Is that impossible in the dog world? Knowing that the Yorkshire Terrier is a result of many ancient breeds mixed together, is it not possible for some pups to come out with certain traits from ancestors?.....red legs, facial structure, no/ little hair? |
So... I don't know how comparable this is but it just popped in my head. Freshmen in college, I met bunch of new friends. Mostly Koreans. But there was this one girl that was non Korean, Anna. My best guess was that she was Hispanic. One night, we were all at a friend's room. I started saying something in Korean b/c I couldn't find the correct translation. Then Anna replied in Korean. She spoke Korean fluently. I was totally shocked and I asked when she learned. Apparently, she was full Korean. We all thought she was joking so she ended up getting her family picture from her room to show us. I ended up carefully asking if she was adopted. She just laughed and said no. And she understands our reaction b/c she gets it all the time.
Obviously, we weren't going to ask for DNA proof. LOL But unless her parents did adopt her and have been lying to her, as far as I believe, she is indeed full Korean. But seriously, there was NO asian in her as far as looks were concerned. You would have NEVER guessed she was asian.
