| Purebred Yorkie or a mixed breed? Hi all, I am new to Yorkie Talk. I just got a "yorkie" pup, he is almost 9 weeks. The people I bought him from said he was "pure", but I'm not quite sure. What do you think? I have attached a picture of him at about 6 weeks. Either way, he is a great addition to our family. We've named him "Teddy". |

| The reason I asked is because my sister thinks he's a "chorkie" due to his rather large ears lol |

| Yes He is adorable and looks purebred. Piper has floppy ears. They do stand up occasionally . But I decided that she is cute with her ears. Jilly has true yorkie ears. I say all this because like humans, there is variety. The standard show dogs are georgeous examples of yorkies. |

| I think it is a chorkie, But I am no expert. Has the colorings of a yorkie but looks like a Chihuahua as well. |

| He is adorable and looks like a Yorkie to me. I've seen a lot of Yorkies with big ears as babies that grow into them as they mature. Do you have a more recent photo of him?
