| Think this dog is pure bred? I saw the dog on the internet. He is for sale in the same small town that we live in (just a few thousand people). He is 7 months old. CKC registered. The people didn't say whether or not he had been groomed, but I would think that he would have more hair than what he does if he hasn't, I guess I should ask?... Anywho, we have been in contact and will seeing about having a one week trial basis with him (his name is Midget) with Molly and our 3 cats to make sure he is a good fit for our family... so we will see. Anyway, just wondering what your thoughts on it were. Thanks.

| Are these people advertising is a pure bred? The markings are off and his muzzle is not that of a Yorkie. He kind of looked like silky/yorkie mix. The most impotant thing to me is if the owners are being truthful . Why they are rehoming, how old the dog is, if he is a mix, and any health problems.

| Ugh. I'm stumped on what to do. I want a male pure bred, not a mix. Would it be bad to go to this woman's house to see the dog in person and then say "no thanks, its a mix, even if you have papers?" and then tell her that I think she got ripped off and should confront her breeder? Would it be horrible of me to take the dog for a few days, post more pictures and see if the angle is "bad" (this is not what I would like to do but I am human and it has crossed my mind. ) I just don't know what to do ... and I'm supposed to leave here within an hour to go and check out the pup.

| He looks like a purebred . Yorkies too can have long noses , long ears , long legs and short coats . With all the wannabe breeders , I am not surprised to see some like this one . |

| I am definitely not an expert, but he does look like a mix to me. If you want a purebred, I would probably keep looking. |

| If I were you, i'd follow my heart on this one. IF A mix is not as important to you and the pup melts your heart , then go for it ! There is no harm in looking at this baby, you just might fall in love at first sight! If you don't go you may regret it ! It is not horrible of you to take the dog for a few days and see what he is like, and how you do with him in your family. He may be what your looking for in a dog .

I guess I could get more pictures of him in person. But that may be rude to do that, post them and then only take the dog if he really does look like a pure bred. Wouldn't the CKC papers say if he was mixed? The woman who bought the dog doesn't know much about dogs at all. I asked her if she saw the mother and she was like "yeah, she is supposed to have long hair, right?" UGH. I forgot to mention that is around 3lbs (7 months).
