I came across your post and wanted to ask what Ela looks like now. My 6 month old Yorkie looks exactly like Ela when she was 6 months old and I, too wondered if he was a pure Yorkie even though he has AKC papers. I googled his description; textured hair, deep black and rusty red coloring, long pointed muzzle. The red legged and wire hair Yorkshire Terrier came up and stated this description matched the original Yorkie in England. These dogs have little hair on the head and grow a shorter coat. They maintain the deep coloring and do not change. I found this very interesting and thought seeing Ela now at over a year old would perhaps confirm that Ela and my dog, Basil are a throw back to the original Yorkie.
