Hi People! I purchased a Yorkie puppy back in late May, early June. His name is Nino since my husband wouldn't let me name him Pudd'n. I am concerned that he is not full Yorkie. Being a dog enthusiast, I knew I should've seen both his parents but I didn't. He is CKC registered. I know all their ears don't stick up. His are not and he is five months old. His hair has also not grown. I should have purchased from a reputable breeder. He is also rather leggy. I don't know what to do!

Love him.

But, keep in mind as you say....some pups ears don't stand, but there are ways to assist them. Shaving the hair to get the weight off of them.....As far as the leg....I love leg on a yorkie.......in fact I bred for it. Nothing more elegant than seeing a yorkie with long legs and in full coat gait around the ring

Full breed or not he is cute! They have tests to check if he is full Yorkie if you really need to know. Otherwise just give him all the love and attention he needs. Welcome to YT!

Welcome to YT! Your little guy is adorable, what a sweet face he has, and long legs are awesome. My furbaby is a leggy girl, and I love it, they look like runway models for yorkie couture.

I am surprized how often I have seen this question. Yorkies can look very different from the show winner and beauties we see in dog books and magazines. Just like all women don't look like the models in fashion magazines, but I am a 100% real woman with grey hair, belly scar and wrinkels and maybe more of a butt than I should have. Is your Yorkie 100% pure breed ? We can't say without DNA tests. But my guess is yes, looking at the picture.

Thanks for the replies y'all! I love him I really do. Even though he's peed on the couch twice this week and steals socks! I guess I was expecting pointy ears and longer hair. How much hair is a five month old supposed to have? When does it start to get long?

Hi and welcome. My first Yorkie was a gift, and was purchased from a back yard breeder, even though she is AKC registered. I knew so little about the breed, I did not even realize her ears were supposed to stand up, so I did none of the proactive measures like shaving her ears, or taping them. Nine years later, her ears don't stand up, her coat is so wooly I have to keep it clipped short, she has an overbite, and she weighs about 10.4 pounds! She is also the best dog I have ever owned. With my two younger Yorkies, I got much more obsessed about breed standards, and wasted a lot of time researching will my new baby have a silky coat, and how big will he or she get, and blah blah blah, even though I never had any intention of showing them or breeding them. Nino is your baby now, and just like human babies, you will love everything about him, even what someone else might perceive as "flaws," because those are the things that make him what he is! And just as you would with a human baby, don't let anyone talk smack about Nino!

Kathryn,
Here is a pic of Zoe at 5 months, and now her hair is long...her skirt below the body hangs down about 4", and her face hair is at least 4" long or more. I think they all just "mature" at their own pace, but they are ALL so beautiful! I thought for sure that Zoe would never get hair (now I miss the non-tangling super short version ).

Yorkies are all unique in how they mature. Just love your boy for who he is and cherish the traits that make him special. I personally would be very happy to have a leggy dog, Belle has stubby little legs.... but she's my little darling girl and I love her just as she is.
Here is a picture of Belle at 5 months and another more recent picture. She is 9 months old now and still changing.

BAHAHA!! That cracked me up!

Pretty sure Gizmo is 1/4 Yorkie, 1/4 monkey, 1/4 mountain goat, and 1/4 human (at least in his opinion!)
