Ack! I say who cares? I've never had a yorkie that fit the breed standard anyway, so I'm not a real good judge but I say he looks yorkie-ish enough to me to call him one. And yeah he might grow into a teapot, but that's just more yorkie to love. My first little guy did look just like a yorkie except he grew proportionately to a chubby little 11-12 pounder and he was absolutely adorable in appearance and demeanor. When we lost him last October at 16, a little rescue guy landed right in our laps and we decided to adopt him in our Scooby's honor. Ranger was already about two, so we knew what we were getting. A chubby little 12.5 pounder with floppy ears, short stubby legs and a long body. He is probably either a poorly bred yorkie or maybe he's mixed with a little something else. He does have long, beautiful hair and the mischievous yorkie spark. But he needed a home and now he's got one and I call him my porkie yorkie. You will love your pup no matter what he looks like when he grows up. I think he's adorable!
