She definetly looks like a Yorkie to me, and like you said it does not matter what she is!!! But if people are really bothering you because of her size tell them that Yorkies come in all sizes, and that Yorkies while many are tiny, and all Yorkies are beautiful, are not suppossed to be tiny frail little dogs. That the Yorkie is supposed to be a small, spirited and proud terrier and that the breed standard as set by the AKC states that they are to weigh between 4-7 pounds and that most dogs in the show ring are on the upper end of that. Responsible breeders do not breed their dogs to be overly tiny! 10 pounds is pretty close to the breed standard, so hey I would not worry about it. |
I have two, they are very different, people are always asking what kind of dog Chloe is because she is bigger and has light coloring. The little one looks like the "typical" yorkie, if there is such a thing. small, short legs, straight body, black and tan coloring. They are both yorkies and loved equally. Your dog is beautiful and looks good regardless. |
I just checked out that website and it says Silky's have silky hair. Well Nala's hair is far from silky, it doesn't get matted but it is very cottony. So if she was a silky she wouldn't have this type of hair right?? I'm only asking b/c I don't want to tell someone this and be wrong. |
I've noticed the bigger Yorkie tend to have a little longer nose and body. My Gizmo weighs 9 pounds and he looks alot different from Zoey, both are AKC Yorkies. Your baby looks 100% yorkie to me. |

Sorry for your loss. |
She's a beautiful yorkie. She looks like an angel to me. ;) |
I am no dog breed expert. If you love her, that's all that counts. |
If she looks like a yorkie ( and she does and is very pretty also), acts like a yorkie and smells like a yorkie ----- must be one.lol All kidding aside, she looks like a beautiful yorkie to me (I'm no expert). My yorkie weighs 12 pounds and is silver and blond. I don't care if he is sky blue pink and half elephant and half racoon.lol :) |
SHE IS SO PRETTY!!!!! YOU ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HER! JOY, NIKKI AND BABY CHLOE :aimeeyork :animal-sm |
Nala is all yorkie! You tell 'em I said so and they can shut up!! Seriously though, tell them that you are 100% sure after checcking with several "expert" authorities and leave it at that. |
I think she is a beautiful happy yorkie!!! :D |
Act extremely upset that they don't recognize for the wonderful example of a bred-down toy Rottie. Tell them they should see her mum and dad,,over 100 pounds each. "Aren't I lucky to have gotten one this size?" Old women like me get by with a lot of tongue-in-cheeck stuff so I use that..They are rude. Maybe you could say to them "Oh, I didn't realize that your dog was a real Yorkie. Are you really sure??" I am so mean.. |
Looks like a yorkie to me! Next time they make snide comments like that...obviously to piss you off...show them the CKC papers! A friend of mine use to ALWAYS make comments when we got our deer chihuahua. "THAT ISN'T A REAL CHIHUAHUA...SHE ISN'T FULL BLOODED...LOOK AT HOW TALL SHE IS...HER FACE ISN'T A CHIHUAHUA'S FACE IT'S TOO LONG...I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU PAID MONEY FOR HER". I told her that the lady advertised her as full blooded but even I thought that she was mixed with rat terrier. I saw the parents and I know that the daddy was full chihuahua and momma was probably half. She just couldn't leave it alone. Almost like she had to prove something. Use to make me so mad! I didn't care what she was mixed with! She was our baby! |
