Help.....!! I think the baby pup Im supposed to pick up on the 31st is not a yorkie but a silky...I've attached a picture. Someone please give me some input..i think she is cute but I want a yorkie. I think I can still back out of this deal, please help???:( Lisa http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...syMae08003.jpg |
Aww, what a cute puppy... are you really going to back out because it is not the right color/coat? |

It's not about the color of her coat...I really like her color, but her head and body are not a yorkie.. I read tonite that silkies are an entire different breed according to AKC:mad: ...I'm really disappointed... I really want a yorkie and my husband met this lady just this week and paid the small amount for the pup and after I saw her mom I just know she is not a yorkie but a silkie. '' I have really been waiting for a yorkie and I think this was impulsive on my part so please be kind. I feel horrible that this has happened. But I probably will back out even if i lose a deposit because I dont want a silkie,,,I want a yorkie. I hope that doesn't sound spoiled...I just had my heart set. |
you would be suprised at the amount of people here who are waiting for the "right one". he/she will come around when you least expect it.:hug: |
She looks like a Yorkie to me. Very pet quality though. Did you see if she has registration papers? Sorry, I am a little confused. Are you buying the dig in the picture of her puppy? Did you see the sire of the pup? |

The dog in the pic is the mother and there are not papers for this litter. The dad was not the breeders so I could not see him. I just know this mom is a silkie. Every pic I see of silkies has that long nose. Not the baby doll face of the yorkie. My husband knew I wanted a yorkie and the pup was pretty inexpensive and kind of an impulsive decision, however I have been wanting another dog for quite a while so I feel just horrible that this is turning out this way. Thanks guys for your suggestions. |
Most are going to tell you that dog is a yorkie (and a cute one with a nice silky coat) and not a silky. They have a very distinct, different look. |
I FEEL LIKE SUCH AN IDIOT RIGHT NOW:confused: |
I have seen many yorkies with longer noses and they were registered yorkies, not silkies. They were definately pet quality. This dog in the pictue does not look like a silky. |
Why is that? |

OKay....Ill tell you the story. I have been beggin my husband for another dog for quite a while esp. a yorkie and he said "Let's wait" I had just brought the subject up again one morning when he pulls up at a Bojangles chicken place with our golden in the backseat...(small town too) and the lady at the window says "Nice Dog and by the way I raise dogs" My husband proceeds to say "What kind" and she said "Oh small yorkies" HA! He proceeded to say "I better call my wife" So of course I jumped on it, a little impulsively I might add. I really thought God was setting me up. But I didn't get a good look at mom and when I read on this site about silkies and yorkies I really thought I goofed. i dont mean to sound spoiled but I really do want a baby doll faced yorkie. Oh and by the way this is the sweetest little old lady you could ever meet. I know she would probably give me my money back. I just feel like such an idiot. You guys are really helping me sort this out. Thanks! Keep talking :) |
getting a pup is kinda like getting a tattoo, if you are not sure than don't. there are plenty of breeders here that can give you a pedigree for the dam and sire. don't feel bad. my husband fell in love with pepper first and had to talk me into her. actually he just went ahead and bought her and let her lick my nose while sleeping, my first yorkie kiss. I had tons of reasons why we didn't need another dog and they flew out the window with that first lick. We got lucky, you will find yours out there. be patient |
Here is a link of what a true silky terrier looks like http://www.gotpetsonline.com/picture...-terrier-0092/ http://www.dogbreedz.com/dogbreeds/silky-terrier.cfm There hair never grows long like a yorkie. They look like foxes to me. |

Here's AKC's description and another pic http://www.akc.org/breeds/silky_terrier/index.cfm You're smart to be careful.....Some people will mix them and sell them as a yorkie. The above poster is right, if you don't feel good about it take your time you'll find the perfect one. |
if you want a yorkie, and you are not certain this is a yorkie, then do not feel obligated. There is a difference when I look at the websites. But the picture you showed of the momma dog, it looks like a yorkie to me. do what you think is best. You do not want to live your life wondering. Good luck! |
Welcome to YorkieTalk. :) There are several issues here beyond appearance. First, the fact that she was selling her pups through a drive-thru window. That really bothers me. If she does that, what else does she do or not do for that matter? I think you may be looking at a pup with some serious health issues down the road if you're not careful. Then, you weren't able to see the sire or even a photo. I would question that. The mom looks like a yorkie to me, but you need to be concerned about more than appearance. It also doesn't look like she has LP, liver shunt, heartworms, etc... but who knows? Chances are there's no health guarantee either. I would walk away even if it means losing a couple hundred dollars. The right pup is worth waiting for. I am proud of you for asking questions. When we know better, we do better. :thumbup: |
whoops, the picture I saw looked like an adult yorkie, will go look and see if I can find any of the pups. I went back and looked again, it doesn't look silky to me at all, looks like pet quality yorkie...I would go look at the pups |
Yeah if you're not comfortable, don't buy it. A puppy is a huge investment of both your time and your emotions and your feelings would definitely affect your care of the puppy. BUT.. that dog looks like a Yorkie to me. |

To me this lady mislead your husbans1 I would be very nice,tell her that you thought it was a yorkie, and not a sliky! and that you have waited for a long time- and want a yorkie! It might all be woked out between evryone just fine! Good luck! |
I also believe this is a Yorkie and not a Silkie. Many Yorkies have the terrier muzzle. The baby doll face is not on all Yorkies but having said this I would do a little more research and find the puppy of your dreams. |

You're getting alot of good advice here, good luck! |
1 Attachment(s) If you feel uncomfortable about the dog don't take the dog. I have silky and when I got him, the place had told my mom it was yorkie. Well once I looked at the paper it was a silky. Alot ppl still think Tobey is a yorkie till this day and I tell them no he is a silky. I always wanted a yorkie and I finally got Isabella 6 yrs later after Tobey and he is a great dog. Here's a pic of Tobey... Silky are great dogs, but if you don't want one don't take it. :D |

Picture of the Pup in question :) Well , I'm not getting the pup.....she wasn't selling her puppies through a drive thru window however...she is a 75 year old lady that saw a pretty golden and mentioned she raised dogs herself. She is really a doll, and it seems that most people agree she is a yorkie but what does Pet Quality mean? Is that the opposite of show quality, and chances are the pups will look a lot like mom. She agreed to give me my money back and I felt really bad for going back on the deal. That is really not my character. :( However I am corresponding with a couple of breeders that have the females I am looking for. Wish me luck. Thanks all Heres a pic of the cute pup http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...syMae08002.jpg |

Thats a yorkie in the pic, and she might even be a very nice looking one as well, just a very unflattering picture. |
