I am not expert on Yorkie breeders or breeding. In fact, even though I got my pups from a breeder, it was through connections who knew I was looking for a rescue. My pups were almost a year old when I got them, so they typical Yorkie buyers had passed them by.

To answer part of your question, I will say that my pups are from the same litter and they do not look a whole lot alike!

They have a similar coat type, but their color is different and their body types are different. I met the parents and my little boy looks like a copy of his dad. My little girl looks nothing like anyone in her family, except that she appear to have a similar body type to her mother, who is about two pounds bigger than the father---my pups are about a pound difference in weight.

In the case of my pups, I know that there is some parti-Yorkie in there somewhere (maybe from one of the grandparents) so this accounts from my little girl's coloring, which is lighter than that of a typical Yorkie. I was really surprised by how different they are, but I based on my limited experience, I wouldn't be worried if a pup looks different than other family members.

I love them both exactly as they are, and the one thing I was able to observe with the parents was the loving and joyful nature that each had. I can see this shining through in my pups, which for me is the most important thing!
