| Does this look like a Yorkie to you? Having had my Yorkie, Spike, for only a few months, I'm not sure about how to tell if a dog is a yorkie or not. I just received a call from the vet we work with about this abandoned "Yorkie" and was asked if we would take her. She weighs 7 lbs and I am attaching her "before" and "after" grooming pics. The vet tech says that her hair is definitely that of a Yorkie, but what do you think? It doesn't matter whether she is a Yorkie or not, my rescue is not breed specific. We take in all dogs from our local shelter. Just was curious though. |

| she sure does to me, she is very cute, her hair will grow, I have no idea why they could shave her that short.. but it looks like she will have a great coat when it grows out... She will be adorable!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I think a mix. Those ears are very tall.

YT Addict | Def. looks like a yorkie... just doesn't fit the standard. My girl Tikka fits the standard as far as color and coat texture and her structure but her ears are pretty tall too and her body a bit lanky.

| Thank you all so much. The reason they shaved her like that was because she was a shelter dog and nobody claimed her. Evidently she was on the streets for a while and got pretty matted and the only way to get rid of the matting was to shave her down. She is sweet little girl and with a foster now. |
