My husband and I were sitting there staring at Derby's nose/stout going is it longer ? but this Yorkie at 3 pounds has the same nose as Derby? and this SIlky doesn't look anything LIKE Derby? and this one does? and so does this Yorkie? I mean at what point do you just say do we really CARE?... They look identical as puppies, and aside from size and length, how do you even tell? a DNA test? Our papers say Yorkshire and we paid $1000 for our "Yorkie", and he was the biggest of the litter and no one really wanted him
He was "cheap". He didn't have those tiny ears, and he wasn't standard sizing and the guy keeps growing. Maybe he's just a big guy! or maybe there is Silky in the family for all we know.
My husband set out to get a bigger Yorkie in the first place ('health reasons" and he didn't want a "pocket dog"), and that's exactly what we got. If you go and read the "What has your Yorkie done for you thread" You'll read my funny little story about how I was never a "dog person" until Derby came into our life. My husband surprised me this guy after I picked out what kind of dog I wanted off a list of possible small dog breeds offline. To make a long story short, I wanted a cat and said as long as our dog was the size of one! I would get a dog. (I have scars on my hand from being by a dog badly, you get the point)
At the end of the day, I love him and last night I spoiled him and let him sleep with on the couch! out of his bed! because I was sick with a fever and want cuddles... I can't imagine my life without him!!!
