So, does the DNA test show if they are 7/8 Yorkie? I don't know the answer to that.
I do not think she is a red leg because a redleg is defined just as much by the pattern of color as the lack of length. See in this picture how the red comes up on the sides http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/att...o-cimg1040.jpg You don't see the lack of hair growth of a red leg as a puppy. They do grow hair out more than a short-haired chi, they just don't get the long, to the floor coats of a standard Yorkie. Does your puppy have the reddish color coming from underneath and extending up the sides like the picture? If not, I doubt she is a red leg. Some call dogs red legs if their coat does not grow long, but sometimes those are just wirey coats, another fault.
| I had gone thru the Mars website the day after they took the blood and if I recall correctly I think they do tell you what percentage she is...the test is for mixed breeds, so the pet owners know what exactly they have and potential health issues due to their breed makeup....
The breeder said that she would have her aunt's dog at the house when I picked up the puppy....I didn't ask how she would do it or get specifics. I took into consideration that she had good reviews and couldn't find anything bad about her...another thing that kind of bothered me was all the barking I heard...It must have been from the cellar which is creapy but I don't know...I didn't ask to see but did ask how many Yorkies she had of her own and she said 5....but, she also said she breeds imperials which I think are shihtzus, I don't know exactly, I can look it up in the emails...so who knows how many are actually in the downstairs or whatever you call it (I'm guessing cellar) that the barking was coming from??????
When I get home from work I'm going to have a close look at Ksena and the coloring coming up the sides... |
