 What do you think?
We adopted Cody about 2 months ago from a family who didn't want to keep him. At that time he was 3 months old and the family had another dog that wouldn't accept him, so they kept them separate. They apparently bought him from a BYB at about 8 weeks. Originally we wanted to adopt a shelter puppy but there weren't any "small" puppies in our area so we were really interested in Cody. He didn't have papers but we didn't really care. So we got him and he is absolutely adorable and we love him unconditionally.
After we adopted him, we were given a paper that had the name and address of the orignal owner/breeders. I sent them a letter about Cody and received a response with pictures of his parents. The family was apparently a BYB and originally from South America. With a little language difficulty, I learned that the father was a Yorkie from South America (from Champion lines???). No real info about the mother although the owners indicated that she was a "Yorkie" but I'm not sure. The father was supposedly 6 lbs and the mother about 10 or 11 lbs. So my question, I'm attaching pictures of the parents and Cody, what do you think? Cody is about 9-1/2 lbs at 5 months. He is longer than he is high which makes me think he may be part Silkie (thank you to those on the Silkie thread, I had never considered a Silkie). I think he has his mother's face (i.e. a longer nose and eyes). The vet says that he will be about 10-11 lbs.
