| Is My Puppy a Fraud? Here's a little background. We buoght our daughter a "Yorkie" for her birthday. When we went to pick Sassy up- I was shocked that she did not look like a typical yorkie. When I questioned the breeder- she showed me pictures of the daddy that looked almost exactly like Sassy. She had both mom and dad on site and they are very obviously Yorkies. She explained to me that the dad was very very slow in getting his hair, but she assured me that Sassy is indeed a Yorkie. My daughter had by this time fell in love with her- she is a sweet little thing. Now honestly- at this point- we are keeping her and we love her. But I am frustrated to think that she may never have the "yorkie look" that we wanted so badly. Please tell me what you think. I have seen posts on here about "red-legged" yorkies- could this maybe be what she is? If someone can tell me how to post pictures here- I have several to post. Thanks, Crystal |

| I don't think she's a yorkie but she sure is cute. The only thing that would worry me is if you spent a lot of money for her. Were there any other dogs besides the yorkies on the premises? Maybe the breeder had an oopsie? Regardless, she is adorable- enjoy her and welcome to YT!

| I don't think she's a Yorkie, though she is really cute. I just wish these BYBs would stop lying to people. They know the owner is going to fall in love with their puppy regardless, so they lie. That's just so not nice IMHO!! I hope you enjoy your puppy though, she's a sweetie. Welcome!

| To me it does not look like a full Yorkie... But I am not an expert... If you look at me picture on the right, she is about 17 weeks! She already has long hair that I can comb and put a bow on top of her hair... I hope you didn't pay the full price for her... She is cute though

| It doesnt matter if how much you paid for her! you didnt know. I honestly think she is mixed. Do you and your breeder have a contract? If you did want your money back im sure you could sue her but yall would have to do DNA testing not sure if you want to go through all of that or if it even matters. Just a option. she is still very cute tho. may i ask where her breeder lives? |

| Ugh- this is what I was afraid of! I keep trying to convince myself that she will turn into a yorkie any day, lol. The people that I bought her from were very, very nice. There were 5 puppies total in the litter. She actually had a pictue of the litter and Sassy was the only one that did not look like a typical yorkie. The mom and dad were the only two dogs at the house. Sassy was the only puppy left when we got there. I guess it is my fault for believing them. I saw the picture she was saying was the dad as a puppy, and I wanted to believe it. I even called back a few days later and told her that people just were not believing she was a yorkie and she was so emphatic that she really was a Yorkie. Like I said- it is no matter- my kiddos love her now- but truthfully- I really longed for a true Yorkie. Does anyone think she has any Yorkie in her at all? I guess it is true that Papers really don't mean anything! Crystal |

| You are correct about papers not meaning a thing. Sure looks like some chihuahua in her. There are so many dishonest people in the world, it is disheartening!!! I can feel your frustration. Did you pay alot for her?? |
