Is This a Yorkie?
 

Hello all! I'm new to this forum, I was looking to ask the opinion of the Yorkie community about a certain adorable pooch I recently saw. Last night I was up late and watching Reno 911 (yes, it was actually the best thing on tv at that hour:rolleyes:) and glad I did, because I saw the dog in the below clip. She has to be the cutest Hollywood k9 I've seen in quite some time (roll over, Lassie). For several years I worked at an animal shelter and it bugs me that I'm not exactly sure of this breed! I have never seen a floppy-eared Yorkie that looked quite like this, and with that haircut. Is this a pure Yorkie, a Yorkie/poodle x, or am I off the mark entirely?

(note: although Reno 911 is usually racey, this clip, surprisingly, is not :D)

Sorry the "imbed video" feature did not work, I will edit to include the website link shortly!
Edited to add: Yuck! I can't remove that glob of mumbo-jumbo out of the post!
Well, here's Comedy Central's website link to the clip:
Witness Protection | RENO 911! | Comedy Central

The "star federal witness" the cops are protecting is the dog :)

LOL it looks like a yorkie mix possibly a shorkie. So cute

The ears are too big to be a yorkie. It looks like a yorkie cocker spaniel mix to me

that is a very cute dog:) I would guess Mario has Cocker Spaniel in him with Yorkie. :cool:

Dang cute little whatever-it-is :D
When I first saw that she kind of reminded me of a cocker with those ears... It's like you can almost pick a definitive breed. but then you look again and go... ???

Shorkie...s**tzu/Yorkie mix. I think so anyway. I have a Shorkie but she is still a young one yet. That is a older looking dog. But I think I see s**tzu in those eyes. How adorable. Could have Cocker too.

She is a precious looking dog

Oh my goodness that is a cute dog! Looks like she has a lot of yorkie in her but cut like a schnauzer. The ears do look very cocker though.

Is Mario a girl? Looks like a girl from a quick glimpse at his/her tummy, but the name?

What would a Yorkie and cocker spaniel combo be called ?

the OP said she when she was talking about her. It is a funny name for a girl though so who knows?

:yeahthat: What a funny clip that was :yelrotflm

Yep, I would vote shorkie too.

That name would have to be thought through veeeery carefully. Every variation that popped in my mind sounded pretty naughty.:o

My Shorkie still has a tail, no docking. That poor little thing must be wondering what they were trying to do to his/her butt. I know what I would have done if someone picked me up and lifted my tail. Let ir RIP!!!

There is more of this dog in that episode that they don't have on the web- there's a scene where someone calls the hotel and the officers whip out their guns to protect the dog from assasination :) I think it will air again on Friday night, hafta tape it... anyway, during the show they roll the dog over and poke her belly to see if she's eaten evidence- then you can tell it's a girl ;)
Bet "Mario's" one of the cast or crew's dogs, hehe...

OH dear, now that I got a good laugh at your post, you are absoluetly correct .
That's too funny , :D

It would be called a Corkie....I have one!

I have a cocker spainel/ yorkie mix (corkie) and thats not one.....very cute tho!

It looks like a shorkie to me :p (shih tzu yorkie)

It is a cute dog. Now are her ears that big or is the hair on them just really long? I used to grow the hair on my shih tzu's ears really long and they looked like that. I'll have to try it with Ginger:) lol

If I had to vote, I'd vote shorkie too.

I was thinking the same thing...

Can't tell if those ears are 'real" or just hair- I think we should all get ahold of shih tzus and do some experimental grooming to see if we can get the ears to look like that :D

Now here's an idea I had- does anyone think the dog could be a lhasa x yorkie? I've never even heard of that mix... hafta google some more!

(frankly, I can hardly tell a shih tzu from a lhasa anyway- SHHH!)

PS- OOOH, a Corkie! Never seen one as an adult, I gotta look at your pictures...

She is so precious.

She looks nothing like her pics any more her face is no longer black its turning yorkie gold......I'll put more pics up soon

Thats what I thought!!

1st...I LOVE Reno 911...it's crazy.
2nd...What a cute pup!

Thanks for the clip....even though I'm just seeing it after 2 months.

No problem :) I think a part of me worships this cute little tv dog for no reason at all- except that it's that cute! ;)

maybe a bit of daschund in there
