Okay, so this is still bugging me that I keep being told Sully is "bogus" and not a real Yorkie. I mean really! What is wrong with people? Why do they insist on making me feel bad instead of just saying..."cute dog".
Here's are the things that this last person pointed out to me:
1. His coat is not "silky".
2. He's too heavy - 10 pounds, 6 months
3. His nose is too long
4. His ears aren't pointy enough
5. His body is too long
6. And this one is really bumming me out....his "Certified Pedigree" Papers are not AKC but they are ACA and according to this person - ACA papers are just a hoax for BYB to pass off "bogus yorkies" to unsuspecting buyers. OMG - is this true?

I love Sully and wouldn't trade him for anything - but I really am wondering if I've been scammed. The "papers" I have go back 6 generations and all list "Yorkshire Terrier"... What am I missing?

PS - This person also said - he's an Austrailian Terrier.
