If the breeder did it, I would check with AKC to make sure they are legitimate papers. Also, some unscrupulous breeders have been know to register pups from another litter/other parents under registered parents.*Regardless, she is an adorable pup.Me either..her muzzle too, seems more round like a chihuahua and less pointy like a Yorkie.

It's possible that the database is flawed and it's also possible that this little one is the end result of repeated breeding of off- standard dogs. |

I recommend starting at page 25. All the stuff before that is mostly drama
that is unrelated to the actual scientific info. But, from page 25 to the end, it addresses all the questions and concerns mentioned above, and a bunch more. If you are interested in science or genetics, it is actually a very interesting read (again, after page 25 only
)
