Rottweilers and Yorkies??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tinker'sMommy · 12-20-2007, 12:31 AM

I went to take Tinkerbell to the vet on Tuesday and there was a lady with a basket full of what I thought were Yorkies

They must've been about 1 week old or less

I asked her if they were yorkies and she looked at me crazy

.............Dont rottweilers and Yorkies look very similar at birth??

I just thought it was funny

I felt CRAZY there

AM I CRAZY?? or do they look alike??

Can you guess which ones are the Yorkies??

thats scary, i´m glad they don´t grow up the same!!

They do look alike! I would guess that the first pic is the rotties though?

littlewhip · 12-20-2007, 02:39 AM

Wow they do look a like, just bigger, cute

hha · 12-20-2007, 05:07 AM

I'd say the first ones were rotties, as look at their faces, they're a lot bigger..yes, they do look a lot alike when they're born, because of the same colors..

Miley's mom · 12-20-2007, 05:14 AM

Pretty much look a like as well with newborn german shepards, and I 'll say that the 1st pic is the rotties as they have lots of wrinkles around the mouth.

It's amazing how they much they change every week. It amazes me everytime I help whelp a litter how they look like rotties and dobies at birth and well for the first few weeks until they get fuzzy

The ones I saw at the vet's office were about the same size as Tinkerbell's babies when they about a week old........about 6-8oz

But I did feel dumb........because they were looking at me saying "yorkies?".........No, they are rottweilers

.............Oh well, I guess next time I will just look

You shouldn't feel dumb. Everyone KNOWS what rotts look like at birth because the look exactly the same when they are bigger, just not as cute. Most people don't realize that Yorkies look like they do at birth - my mom says that Yorkies are the ONLY dog that is born cute and just gets cuter everyday - can't argue with that logic!

When we first got Sophie my husband picked her because he said she looked just like a baby rotty. Except she's now cuter.

MyFairLacy · 12-20-2007, 09:51 AM

The first pic is the rottweilers

I once emailed a breeder about his Yorkie puppies and I asked him if he could send me some pictures. His reply was that Yorkie puppies looked like Rottweilers.

I agree!!

They do get cuter and cuter every day!!

And my guess is first pic is rottweilers.....

HMMMM, this explains a lot. I think my Edie might be a Rottweiler after all. She certainly has the attitude.

It has been great knowing you all, but I am going to have to move over to the "Rottie Talk" website.
