LOL!!!!!:lol tears

That's just wonderful...

If the test comes back mixed I think it's safe to assume she's not purebred...:p...I think that if the test comes back mixed then the breeder committed fraud basically. I'm not saying I'd press charges but that's what it boils down to. If she is mixed and true I did buy her it's because the breeder lied to me and said her looks would change etc etc....I'm not returning the dog even if the test does come back 1/2 kangaroo so maybe this is a bunch of wasted time and effort but really, I would like to know. Is her hair really not going to grow???? This is becoming quite commical...I can't stop laughing at some of the responses...very funny, thanks!

That's so weird, I joked today that she looked like a fox....

The vet is going to go over the test with me and the results coming from the lab will be in writing so I think it'll make more sense when simplified....

Hey, does anyone want to purchase a Purebred Yorkie? She'll be available on Tuesday....JUST KIDDING!!

There are plenty of AKC registered dogs used in breeding that shouldn't have been. It's the reason so many yorkies are so out of standard in appearance...it does not mean they aren't "purebred".

Amen to that!

If you don't get a puppy from a reputable breeder who is carefully breeding to produce puppies who will grow up to be as close to the Yorkie standard as possible, it's anybody's guess what the puppy will look like as an adult.

Because of their popularity, Yorkies have become a favorite among greeders and the result is a Yorkie prone to all sorts of genetic conditions like liver shunts. Legg-Perthes, etc. who barely resemble the standard set out by the YTCA.

LMFAO

You are hilarious!

Sooooooooooooo mad........
 

I've been worried about health risks with Ksena as well....I thought she was reputable...I tried everything I knew to do. I googled her and found nothing bad and believe me I searched and searched...I even went back and forth with someone who bought one of her dogs and asked about health problems etc etc....she has sort of a web page that has really good reviews on it....I feel really bad about all of this but I did everything I knew to do and I chose to believe what the breeder told me because I couldn't find anything bad about her! The parents of Ksena had huge amounts of fluffy hair on their heads so I really believed her when she said that some dogs hair comes in later than others and that she would have a lot of hair...the hair to the floor. I figured it would cover her tiny head. I have seen Yorkies that have narrow faces with the long hair....I took a chance, I guess, that I wasn't being lied to....I don't want to get mad again so I guess I'll stop there....the breeder lied to me!! She lied to me and lured me to her house with a lie about quality an hour and a half away and then when I question Ksena's appearance she lied to me again....Maybe I am a fool but the breeder is an a** hole!! I have to stop now or I'm going to contact the breeder and go off...I shouldn't even be acting this way but I feel so deceived and angry....:mad::mad:

Aren't you suppose to find out the results this week? I think? lol, Reading so many posts, I lost track. I think she's a Yorkie, just not well bred. But who knows, she is soooo cute though. :)

Ksena
 

Thanks, a friend came by yesterday and they were running and rubbing against her feet and she said she liked the one that looks like the chihuahua...I had to laugh! Anyway, talked to their vet yesterday to find out when I can fix the both of them and vet said hasn't heard back from MARS yet but as soon as they know I'll be the first to hear. Ksena has a shot appointment on Tuesday and Jonah's last appointment vet said by Ksena's next appointment which is Tuesday I should know. I guess there are no guarantees it will be Tuesday but MARS did say 2-3 weeks so it can't be any longer than this week at some point. Hopefully it will be Monday...they start kindergarten class on Tuesday as well so it's going to be a big day. Just wondering, if she is a Yorkie is it possible her hair will grow long at the top? It is possible right? I'm guessing it won't happen but it could right? When I called the breeder after people kept commenting on her looks the breeder said these people knew nothing about Yorkies.....lol....I guess we'll see....

Hey, a friend just came by and said his girlfriend has a grooming salon for 22 years and she owns a Yorkie...it's her favorite breed. When I get home later he said to call him and they'll stop by and she'll let me know what she thinks.....

I can't wait to hear what she says!

Me too, I just got home so I'll let you know....

Oh my gosh, the groomer just left and she said basically what everyone else has been saying. She said that too many people are breeding them and there are too many out there that don't look the way they should. She also said not to feel bad because she knows people who have had pups shipped from all over, claiming to have good- even show quality and they are not!!! So she said you just never know....people claim to have great pups and they just don't get it. She also said that I won't know what she'll look like until she's about 16 months because they change. She said obviously her nose is a little bit longer than it should be but not to worry because by 16 months it won't matter anyway....While this is all going on my husband says, oh ya, you have mail in the mailbox.....HELLO!!!!!!!!!! The MARS test came back: I'm going to write word for word what it says.....I'll send this first

She is at least in the significant breed category of Yorkshire Terrier....but, I'll write word for word what it says:

The picture below shows the breeds detected in Kasna. The relative size of the breed image shows the amount of each breed detected in our ananlysis. There are also signals from other breeds which are not strong enough to identify with confidence. How can these faint signals occur? There are two possibilities. First, your dog could have mixed-breed ancestors beyond three generations back. A second reason is that our test may not yet cover one of the breeds in your dog's ancestry.

I agree with the groomer. If you look at my dog now she looks so different than she did at a year old. Amazing how they change.

Soooo....
 

Percentage wise.....of the breeds it detected, How much Yorkie does she have?? I wish I could see the pic it shows!!! How exciting!!! Am i posting to soon? is there more?? :D

I can fax it to you if you want...hahahaha!

It shows Yorkie in the Significant percentage which means at LEAST 50% Yorkie....but it's got to be more than 50% because it basically says the other breeds aren't strong enough to name either because it was over 3 generations ago or because the breed isn't in there data base. Does that make more sense??????? I can really fax it to you if you want or scan and email it????

You could scan it and attach it to the thread if you want, like a picture attachment.

Oh ya, the groomer said she didn't look like a chihuahua but she did look a little different but hard to tell at this age....

Okay, I'm on it....

Well, I think you have your answer from both the groomer and MARS. Ksena is just a really poorly bred Yorkie, the result of backyard breeding. She is not alone. Yorkies are a favorite among greeders because of their popularity.

Thank heavens you are smart enough to realize she is not breeding quality and will just keep her as wonderful pet.

I scanned it but don't know how to add it...my husband said to wait until 1/2 time and he'll do it...

1/2 time!!!! LOL!
 

I understood what it said but since it said "the picture below" then I desperatly wanted to see it. I think Im a visual learner...LOL. and by the way something i though was funny....my daughter was watching me type this and asked if I was talking to a Yorkie!!! (cause it says YorkieTalk) She is so silly. LMAO!!!

Yeah, she said almost exactly what you said. Trust me, I would never be part of this problem!!!!! Funny thing is the groomer used to groom my cats years and years ago but I switched groomers because she was always booked...she said just to call her and she'll squeeze me in whenever I want now ;)...she was giving me all kinds of brush and grooming tips....Woohoo!

That is adorable!!! I keep trying to add the pic but I'm doing it wrong I guess...here he comes...
