching him grow up on YT hopefully.
