Think this dog is pure bred? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LilMissy · 02-22-2009, 02:10 PM

I don't think it's rude to take pictures and only take him if he looks purebred. That's what you are looking for. He is cute though

jeanm1963 · 02-22-2009, 02:25 PM

I dont know alot about yorkies yet but could it be just the angle of the picture??? He is really cute maybe you can see him and see his features better!

Nikis2 · 02-22-2009, 02:32 PM

Most dogs that are CKC come from the Amish or puppymills. So I would think he is a yorkie just a lower quality one and I would be worried about health issues. But, I guess you have to ask yourself what am I really getting this puppy for. If its just an addition to your family and his quality doesn't matter than it won't hurt to talk to them about him.

Ok so we picked up the puppy today. I took pictures of him. We looked at his papers and he is NOT 7 months old, he's a week shy of being 5 months. The paperwork says that he is purebred and it has both of the parents CKC numbers on it. His color is listed as "Blue/Gold". He is 4lbs 3oz. Here are some more pictures.... So what do you think?

Yorkie_Mama · 02-22-2009, 08:01 PM

all it takes to CKC the puppies parents as pure yorkies is your buddie to sign a paper saying yep looks like a yorkie to me .. CKC is not worth the paper it is printed on ..many people who buy puppies on limited reg will CkC the dogs to get away with somthing ..or if they find a dog or steal a dog that looks yorkie they have a paper and you just need anyone to verrify yeah I guess it could be pure breed .. take a look at the CKC web page ...also people who dont want akc to do inspections on there paperwork or breeding set up will switch to CKC .. its just like the apri ..not much in security on your puppies back ground .. love your puppie Its cute .. lil Guy

He looks like a full yorkie, very cute but may not be bred to the standard. Hope it works out, he's a cutie.

Nancy1999 · 02-22-2009, 08:06 PM

He looks purebred to me, are you planning on breeding him? I wouldn't breed him, but he'll make a perfectly adorable pet. That green eye shine looks all yorkie, and that usually means that he'll have a silky coat. Joey had grey hair on the top when he was a puppy, it turned white, then beige, and now it's a richer gold.

I agree with this post. He is a cutie but IMO a mix. All puppies need a home and you seem to be the perfect one for him, good luck and congrats.

Fancy_Pants · 02-22-2009, 08:11 PM

It's a toss up for me. I was looking at a yorkie/min pin mix and if you seen her you would have never guessed she was not a full blooded yorkie. She had the face, body, coat everything like a yorkie. It can be hard to tell, sometimes the mixes will take after one breed more than the other. Regardless, he is a cutie. I hope it works out with him, he looks like a keeper what ever he is.

MyFairLacy · 02-22-2009, 08:11 PM

It's really hard to say....I've seen yorkie mixes that look more yorkie-like than some supposedly purebred yorkies. When you have so many people breeding pet quality yorkies, you get dogs that deviate very far from the standard. He's a cute little puppy..probably a purebred yorkie, just very pet quality. He looks like he has a coarser coat which won't grow well.

His coat isn't coarse at all, the pictures are deceiving. I think its the coloring and the way that it is laying. Its actually very silky/soft. I guess the one reason why I feel that he may be a mix is b/c he doesn't have much facial hair. He does have some, but it is limited so far. He also has some body hair which looks like a yorkie.

Thank you all for your input! I appreciate...

btw... my husband wanted to let you all know that he has been humping the fire out of his arm.

Ok, you have me convinced, all yorkie, lol.

Lol, that sounds like a Yorkie! Seriously, you need to tell hubby to stop this behavior, we gave Joey a couple of stuffed toys, so he could play dominant one with those, but it's never a good idea to allow him to feel like he's dominant over humans. This is the way they show dominance, and Yorkie are very stubborn, it's best if they learn that humans are the boss. When he does this, say "No", and push him away, you don't need to scream or get agitated, but be persistent. Could be, the little guys a little anxious after being rehomed, but they actually feel safer if they don't feel like they are the boss, the boss, or pack leader has to protect the pack, and this in itself is very anxiety provoking. Just like a kid who feels safer when he know that his parents are the bosses, the same is true of Yorkies.

Here's a picture of Joey at around the same age, notice the hair coloring, and it just got lighter and lighter, and for a while he looked bald. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/alb...pictureid=1872

TOY · 02-22-2009, 08:48 PM

Girl, I think you have become the Angelina of lost Yorkies...LOL

He's a doll and as long as you love him and he gets along with Molly, go for it! (Well, as long as your husband approves. Plus now, you'll have his and her dogs.)

How is Molly reacting to a new family member? It seems like a good time for another since they can adjust together plus keep each other company...a built-in playmate!

I'm excited for you albeit just a bit jealous. When I met you we were both Yorkieless and waiting. Now you have two and I'm still waiting but fortunately with an end in sight.

I'm so happy for you!

Here is a little female that is AKC and both her parents have CH in their pedigree. She came from a litter we had from Peaches and Rowdy born on Oct 15th, 2008.

Think this dog is pure bred?-dani-16-wks.jpg

Think this dog is pure bred?-dani-pink-bed-17-wks-3.jpg

Think this dog is pure bred?-puppis-playing.jpg

She has shorter, very soft hair, but grows very slow. Even her nails grow slow, have only trimmed them once. She is also 4 1/2 months old and weighs 29 oz and has held that weight for the past month.

While her brothers, on the other hand, have a much thicker, coat and is still really soft but totally different texture than she has; and while she will be way under the standard weight, they s/b within or close. I think her coat even looks a little shorter than his. Does this help with comparison as far as "if it looks like a real yorkie?"

I think he's adorable, and I was wondering how he's doing? Getting along with the family? And if he's a little keeper? Maybe? He is pretty adorable.
