| Need Expert Yorkie Opinion Hello, I purchased a Yorkshire Terrier puppy from a breeder in January, 2011. But, I think my Yorkie looks a bit atypical, unless this is normal when yorkie's are puppies. She provided me with a CKC registration for my puppy. But, I am a bit skeptical of whether my puppy is really a purebred. I could use some help from an expert please! I have upload some photos of my puppy who is 12 weeks. I just took the pictures today. Does she look like a Yorkshire Terrier? Is it normal for Yorkies to have black masks as puppies? Thank you! http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...Nibbler011.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ibbler026b.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndpuppy036.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndpuppy030.jpg http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndpuppy037.jpg |

| I'm certainly no pro when it comes to Yorkies. You do have a beautiful yorkie. I found this thread that may be of interest: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...rt-thread.html Hope this sheds some light. |

| Looking at the pictures she is just adorable. She does look like she is yorkie and I think she is a real cutie. I am glad to see she has a wonderful home. Enjoy her and love her for many years she is a doll. Susan Last edited by Susan78; 02-12-2011 at 12:32 PM. |

| Your puppy is very adorable, but if I had to guess I'd have to say it does not look like a yorkie.

| I'm a bit skeptical too when I look at the photos. I haven't had a Yorkie puppy look like that. Can you tell us the breeders name? With CKC registration it is possible to be a mix. (If that is the Continental Kennel Club and not Canadian Kennel Club) But whether your baby is purebred or not she is beautiful

| It is my opinion with 36 plus yrs breeding/showing your adorable puppy is NOT a purebred Yorkie. If you paid a small puppy price for her, then I would not be upset..if you paid a purebred Yorkie price, then that is another story. Buying from any breeder is a matter of going to someone well known and ethcial...someone who has established a reputation for breeding the best to produce the best so buyers will not beasking this very question you have asked...no buyer should look at their puppy and wonder if it is the breed they bought...even at 8 or 12 weeks.. Best wishes...enjoy your puppy... |

The breeder's name is Crystal Hardacker. She lives in Sun Valley, CA. Here's a picture of the certificate: http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...ertificate.jpg | |

| She doesn't look like a 'typical' Yorkie pup at that age, but she is a beauty. It looks like she's going from black to brown on her saddle, which isn't the norm. I wouldn't want to say she's a mix just by looking at a few pics, though. She could have been bred from an off-colored parent. Did you happen to see the parents? If she is a mix, I couldn't say what she may be mixed with. She is a lovely little girl though, and I hope she brings you much happiness. One thing I do notice.....her ears need trimming. If you get the hair off her ears, they'll likely stand up over time. Welcome to YorkieTalk and I hope you'll stick around. What's the name of your baby, by the way?

Thank you for your reply. Her name is Nibbler. I am getting a Wisdom Panel done to know if she is mixed or not. Sure, I can start trimming her ear fur. How do I go about that? Just grasp the hair and trim it with scissors? At what age should her ears be standing up? Thank you for the tip. Anastasia | |
