So alot of Yorkie-lovers out there go "Oh is he a Yorkie mix?" and after that many questions, after the guy keeps growing, after everyone looks at him confused that he's a yorkie- my husband has said for the last while "Do you think he could be mixed with Jack Russel? Wired hair maybe?"
So i googled.
Now, we know that we got Derby "cheap" and being uneducated people we were (at the time) when I was surprised with a "Yorkie" I didn't think much of it. I loved him no matter what! He looked like a Yorkie to me! I asked YT and they said Yorkie! The more he grows the more people go... are you SURE? No, No we're not SURE! And the breeders? The email no longer works to even send them updated pictures!
He's a healthy happy doggy, and we love him regardless but there's always that thought in the back of my head of "Why doesn't he look like other Yorkies? Why does everyone think he's mixed? Why are we even questioning this?" It doesn't matter to us because we love him, but identity matters
I saw this picture of a mix and boy, does it ever look like the Derbsters!

And if you go to this page
Yorkie Russell Information, Yorkie Russells, Yorkie Jack Russell Hybrid You'll see various Yorkie/Russell mixed and if you look further down the page (the dark haired "Ponca" (with his littermate) and the other pictures of Ponca it reminds me SO MUCH of Derby!!
Any other info on Yorkie/Russell crosses???
Anyone have one??
How Do you know if you have one??
God any pictures to show me???
