My Lola has a very similar face and ppl ask me ALL THE TIME if she is a mix. one time somebody told me she was a yorkie and french poodle mix  .
I payed the same amount of money for her than must yorkies cost, she is 4.05lbs and almost 3 yrs old. One breeder told me that the "long nose" was the standard and that these new "doll face" yorkies with mushed noses are not breed to standard and that they are "mixed or breed" differently so they can have that short nose.
i sm not gonna lie, i like the short nose better than the longer one, but it gets annoying not knowing what to say to ppl when they ask me what kind of mix lola is or even worse : WHAT KIND OF DOG SHE IS!   |
Nikki was found on the streets of Chicago several years ago, an elderly lady adopted him and then had a stroke. I took him for her when she went to a nursing home. They have both since passed on. So we don't know for sure what he was. He could grow coat to the floor and had a gorgeous coat. I thought he might be mixed with silky also but others thought he was all yorkie. I always thought the longer nose was the terrier in them and in more recent times they were breeding for a shorter muzzle, not the more pushed in but not as long as Nikki's.
