This is what I was going to suggest.

Sweetie, Minnie is obviously very loved by you no matter what. And she is the cutest little thing. I love her coloring and her sweet face!

I know you want to believe in your heart that she is a Yorkie, but you have experts (experienced Breeders and Showers of Yorkies) telling you that Minnie is not a pure Yorkie. She probably does have Yorkie in her, but she looks very much like a Miniature Doberman Pincher to me and to a lot of us. Also, that pic that was posted above of the Chorkie - that looks a lot like Minnie.

With all of that said, you can get closure by getting a DNA kit and having her tested.

Or you can keep it in your heart that she is a Yorkie, but if you want to keep that in your heart, you shouldn't ask us because we are not going to say that she is. It's kind of like my "Sheltie" - my big boy, Shelby-Dale, was sold to me as a bi-black Sheltie. I had CKC papers saying he was (found out years later that CKC is worthless). Anyway, many think he is mixed with Lab or Border Collie. I've always said that one day I will do a DNA test to find out, but I haven't. I mean, what does it hurt to believe he is a Sheltie, right? As long as I am not trying to sell him or breed him - he's just "My Sheltie". Right?

Your Minnie is whatever you want her to be. But if you want to hold onto your beliefs, don't solicit opinions that are going to contradict your beliefs
