Danny I don't think he will look like the pups pictured in your photos, did you see the parents or just get the pics. Even if you saw those two dogs in person it does not mean they were the parents. I really doubt that those two pups were both used to breed your dog, maybe one, but I don't think both. You have been here only a short time but you will soon find out that there are a lot of very deceitful people breeding dogs like yorkies, I have seen so many new members like yourself be lied to by breeders that even can produce some AKC papers if asked. A purebred yorkie from a decent backyard breeder sells for around $800.00 A purebred pet quality yorkie from a show breeder averages around $1,500.00, Show quality dogs are pretty much $2,000.00 and up. Of course these are just averages and prices vary by where you live. But it gives you an idea of the pricing, which you may or may not already know. I also think his ears are to large to ever stand up. Take a picture of someone holding one of the ears up, it would give us a better idea what we are talking about. When he is happy does his ears ever stand up, often that will happen if they are capable of eventually standing up. Have you goggled yorkie puppy images, if not do that and try to go on web sites of breeders that show, this will give you and idea of what a yorkie puppy should like. I have bought several yorkies from show breeders in the past and I have to say the majority looked very similar to each other. it is only in the last 4 or 5 years that I keep seeing yorkie puppies that to me look nothing like the puppies I saw from years of talking with breeders and attending shows. I have a mix which I love, but I think that there have been to many people breeding mixes calling them purebreds and some of the people that are buying them are breeding them possibly thinking they are purebreds or just not caring. The internet has made it very easy for people to sell outside of their own community so I think this has caused the quality and honesty to go way down. Sorry for my long post, I just feel bad when good people like yourself get their hopes up and are excited that they have a yorkie puppy only to come on this board and be told by so many that is not the case. I am glad that in spite of what your puppy may be a mix of that you seem to love him already, because he is a cutie.
