| Purebred and partly White?? Has anyone ever heard of a purebred Yorkie puppy with white on them? I know people have posted in the last few days about a white spot on their tummy, but what about their muzzle? I don't plan on getting a Yorkie from this breeder, but I was looking at her puppies just because I wanted to and some have white all over them. They aren't Biewers, they're Yorkies! On the site, the breeder says the white will go away and is already starting to, but there's a lot of white. I've never seen this before except on a mix puppy or a Biewer! Sorry if the pictures are big! http://www.countrytimekennel.com/pen...op_800x533.jpg http://www.countrytimekennel.com/spi...op_800x713.jpg http://www.countrytimekennel.com/2_girls_2_2_weeks.jpg Parents: http://www.countrytimekennel.com/kandac.jpg http://www.countrytimekennel.com/richy.jpg I was just curious! |

| I wouldn't trust anyone advertising a white Yorkie and charging so much! One of the other ones was advertised as a "blond yorkie" and turns out the father was a maltese. So she wants a couple thousand $$ for a puppy that isn't registerable! I wonder if the white one is really a maltese? Anyway, they don't sound scrupulous to me........ |

| I thought it was very suspisious, that is why I posted it. It is a cute pup but doesnt look purebred. Maybe I am wrong. But I have never seen another "white yorkie" what people will do to make a buck!

| Definitely a Maltese That puppy really does look part maltese. Maybe you're right, maybe one of the parents was a maltese! Compare her picture to a baby Maltese: Opal the "White Yorkie" http://www.divapup.com/Opala.jpg Maltese Puppy http://secure.terrificpets.com/image...0560212405.jpg Their hair texture and length is different, but they definitely have similarities! |

| Must be a mix with Maltese... I noticed one on there advertised as a male yorkie and it had a maltese dam.. I think this is a broker.

| I have a purebred parti-colored yorkie who is gold and white. Her picture is in my album. Both of her parents are AKC and carry the recessive genes for the gold and white. In the olden days these puppies were put to death just because they were not within the breed standard, but the fact is that the yorkshire terrier developed in the 1800s from many different kinds and colors of terriers so these "exotic" colors pop up every once in a while. They cannot be shown but they can be registered AKC if their parents are AKC. There are chocolates, parti-colored and others. You do want to see both parents and the papers on both if they are registered in order to confirm what the breeder is saying. I also heard, but could never find any evidence to support the contention, that the exotic colored yorkies may have more health problems. I think this was just an ecuse used by the breeders who "culled" these puppies in the past. My "breed standard" color puppy has a little bit of white on him in small areas as well. Not as much as the puppy you have the pics of though. The Biewer terrier was developed from a breeder in Germany realizing the beauty of these anomalies and deciding, rather than killing the puppies, to breed FOR the coloring. Biewers are not Yorkshire Terriers and are not yet recognized by AKC but they came from the yorkie and they have their own registration now and are shown under that registration. IMHO it really doesn't matter if a puppy is registerable or not if it is not to be bred or shown but is just for a pet. The price has to be determined by the demand as with any other commodity. If the puppy is absolutely adorable and healthy a lot of people will pay for that "cuteness" and not care about the registration. I went ahead and attached pics of my puppy and her parents! I think there are adorable puppies out there in everyone's price range which makes owning a little piece of "love" affordable for everyone! |

| I called Diva Pups to inquire about "Opal" but they were closed. I left my email address and asked if she was purebred or what so if they send me an answer I will post here tomorrow. |

| Inquiry I sent a puppy inquiry to the site. I asked if she was purebred, registered, to see pictures of her parents, etc. I'll post whatever they send me. I am almost positive this breeder is a broker because if you go to the website, there is a bar on the side to pick what type of dog you are looking for and there are 27 different breeds of dogs plus mixed breeds, "special price pups", and rescued pups. This is insane! |
