It could very well be that her yorkie is a yorkie/silkie cross breed. Many BYBers are doing this and passing them off as yorkies.

Females are retired at age 5. Boys have a longer breeding life.

Other questions you could have asked was he AKC registered....26 off spring is not outrages. My 7 year old boy has been used 7 times and has a total of 17 offspring.
