She looks like a yorkie but like others have said not bred to the standards of a show dog, but for $450.00 you would not expect that. Dogs that come from show type breeders will cost over $1,500.00. She is a cutie though and will change in looks over time. Someone else suggested to have her vet checked including blood work. I did that when I bought my last puppy, not that it ruled out everything but it was nice to see things like her liver numbers were normal. Liver shunt is just one problem that seems to show up in the yorkie breed. The better breeders will test the breeding pair against things like that but the majority of times those that breed for a hobby or for extra cash will not. My pup is a mix and I paid the same as you. Before I fell head over heals for her I had her tested everyway I could, lucky for me her reports came back good, and each year I have them run again and so far at 3 years she is healthy as can be. So needless to say I got way more than I paid for, because to my husband and I she is priceless, I wish you the same luck. And welcome to Yorkie Talk |
