| Looks like she might be mixed with Chi, but you never know. Some just don't turn out to be good examples of the breed. My two are pure bred, and due to their coats, size, and floppy ears, many people don't realize that they are full-blooded Yorkie. If your pup is healthy and has a great temperament, then you are fortunate regardless of whether Minnie is pure bred or not. However, if you were promised a pure bred AKC pup and paid a pure bred price and she turns out to be mixed, then the breeder committed fraud, should be reported to the AKC, and you should get some of your money back.

| She does look like a mix with a short-coated breed. She is a cutie! Darling little pixie face and smart appointments. Looks very dainty, petite and the name Minnie fits her. I imagine she is a smartie, too. She has a curious, inquisitive quality to her eyes, as if she is always busy figuring it all out and trying to outguess and outfox Mommie!

| I don't know what to think. I love her no matter what she's amazing and part of our family but it would be odd if she's not. I have the papers and I saw a pic of her mom and dad she does resemble some of both that I've seen but who knows. If she is a yorkie will her fluff grow late?? I'm bit sure if I should say anything to the breeder about my thoughts or just let it go because I'm not giving her back if she's not legit. Opinions or thoughts anyone?? |

| I would think she would be fluffier by now but am no expert. I think I would send pictures to the breeder at least.

| Can you post the pictures of the parents? Did you order your puppy online? I really do understand the frustration of being lied to, hoping and waiting to find out. What do your papers say about your cutie patootie? |

| I think they usually get fluffy pretty quickly, at 3 or 4 weeks???? IDK really as it has been so long since I've seen Yorkies that young. I won't pick out a Yorkie early because I simply can't tell enough what it will be like until I meet the dog. But I would expect at 10 wks. a Yorkie pup would be a furball. I'd tell the breeder as she needs to know there is no sign of a mustache or anything growing. Sure is a sweetiepie. If she's part MinPin, she's likely be a hyper smartie you'll need to control well but very intelligent. If she's mixed with Yorkie, all the better. I imagine a Yorkie/MinPin mix would be a very smart, aggressive, tenacious, loving dog and one that you'll need to keep from running your life like a benevolent dictator wearing a tiara!!! I love dogs like that and I love her.

| Looks like a mix to me for sure. Can you be certain the parents she showed you we indeed the parents to that pup? I saw a case once where the pup sold and parents to the pup were shown and turned out the dad was not the dad. |
