The lady we got her from had lots of little yorkies in the house and no other breeds and she came with AKC papers. So I'm sure she is a pure Yorkie. Most of her Yorkies were the longer bodied dogs.
She does have a cute personality and loves everyone and seems to be real smart. But she isn't the kind of dog I wanted.
We named her Pumpkin Spice, because we got her on Halloween. We will call her Punkin or Punky. I think Scarey Mary may have been a better name.
I have to make myself keep thinking that now the hubby has a pup to love in place of his beloved Ruby. And think maybe she will grow into her body and at least she has a real cute personality. I guess I'll get used to her. |
Oh no!!! I'm sorry you're not in love w/ your new baby right away
I bet you'll learn to love her though! I have a Silky Terrier, which is like a Yorkie only longer and she looks like what you described your new baby as looking like. IMO she's kinda funny looking, but she's just too cute and sweet and I love her so much and wouldn't trade her for the world (or a cuter dog, as I sometimes tease her). Maybe it'll help you if you try bonding with her by brushing her hair or dressing her up or teaching her a trick? Good luck!!!
