Definitely looks like a chorkie, but she's absolutely a doll. Love her and enjoy her, if she's a pet and you are attached, it doesn't matter in the end....except when you know for certain, I would report the dishonest breeder.

I agree that she definitely looks like she has Chihuahua in her. Cute though.....

Report the breeder to AKC because if your baby isn't purebred then she's either giving you fake paperwork or illegally registering a mixed litter. Anyone can tell a buyer "Oh yea these are the parents" and they really aren't. I'd do a DNA test if you can afford it, send in the results with a picture of your baby to AKC. They'll deal with it from there.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I would love, love, love her because after all she is a doll! But it would sure bug me knowing the breeder is doing something illegal and getting away with it ---(if of course this is what they are doing)

She is a cutie!

I wonder if AKC would pay for a DNA test to be sure since this breeder might be doing something illegal? It's worth checking out.

My Ceeby looked almost like that at the same age. he finally grew to his ears and I finally learned that his hair would groww out to be beautiful, long and silky. he looked like he had been dipped in oil at that age and his hair was very sparse. You can see him in my avatar.

Kaytlynsmom · 03-03-2009, 06:10 AM

My Mia's sister had that exact look! We called her the donkey puppy cause her ears were huge! Two weeks later she grew into them and looks just like her sister now. She also had super thin hair but fluffed out as well. I think she's absolutely adorable! Good luck!

andibaby · 03-03-2009, 06:17 AM

Either way she is a doll.

tonyag9 · 03-03-2009, 06:24 AM

I'm thinking maybe a cross with chi also. That is what I have a yorki/chi mix ("chorkie") and I think my baby looks quite a bit like yours. You can see pics in my album. He's a doll though even though he isn't a purebred yorkie and I love him to death!!

Kimthom1 · 03-03-2009, 06:51 AM

You can also get a dna kit from AKC on their website American Kennel Club - akc.org. This has nothing to do with your adorable puppy, she is yours and you lover her. What it will do is put a stop to breeders who are not reputable. Think about the next person who purchases a puppy they think is a yorkie and then breeds.

I feel strongly about this subject because my first yorkie was purchased from a lady who told me she was selling the puppies for a "sick friend." Trying to save a little money (not much) I bought her from an ad in the paper and did not research nor did I insist on seeing at least the dam. It never occured to me that she was a puppy broker. I should have seen red flags when the puppies looked like they were different ages but I fell in love at first sight. When I took my puppy to the vet, he inquired where I got her. He looked at the papers and told me she came out of another state (known for puppy mills) and not to take it too hard. He told me to think of it as a rescue and she is now in a good home. She is a purebred but when I went to register her I got a nice letter from AKC telling me a dna test had been done on a littermate and either the sire or dam was not a match. The lady must have gotten the papers from the litters mixed up. Someone else must have gotten suspicious and had the test done. We love her and she has been the best dog and queen of our home for 11 years now. I did not pursue getting money back because I was told it may require returning the puppy. She is our child and I was not willing to do that. I never intended to breed but the papers were kind of a birth certificate to me and I was very upset. In hindsight I should have pursued getting some reimbursement as I paid a price for a registered yorkie.

I just got my second yorkie puppy before Christmas and I did my research on the breeder this time.

In the end, take it as far as you are comfortable. Just love your beautiful new baby and know that you have given her a good home.

Potter · 03-03-2009, 11:59 AM

I think give her some time to grow and she may just be a full Yorkie. Sometimes, they go through a stage where they don't really look like Yorkie pups.

WalnutHill · 03-03-2009, 01:41 PM

Based on her coloring and facial features, she looks like a pure Yorkie to me. The coat is hard to tell at such a young age, but we occasionally have litters that some puppies have excellent silk coats, and some puppies in the same litter have sparse "coarse" coats as puppies. The hair eventually grows in as they get older.

If you are interested in an AKC DNA test, you have to pay a $500 deposit to get the process started, then the AKC will perform the test and charge the entire cost to the party found to be in the wrong (either the breeder, if the DNA test comes out that the papers are wrong, or the buyer if the papers are right).
