Last week I got a puppy from a local flea market (where tons of people come & sell items/animals/etc.) I had to get him out of the place he was at. It was rather nasty.. just pitiful. The people told me it was a yorkiepoo, and he was 10 weeks old. He had no papers, which I knew I should have got them.. but I just fell in love with him. I took him to the vet the next day and she told me he seemed much younger than 10 weeks because he's small (2lb4oz) and he likes to bite at things; she said she believes it to be younger mainly because that shows maybe he was taken away at an early age so his mother/siblings couldn't teach him not to bite. She also said he could just very well be the "runt". He got his shot & worming medicine, and she said he was healthy, except the poor pup had canine lice, which had caused him to lose some hair-- so she treated him with Frontline, and it's working pretty good. He's getting a lot better, and he's super fiesty and completely loveable... and he's already using the puppy pads, so that's a plus, lol. My mother says he doesn't look like a yorkiepoo to her.. though I have heard that most don't really look alike.. what do you think? Oh, we named him Onyx because he's black. :P

Just copy/paste the links.. I'm not sure how to upload a picture correctly, but I'll try to figure it out

Congratulations and welcome to YT.
Onyx is sooooo cute! His face looks like he is a yorkie and his coloring could be from the poodle. You're right, not all yorkiepoos look alike. Some lean more towards the yorkies side and some lean towards the poodle sides. It varies from litter to litter.
