If it is a purebred yorkie, it looks like it will have a coarser coat that will have trouble growing. The puppy looks sickly to me. You have to be very careful with Petfinder.com While there might be a few good breeders on there, most of them you want to stay away from

I thought she looked like a mix also...Her legs were long for a little yorkie if you ask me, and her coat looked to short. I'm no expert but I would look around a bit.

Hey Gang! Thanks for all of your help! I've decided to keep looking and guess what? I found one maybe 2 hours from my house! He's full and he's a doll. If I can figure out how to post his pix I will and the breeder is very nice so I dont have to worry bout supporting a puppy mill!

I can't be convinced that she is a purebred Yorkie - if I were you, I would pass...but that is just me.

Regardless, she is cute - looks kinda sad in the picture though

Oh good! THe pup on puppyfind was cute, but looked like a possible mix breed. I looked at the "all listings" for that breeder and her sister looked about the same as her and her brother looked kind of big. Anyway, glad you decided against buying her and sure do look forward to seeing the puppy you will be getting. Congrats!
