| I am a new yorkie owner so I really don't know the answers to your questions but he looks like a yorkie to me. He is adorable and I would buy him in a minute. |

| He is absolutely precious and looks 100% yorkie to me. There is NO such thing as a teacup Yorkie--just so you know. If the breeder is calling him that, it is not a sign of a reputable breeder. Yorkies are a TOY breed. As far as expense goes, it's whatever you are comfortable paying. Have you met the other littermates or seen any of the parents? If so, how did he interact with you, and were the others just as cute?

| Oh my goodness, he is beautiful, yes, I would buy him. He looks 100% yorkie to me. If you are getting him from a reputable breeder they will keep him with his momma until he is 12 weeks old. Are they giving you a health grantee on this puppy, ask to see the parents.

| Cute dog If you post his weight and the breeder is being honest about his age, I will guesstimate a mature size. No way of knowing if he is 100% pure without a DNA test. I've seen mixed litters look 100% Yorkie, but his appearance looks 100% Yorkie. I note that his tongue is out in 2 of the 3 pics, cute, but I would check his bite for an overshot jaw. |

| Yeah, I noticed that too, and wondered if it was normal or a coincidence. Would definitely check the bite.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | First hi and welcome to YT. Glad you came I would go to a reputable breeder. That is the best way of finding a purebred. You can contact the clubs in your area. If they use the word teacup it is a red flag that tells us that the person is not reputable. The word teacup is used by back yard breeders and puppy mills to make money off puppies that are not well bred. And it never guarantees the size of the pup. just remember all puppies are cute. You want a healthly one. It will save you a lot of heart ache and vet bills in the future Good luck

| Isn't the breeder supplying papers to prove he is 100% yorkie?

| Does look like a yorkie to me... First thing I noticed was the tongue being out in 2 of the 3 pics. If the breeder is calling the pup a teacup I would look elsewhere....this is a word used to reason the higher cost...if this is the case you may be looking at a ton of genetic disorders or health conditions. There are breeders who accidentally have tinies....that can be healthy. But from the sounds of it this may not be the case.
