Nancy so far you have been the best at answering my questions. I know some of the things I'm about to post are repeatign what you said but I already had this typed up from earlier so I'm just going to paste it here.

I'm not really questioning her being purebreed or not. I am going to look into the DNA thing because they just sounds wonderful to get a solid answer. I can't call anyone a liar or stand my own ground without it at this point really. From ever piece of info I have read on they state she can be a Purebreed yorkie, she's just a "cirus freak" type is the harsh way to say it. She has a genetic birth trait that has shown up after a few litters. Pretty much like out of 5 sisters they have brown eyes, brown hair and you have blue eyes, blonde hair. Which in that case isn't bad but you see what I'm saying. It's not really a birth defect just a triait that has snuck up on her. The only thing I have found to super support my case on her being a yorkie is the genetic trait the vet and I talked about and this statement "A mouse look or a Chihuahua look on a Yorkie is a bad thing." It was taken from this passage about why some yorkies cost more than others....

"1) A-Pups are priced by the breed they are, by the estimated adult size they may become, being male or female, and how many short features they have. Yorkies having short ears, legs, snout, and or body makes that pups cost higher. Yorkies having short or poor hair length, long snouts, big ears, or being heavy as a pup, makes a pup cost less, bigger is cheaper. A mouse look or a Chihuahua look on a Yorkie is a bad thing. Baby Doll features add to the cost. 2 lbs grown and under will always be the most expensive puppy."

I've only read about a handful of people who even have dogs come out like this. I agree she doesn't look yorkie and I'm sure most yorkie breeders find her to be an abomination which shouldn't be classified as yorkie. Even if the parents were AKC, the AKC would chew this dog up and spit her out. I'm not fighting over rights on any of that or downgrading her for being CKC.

Which also brings up that CkC is for Continental Kennel Club not like AKC for American Kennel Club. Not CKC for Canada, even though I know that is a branch. In AKC they have to be 99% perfect and they have to be AKC for show approval. AKC has ver strict guidelines. CKC is a lot easier and cheaper on the breedered to do and less hassle on them. You can convert a dog frm AKC to CKA *stupid move if you do convert like that* but you can. But you can never go from CKC to AKC. If your dog is CKC and mates with AKC the pups have to be CKC , AKC will not reconize this. CKC only has one downfall in my eyes... You can take 3pics of your dog at front, and both sides, and send in the pics and 2 signatures and guess what your mixed dog can now be ckc reg. LoL I can always take pix of Pixie and get her AKC as a chi lol JK JK JK but in all seriousness that's the big downfall with CKC to me.

I'm shady on the fact I do have to wait for the papers and I wouldn't have requested them if she did look more yorkie like. However the breeder doesn't register them because she was loosing money because she realized no one ever really asked for paperwork. (This is southen WV/VA area a lot of us backwoods folks don't care about that stuff or even understand it.)

My main point is I just want to know what she will look like in the future but as it seems I'm just going to have to wait it out. I am waiting on the paper work and I am going to go look up DNA testing and call the vet on monday to see what they charge for it.

If I was scammed, then I'm cool with it. I feel like a jackass but at the same time my family and I have fallen in love with her. She fits in perfect with all of us so in that sense I'm cool with it all. I just want answers and I'm going to have to keep searching. Thanks for everything

I'm pretty sure the breeder has been lying to you, I'm not sure she was ever even registered with the CKC because she could have gotten the papers for free, once they are registered, what she may be doing is waiting for people to complain, and then registering a dog, she can do it at any point and for that matter so can you, but that's why the name means nothing. AKC breeders can also mislead you, that's why it's important to see for yourself the mother and father of the breeding pair. The pups will resemble the mother and father, and that's why it good that both sides of the family are good examples.

You sound like you are getting a good education, and this happens to many who come here. I was lucky to find Yorkietalk before I found a breeder, but most of our members find their dog first. DNA testing I think is expensive, around $100.00, how much did you pay for your dog? I hate breeders like this, she knows you are probably in love with your dog, and would never give it back, but she shouldn't be charging the same as other breeders.
