You can also get a dna kit from AKC on their website
American Kennel Club - akc.org. This has nothing to do with your adorable puppy, she is yours and you lover her. What it will do is put a stop to breeders who are not reputable. Think about the next person who purchases a puppy they think is a yorkie and then breeds.
I feel strongly about this subject because my first yorkie was purchased from a lady who told me she was selling the puppies for a "sick friend." Trying to save a little money (not much) I bought her from an ad in the paper and did not research nor did I insist on seeing at least the dam. It never occured to me that she was a puppy broker. I should have seen red flags when the puppies looked like they were different ages but I fell in love at first sight. When I took my puppy to the vet, he inquired where I got her. He looked at the papers and told me she came out of another state (known for puppy mills) and not to take it too hard. He told me to think of it as a rescue and she is now in a good home. She is a purebred but when I went to register her I got a nice letter from AKC telling me a dna test had been done on a littermate and either the sire or dam was not a match. The lady must have gotten the papers from the litters mixed up. Someone else must have gotten suspicious and had the test done. We love her and she has been the best dog and queen of our home for 11 years now. I did not pursue getting money back because I was told it may require returning the puppy. She is our child and I was not willing to do that. I never intended to breed but the papers were kind of a birth certificate to me and I was very upset. In hindsight I should have pursued getting some reimbursement as I paid a price for a registered yorkie.
I just got my second yorkie puppy before Christmas and I did my research on the breeder this time.
In the end, take it as far as you are comfortable. Just love your beautiful new baby and know that you have given her a good home.
