On his CKC papers it says he's pure yorkie.
Forgive my pics. I was trying to take them with my phone and my little booger would NOT stay still! The one with the orange around him is a pic she sent me and thats what he looked like last week. |
The circle of short hair and dark coloring around the mouth and nose looks to be what some breeders call a "mouse face". The hair is much shorter and looks to be darker around the nose. This gives the puppy a mousey appearance. I have seen it in both show and pet lines. It will eventually grow out.
