I brought it up to my vet and he said it happens that before they were breed to be small they were 25 lb dogs. So i dropped it. He is now 7 months and weighs 11 lbs and is perfectly healthy. Three weeks ago i noticed he didnt have the big round eyes most of his yorkie friends have. And that his back is longer then theres. Soo we went into the vet and did a blood test. Turns out he is a pure breed silky terrier. So the papers were wrong and my vet. I say if you really wanna know get blood work done. Thata the only sure way to tell. |
Welcome to YT, I would love to see some pics of your pup. I am sure you love your little guy as you should, but I am curious how you feel about the pet store. Have you been back to tell them of their mistake. Pet stores normally charge an arm and a leg for dogs so I would hope they were made aware of this. I have a yorkie mix and I paid accordingly for her, but it does really upset me when someone sells a dog at a yorkie price that is later found out not to be a yorkie.
