My yorkie is almost three yrs old and was just given to us by a family member who could no longer care for her. I have always wanted one, so I jumped at the chance and fell madly in love with my Princess. Niece kept saying she had the papers but could never find them, but swore she paid $400 in Amish country for her. Not planning on breeding, I didnt care, but wanted the papers anyway, since they did exist. Fast forward to now, and find out they arent the papers, it is only the application. She never sent out the application. I will have to pay $80 or so to get a limited registration, as she is OBVIOUSLY not show quality, and why bother, since I dont believe she is full bred yorkie anyway. She has hair of yorkie, face of yorkie, coloring of shnauzer. Groomer says same thing. Anyone could put anything on a piece of paper, does the AKC check it, or just take the breeders word for it. Unless I was to do DNA testing, how am I to know what I really have anyway. All I know is I love this dog, and I am glad to have her birthday info, but I dont really hold any of the other info on that application to be worth the paper it was written on.
