I have on Yorkie with a longer nose and long legs, that weighs almost 9lbs and then I have one that has the kind of teddy bear looking face with short legs and she weighs between 3.5-4lbs, both are full Yorkie

Your little one is adorable! Good for you!!

Congrats!! She is beautiful and yes looks all Yorkie to me. One piece of advice; I see you have a collar around her neck with the leash. You should switch to using a harness. The Yorkie breeds have a tendancy for Collapsed Tracheas and should not have any pressure on their neck area. The harness is a better option. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? What a find to find a baby Yorkie in a shelter. They usually will end up in rescue or adopted by someone at the shelter. Elaine

I think it looks like she's wearing a harness. It looks like the same one I used to have for Epsilon.
