To the breeders following this thread...It's my understanding that if a puppy is mixed with another breed somewhere down the line (not necessarily just the mother and/or father), that there's a chance that the puppy could take on characteristics of the other breed. For example...if Minnie's grandfather is Min Pin, Minnie could have taken on traits from her grandfather. Because Minnie looks so far from the Yorkie standard, doesn't necessarily mean that her father is not a Yorkie. It might not be common, but maybe her grandfather just has really strong genes? Is that correct? Or am I totally off here? Sorry of it's a dumb question, but I'm just curious because the breeder says she bred 2 Yorkies. Minnie obviously does not look like the offspring of 2 pure bred Yorkies. Maybe Minnie got her traits from another relative? Hence, the bewilderment of the breeder. Obviously, there was no testing/pedigree research done. So the breeder was probably surprised by Minnie's physical characteristics. I'm curious what the brother, Mickey, looks like.
