Honestly, there is no way to know for sure if she is a purebred Yorkie. Mixed breed Yorkie pups often look just like a full bred Yorkie when they are pups. It is when they start to mature that you clearly see the differences.

Did you see both parents and are you quite sure these people are being truthful with you? Do they have other dogs in the home? Do they plan on having another litter. There are ways of rooting out a dishonest breeder if you know the right questions to ask.

The pup appears small for 8 weeks. Under sized pups are notorious for having digestive problems when they are brought home. I hope they will let her stay with the litter until she is at LEAST 12 weeks and has been eating solid food for several weeks. Otherwise you could be opening yourself up for major (and very expensive) problems.
