Thank you everyone who replied. The results are in today. She is not even a Yorkshire Terrier.

She is half Silky Terrier and the other half is a Shih Tzu mix. The DNA was taken by a Wisdom Panel blood sample.

So, needless to say, we are very upset and are going to be contacting the breeder this evening and going to her house for a full refund. I will keep you updated on the results of our efforts. I believe what she did is illegal and we can fight it.

Now we feel unsatisfied because we didn't really get what we wanted. So, we are thinking about buying a second dog that is 100% Yorkshire Terrier. We wouldn't have thought to get a second dog, we really just want one Yorkie.

But, since Nibbler has become part of the family, we can't part with her.

Can anyone advise me as to where to find a legit Yorkie? I found my breeder on puppyfind.com. Is AKC registration 100% legitimate? How does AKC verify that puppies are purebred?

Thank you,
Anastasia
