Do Yorkies sometimes look like Chuahuas? I just got 2 Yorkies, a male and female from different litters. They look completely different and I'm beginning to wonder if my female is actually purebred. She's ACA registered but I just can't shake the fact that she looks like a mix. She has the smallest head and big ears that stood up since day one. When she runs her tail end curls up just like a Chuahua! I looked online and saw Yorkie/Chuahua mix pics and wouldn't you know....I thought I was looking at my female! When I talked to the breeder she assured me that she would look completely different in about 8 months. Have I been scammed or could this be true? Frustration.......... |
Can you post a picture of her? |
I have a pic in my album... I'm very new to this YorkieTalk site but I think I posted her pic in an album in my profile and I don't know any other way of doing it.....It took me a while to figure out how do post my original question...lol |
Papers from the ACA (American Canine Association) don't mean anything. She could be a mix and still have ACA papers. |
Hmm... she looks Yorkie to me. It's hard to tell when they're so young though. Some Yorkies just have bigger ears than others and shorter hair, etc. I'm not the greatest at telling what dogs are, but she looks yorkie to me! |
I just looked at her picture and she could be a mix or she could just be a poorly bred yorkie. The ears are definitely not standard but cute regardless.Some yorkies from poor breedings look alot like mixes. I think she is cute though and you should just enjoy her as a pampered pet |
So, I have a mix or a poor quality Yorkie.. Thanks so much! I'm real bummed out though....it's a toss between poor quality and mix... |

awww I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt your feelings with her statement... But because of overbreeding...and many non-reputable breeders...sometimes yorkies do take on charicteristics of a mix.... However I have seen on some "reputable" breeders sites..... puppies that have ears just like your babies!! So don't let that get you down....when I first got Tulip I was seriously worried about her coat...it just looked AWFUL....lol wiry...hardly grew at all...but at 7 months its finally growing and softening up a little....so give her time...I bet she grows into her ears! I think she's precious!!! Both of your babies are!!! |
She does look like mostly yorkie to me. I am really not an expert on the breed standard and what they are supposed to look like. These little guys are all so different looking. She will grow into the ears. My Pebbles had very big ears and now she's 1 and looks more proportioned. Your baby is a cutie pie. Welcome!! |
Either way she is sooo cute! |

Did you see her parents? What did they look like? That will give you an idea of what she will look like as an adult. Did you pay a lot for her? If not and she is healthy, can you live with her appearance? |
She's so cute, but, def. looks like a mix, most likely chihuahua. Unfortunately there are a lot of breeders that are not on the up and up. Then there are others that breed poor quality. |
Both your babies are adorable! Your little girl needs more hair to grow in I think, shes got a longer snout and bigger ears. I think she'll grow into them and look more yorkie in time, especially when her hair starts to really grow in! She is adorable! I love the big up ears! :) |
