Talk with the breeder..and the breeders vet..that should clear it up fast. When the breeder took the dam for a check after whelping, again for well puppy check-up before being sold etc..the vet would have had to give a health certificate with age etc. This pup should have some to you with a shot record and at 8 months it should be complete with rabies..no 12 week would have a complete shot record and rabies.

If your girl ahs not been clipped her coat will be much longer then a 12 weeks old..heads can start clearing at 8 weeks, so color on the head is not a good indication.
Post a pic if you can..best wishes

PS...a friend placed a 3 yr old male..the new vet said he thought the dog was at least 10 yrs. My friend got her vet to call the new vet..he was in perfect health, but lost two teeth on the bottom and the vet said no 3 yr old would have lost teeth so young..I guess he never saw a Yorkie before..it can happen!!..this male was only 3 pounds and he lost them after the last dental cleaning.
