| Please i have a yorkie Question... Ok, i have been rackin my brain worrying about this now for a while.. Ok i have a yorkie that i bought in Brooklyn, NY from a breeder store. She is now 1 years old (in december). The thing is one, her hair is curly and not straight the way i hear yorkies suppose to have them, also, her ears are droppy and hang over, they always have. Why is this? Is this normal? Im going to try to post a pic of her later. Also she weight 9 pounds, its that alot for a yorkie and they claim she is full breed but how with curly hair and 9 pounds? Please if anyone knows about this, share your thoughts. Anyone else get a puppy from here? Puppy Boutique in Brooklyn, ny |

| Some yorkie have droopy ear and I think it is pretty cute. They will always look like puppy, if you ask me. The weight can be vary. Small one to larger yorkie. 9 lb is little big side but not unheard of. Curly hair is something I'm not sure of. Do you have AKC paperwork on your baby??? |

| My Zoe has super curly hair, so did her parents and I've seen other yorkies at my local meetup that doesn't have that super straight hair. |

| She looks like a bigger yorkie to me. She might have some silky in her blood tho. Don't worry she is just beautifull!!!I know that You'll love her no matter how big she will get, or what color and texture is here hair. She is your baby, and that is all that matter. I know it might be dispointing, when you are paying a lot of money to get "pure breed yorkie" and she ends up beeing bigger and diffrent looking than breed standard say, but she is now Your doggie, and I'm sure that you'll not get rid of her to replace her with more " perfect " dog.

What the heck happened? I tried to edit my post and now it says this? What I had posted was that your baby is a cutie. Many of us here have yorkies that are not breed standard. I have a 9 lb girl and I have to work the blowdryer pretty hard to get her hair straight. Also- Welome to YT!

| Oh she is really cute!! Just looks like a Yorkie a little bigger than standard to me. Peanut has wavy hair if I do not blow dry it all the way after her bath. My daughter once dried her for me...BAD idea! I couldn't believe how wavy her hair is naturally. Toby has LARGE ears that stand up...Peanut has smaller ears that only stand up a little.
