I keep searching and found Lola who was a mix but at 4 months I could tell had a lot of yorkie look in her. Contrary to what it may feel like there are puppies out there between 3 and 6 months.
Jack Russels are wonderful highly energetic dogs, but are bigger and have much different hair than yorkies. Goggle Jack Russels and JR mixes as ADULTS, if you are happy with that look then go for this puppy, but if you heart is set on the look of a yorkie than I would pick a different one. When selecting a puppy you have to remember two things, the puppy look only lasts for about 7 months and if you are lucky you get to live with the adult dog about 12 years or even longer. So don't by a dog based on what they look like as a puppy but by what they will look like full grown |
Thank you so much for all your advice and also your information on the Yorkie breed
You have been quite helpful
I now have looked at the Yorkie Russel mix and have gotten a better idea of what he may look like. I'm a dog lover in general so I know that I will fall in love with him. Although I have always wanted a Yorkie... I coukd always save up as both of you suggested and get a Yorkie in the future. I will keep you all updated with pics and info...
I can't wait until I get him home.
