I have no problem with them being a pound over or slightly different in appearance. But to me, it is irresponsible breeders who simply want to make as much money as possible and don’t really care about “standards“. It was my own fault that I got a puppy that kinda looks like a yorkie. Has the right color and perked up ears. But extremely long legs, wavy to curly thick fur (not hair) and a large thick muzzle. No perked up nose here. And not the temperament or behavior of my previous yorkies. She is a wild child! My vet did not list her breed as a yorkie. She asked me if I thought she was a full blood yorkie.
We still love her and she gets lots of love and attention and toys. She will have a very good life. But is not the dog I had hoped for. |
Thank goodness you love her...so many people have your experience and then give up the pups.
As matese suggested, you could do a DNA test just so that you know.
