Is he a purebreed Yorkie? So my Toby is now 5 months and he is 8lbs!:confused: I am starting to wonder if he really is a purebreed.. I've seen yorkies that are 4,5lbs fully grown and Toby is getting bigger and bigger and he is only 5 months old! Here are some pictures of him, what do you guys think? His ears don't stand up either...When we bought him the people gave us papers but I doubt he is AKC yorkie..he just don't look quite like a purebreed yorkie [img=http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9236/dsc02074n.th.jpg] http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8000/dsc02229d.jpg |
What are you feeding him :) ? He looks like a Yorkie. |
You will find lots of people here with larger yorkies that are just beautiful. I am no expert but your baby looks like a yorkie to me. His coat is beautiful to. |
He looks like a yorkie to me. My female yorkie ranges between 8 and 9 pounds. Her parents were much smaller. Sometimes they just grow bigger. More to love!!!:) I've seen a lot of posters here with larger yorkies. |
He looks like a purebred Yorkie to me. My 18 m.o. 7lb. Yorkie Baron has 1 ear that stands up 3/4 of the way and the other is only 1/2 way up. My newest Yorkie is a 17 m.o. 9 lb. Female named Sophie Kennedy. Both of her ears are completely flopped over. They say that you should shave or tape their ears to get them to stand up. If they're teething it takes longer for them to stand too! I love their floppy little ears. Both of mine are purebred Yorkies. I love them just the way they are...:D |
He is such a cutie! Were you able to see both the parents of the puppies? Has he always had the curly hair? I noticed on his back his hair was really curly. If you shaved his ears , they would probably stand up. The hair is to heavy on his ears , that makes it hard for him to hold them up. Both sides of his ears need to be shave 3/4 . What is your puppies coat texture like? He really looks like a Yorkie to me, the only thing I wonder about is the curls he has. KInd of makes me think of a Yorkie-POO? I am probably way off though . |
Awww how cute he is:)He looks all yorkie to me. |

Toby looks like these dogs, yorkie-poo's!!! I think I figure it out. Man we got played :mad: Here are some pictures of yorkie poos that Toby looks like Yorkipoo Pictures and Photos, 1 |
ive personally seen yorkies from 3lbs up to 20lbs sense ive started working at the local vet mines about 13 lbs now maybe less he was 8 lbs before i got him neutered! also i DID put my foot in my mouth and post i thought a yorkie puppy was a mix because it had a white spot on its chest which was rude of me and absolutely wrong! they come in all shapes sizes and colours they are all beautiful and all deserve to be loved bunches! |
He's adorable and looks like a Yorkie to me. |
HUn, I do not know> That was only a guess . He is so beautiful regardless . To me he looks more a Yorkie then anything else . I only noticed all the curls , and that is what got me to thinking. I am very sorry, I did not want you angry. He is so precious. I doubt anybody realy is going to be able to tell the difference > What matters is that you love him . :aimeeyork |
Looks just like my purebred yorkie! Mine is a little bit larger as well, but don't worry! He's still just a little one! :) |
he looks all yorkie to me... |

OMG he is so cute on top of that pool table, does it really matter????? |
Yorkie History He is a perfect little dog. If your not going to breed him it doen't matter what his weight is. Now for the question. Is he 100% Yorkie. Study the history of the Yorkie Breed and you will find that breeders have been tweeking these dogs for the past 100 years. Old genes pop up from time to time presenting some of their ancestry. I know a breeder in Portland who has 23 dogs on property, all from very good stock, and no 2 dogs look or present the same. I've been told and have since observed that 25% of progeny actually develop the show ring coat. You will find variations in coat texture and pigment. His ears do seem a bit large, and his snout looks wide but I think that is the photo not the real dog, lenses tend to do that up close. My Rocky's hair had a curl to it until he was one. He is now 2-1/2 right at 7lb, which he hit a 8 months, and his coat has changed twice, he is finally turning blue, and clearing the black in front of his ears. |
He is so cute! He looks like my Jonah....Anyway, you think you have issues go look at my photos....lol! I think he's great! Is he registered? Not that it matters but just curious because AKC does DNA to prove parentage... |
3 Attachment(s) My Yorkie is 5 months old and 6 1/2 lb. He was suppose to not be over 3. I quess you can never tell. Oni's ears are half way up and I am taping them. He looks alot like yours. He has short legs which makes him look smaller but he has a very stocky body. If I would put him in a schunazner cut I think he would look like a schunazner . |
I have one beautiful whopping 16 lb. yorkie boy and he is all yorkie... look at my profile, your baby looks alot like my Tootie did :) |

he looks like a purebred yorkie to me...he's precious |
He is a beautiful dog! I have one that was supposed to be 8 and ended up 20 lbs. Papers yes. Akc yes! Who can tell? We love him just the same. I did see the mother and not the father who was supposed to be 3 lbs. What can you do? Just love them |
2 Attachment(s) He is adorable what ever he is. My little girl is 9 1/2 pounds. Her mother was 10 and her dad was 5 pounds. So you never can tell what you might get. The same parents had a litter after mine that had a couple of boys that ended up being 14 pounds. And she has one ear up and one ear down. They come in all shapes and sizes, coloring, etc. Enjoy him. |
Looks like a yorkie to me :) My Jackson is nearly 14lbs at 7 mo. old. |
Your baby is beautiful, I don't think he is a mix, some puppies coats are like that when they are little, he probably has a cotton coat. Some yorkies get bigger than parents because of the lines behind them, his grandparents or grant grandparents could have been larger than 7 pounds. He is adorable! It really doesn't matter size as long as you love him:) |
He looks like all Yorkie to me. Cotton coat has wavy hair. |
Looks yorkie to me.. but I must say they are called throw backs.. from being bred down.. and even show breeders can have throw backs that are young puppies months old that are 7 pounds.. so size is not always going to be the same as parents or less...I have seen people with litters.. two teenie and one rather large..my vet would call this a throw back.. that is unless both parents were large to begin with... I think if you love him that is the important thing.. my daugter bought a yorkie years ago.. and she was not a yorkie.. she is a yorkie poo or bichon in her.. but she is loved.. but my daughter back then felt very betrayed by the breeder... This is another reason why a breeder should only have one breed of dog and then those accidents do not happen... anne |
