| He sure looks Yorkie! If you're really curious, you can get one of those DNA test kits at PetSmart for $50 to $75 depending on whether they're on sale. No blood is taken -- just a cheek swab. I did it on my rescue Yorkie, and he turned out to be purebred. The paperwork you get back is pretty informative, but I also talked to the lab that did the test. The Tech there said it one of the cleanest Yorkie screens she'd seen. Even if he's not 100% Yorkie, he's 100% CUTE! |

| There are dna tests that will tell you what ancestry your dog is. I know of the Mars test and here is one I found on Amazon. They are reasonably priced and if you really want to know, this is the way. Amazon.com: Wisdom Panel 2.0 Breed Identification...

| He definitely has yorkie in him but I also think he may be mixed with something else too.
