Default Yorkie History

He is a perfect little dog. If your not going to breed him it doen't matter what his weight is. Now for the question. Is he 100% Yorkie. Study the history of the Yorkie Breed and you will find that breeders have been tweeking these dogs for the past 100 years. Old genes pop up from time to time presenting some of their ancestry. I know a breeder in Portland who has 23 dogs on property, all from very good stock, and no 2 dogs look or present the same. I've been told and have since observed that 25% of progeny actually develop the show ring coat. You will find variations in coat texture and pigment.

His ears do seem a bit large, and his snout looks wide but I think that is the photo not the real dog, lenses tend to do that up close.

My Rocky's hair had a curl to it until he was one. He is now 2-1/2 right at 7lb, which he hit a 8 months, and his coat has changed twice, he is finally turning blue, and clearing the black in front of his ears.
