I have one of each, and you're right, there is a BIG difference in their appearance!

My husband got Dublin for me from a breeder that was refered to him by someone that he worked with. The breeder/broker got them from her sister who has a farm in Ireland. (I know now about the puppymills in Ireland, but I really don't think thats the case here, because while she sells several breeds, she rarely has pups. Haven't listed Yorkies since I got Dublin in May.)

My BYB dog, Dublin, is hearty at over 10lbs (paid more for him because he was supposed to be under 7lb ) has what I guess it would be the teddy bear face. And while he still has a short puppy coat, its thick and dark on the back with gray underneath. His face and legs are a reddish gold. AND he has a bad underbite!

My breeder dog,The Widget, is from Sylvan and is a sprite 4+lbs (my adorable WeeMidget!) and has a delicate little face that is more pointed. At a little over a year old her coat is already long fine and very soft and silky. Her back is silver and her face and legs are a beautiful gold.

Its like Jethro Bodine meets Morgan Fairchild!

While I find them both wonderful, and I adore them both with all of my heart, they are almost like different yet similar breeds...

BTW, I paid the same amount for both of them, but Dublin is probably going to cost me more for braces or dental work!

Edited to add, I have absolutely no interest in breeding, I just wanted loving companion pets, given that I'd say I succeeded!
