My wife & I joke they have a part Yorkie, part Rottweiler mix !!!!!!!

Ha! This post reminds me of the other day when I searched yorkies on petfinder.com. I kid you not - I found a yorkie-lab mix!!

At first, I thought it was a typo - but it was referenced again in the description. If it was true, then I guess a Rot-kie is not far from reality??

They are absolutly 2 cuties.

She's Yorkie for sure. She looks just like my Zada who is 9 pounds of perfection, and I'll attach a picture for you to see.

Amanda7 · 04-28-2009, 07:29 PM

She's a yorkie, without a doubt. And a very sweet and adorable one.

Wabbit · 04-28-2009, 09:18 PM

She looks alot like my sisters Yorkie....little longer snout and coloring...GORGEOUS!! 100% Yorkie!!!

chattiesmom · 04-28-2009, 09:21 PM

Both of your little beauties look like Yorkies to me. It never ceases to amaze me looking at the pictures of the yorkies here at YT -- their is a vast difference in appearances, weights and body structures.

Your Charlie and Chloe are both precious! I hope you share lots of pics!

LilMissy · 04-28-2009, 09:35 PM

Chloe looks all Yorkie to me, and a beautiful one at that!

They are both very cute. You're lucky!

Chance · 04-28-2009, 09:37 PM

I'm in the same boat, I think I may buy a dna test off the internet.

Nothing at all, I would just like to know and resolve the situation cause people keep asking/telling me shes a silkie.

I also am a bit confused cause bother her parents were yorkies (according to the akc papers), so i dont know why people says she looks like a silkie

Either way I would still love her

Two beautiful Yorkie babies. I get that a lot about my Zoe because she is big, 12 pounds. Her picture is in my avatar. I think a lot of people think because they are not on the small size that they can't be pure bread yorkies, but we all know that this isn't so. Enjoy your babies and don't let what other people say make you worry. Have a great day.

My Charlie is 4.5 pounds at 10 months and soft as satin with a fast growing curly coat.
I was surprised (just like you) when I got my second Yorkie "Belle" ..she is only 6 months but already 7.5 pounds and she is much longer with a narrower snout and coarse hair.
Her coat is slow growing and she has a patch of silver hair on the top of her head.
They seem to look quite different.
