I hate to break it to you, but I think your pup may be mixed with chi. By 11-12 weeks they should have very fluffy hair. Even my Uni who does not have a lot of thick hair, at 12 weeks when I got her, her hair was like an afro around her head. Also her roots were changing color already too to silvery.

Also CKC doesn't mean anything. (Unless it's the Canadian one I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong). Same with ACA, APRI. If it's not AKC those papers aren't worth anything. It's just a made up registry to make people think a doggie has papers, but in fact they are worthless. Before I knew any better, I sent in Uni's ACA papers, and yes, the breeder did not have the "papers" ready when I got her. I was lucky she sent me anything. Although Uni turned out good, despite her grade3 LP, b/c my breeder was a small byb.

I'm thinking most likely this breeder mixed up pups from different litter and said they were littermates. Also most yorkies at this age their ears are still down, esp for the size of the ears. Uni's ears are HUGE for a yorkie and they took a while to stand up.

I know this won't make you love your pup any less, but perhaps there is a chance this breeder did not tell you the truth. If you got a mix, but paid for a purebred, then you were scammed. there are reasonably priced dna kits available now if you REALLY want to know. In any case, she is really adorable.
