How to tell which puppy will have a pixie look? I hope that wasn't confusing. There are two different looks for yorkies. Cute little pixie look and then one that has a bigger face. How do you tell when they are puppies what they will look like? |

I have to agree with Nancy :) |
Not sure which look you call a pixie look. I think those with short broad noses have more of a teddy bear look and those with the narrower noses look more fox like. I prefer the short broad nose. |
What's the difference? and I mean pictures please!!!!:D:D:D I didn't know there are different looks. |
Brenda it's me Lisa. I didn't know you were on here. I have been a member for a long time. I love this place. I will still see you tomorrow. |
I don't know how to put photos on here so I will use user pics. Jeanie K has a rotating pic of an all tan with a red bow. That is what I call a pixie. Brenda, will she look like Daisy?? |

Will she be the same coloring?? Sorry for all the questions. You'd think I was adopting a child. Well, actually I am. These are my babies. Maybe God knew what He was doing by not giving me kids!!!! |
I think I just figured it out. There aren't different looks. The smaller ones have smaller faces therefore look like pixies. I AM NOT A BLONDE. I color my hair for a reason!!! |
Clemantine, I totally understand where you are coming from. I researched many months before choosing where to get my girl from. In doing so, I discovered the different looks too. I do believe it is the short nose, small eyes and small ears that prompt the baby doll face look. I think my girl has that look too, but she is not wee tiny, she is a healthy 4.4 lbs. This is my 1st yorkie and we are loving evey minute of it! They certainly are a different breed and they take your heart. God lov'em all. |
Perella, You have a cutie little girl. My second yorkie is 8 lbs., therefore she doesn't have the tiny face. But she is cute and is starting to love to cuddle. |
My Pixie has the "Pixie" look. She has a tiny, short nose, and bigger eyes. I got her as an adult so I don't know what she looked like as a baby. |
Bailey has a teddybear face - short nose and big eyes. click on my name and youll see her baby pic. :) |

You can have parents with a longer muzzle throw a pup with the shorter muzzle, and vise versa. I see it all the time. I've also seen a shorter muzzled pup have the muzzle grow as he matured :p If you post a picture I may be able to tell you. Welcome to YT!!!! :):):) |

Dominant...although we had bred a short to a long and got all short, but one. Depends on whos genes are stronger |

I don't know if the foreface is a from a single gene...it may be. The only point I'm trying to make is that not all recessive traits follow suit like the pie-bald gene, which we're all more familiar with (as in 2 partis bred together will only produce partis). Like in the case of coat texture. All the characteristics of an ideal Yorkie coat are from recessive genes. But it wouldn't be true at all to say that you will get 100% silky coats so long as you bred 2 dogs with a silky coat together. |
