| Apparently I have 2 yorkies?? LOL I joined here because of my yorkie puppy Clark, but I thought I'd share something funny. I have another dog, Maple, that we've always termed a 'mystery' dog. She was tiny when we got her at 12 weeks. She's currently 3.8 lbs at nearly 2 years. We were told that she was a poodle/maltese, but I knew there was another breed in there, as she had erect ears and a stiffer coat than a poodle or maltese (I've had both of those before). She's mostly all black with a bit of white on her chest and paws. Her brother was basically yorkie colors, with a poodle/maltese coat and floppy ears. So I thought she might have some yorkie in her somewhere, but most vets told me they thought she was more chihuahua or pomeranian than anything else. I noticed once we got Clark, though, that Maple and him were a lot alike. Same fun loving personality, same playfulness, same ears, eyes and nose. I kept thinking maybe there was a LITTLE bit of yorkie in her, somewhere. Anyway it was driving me crazy so I got a DNA test done on her. And the results are: less than 30% poodle/maltese - the rest is all yorkie! I was thinking there was a little bit of yorkie in her and here the results say over 70% yorkie! Too funny. Now I have 2! Just wanted to share. |

| Thanks motinot, yavenay and teasell. You know, it's funny, when we'd take Maple out we always have people stop us and ask us if she was part yorkie. One lady was absolutely trying to convince me Maple was a yorkie "She looks EXACTLY like my yorkie, same personality, same tilt of the head, EVERYTHING the only difference is she's black!"I wasn't so convinced. But apparently those people were right, lol. She actually has short hair right now, not like in the pictures, and she looks quite poodle-like with short hair (her poodle DNA is 10-20%). which is a big reason why I never thought she had mostly yorkie DNA. Maybe a bit, but she does poodle things, like fetching. Anyone know if yorkies are good at fetching? Maple is a star at fetching. Anyway. Thanks for the compliments on Maple. We are blessed to have her and Clark. They ARE cute, lol. We can't get enough of their cuteness.

| Hi, congratulations, and welcome to YorkieTalk. How cool you had the DNA test done. Maple does have a Yorkie look, and she is beautiful...gorgeous in black. I have one Yorkie who lives to play fetch, so I would say fetch can be a Yorkie game. I personally think it is the dog's choice which games it likes, though. LOL

| My Teddi is great at fetching and drops the item at my feet when i tell her to 'give'......If i tell her 'go fetch your baby'...she runs off in to the kitchen and comes back with her cuddle toy |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Bonnie loves to play fetch! She will play until YOU are tired. She always brings it back and puts it in my hand so I can throw it again. 😊 Unfortunately, we are having a bit of nipping going on when she gets excited...working to break that habit. |

| Thank you everyone. And thanks for letting me know fetch can be a yorkie thing too! Even the poodle mix I grew up with that was obsessed with fetching her tennis ball had to be taught at first. Maple just one day rolled her mini-tennis ball at me and stared at me. I threw it, she brought it back and dropped it. I didn't have to teach her anything, lol. I just always thought it meant she had a lot of poodle in her, but in retrospect, our maltese poodle mixes had zero interest in fetching, so maybe it is the yorkie in Maple . Cool.
