my new yorkie
 

hi everyone... its my first time on here. my name is angela....

anyhow i just bought what i hope is a yorkie.... i saw the parents and they are small about 5 pounds. the puppy is soo cute, she is 9 weeks old and her coat is short and on the chest she has a few strands of hair that sticks out further. she is black and tan and has the docked tail. i am so confused. i dont see any other yorkies anywhere with this short of a coat....is this a normal? she told me the coat will grow out soon.:confused: thanks for any help....

At that young age, they DO have very short coats. You can go look on my profile page for pics of my Curly Mac at that age. It takes quite some time for them to grow their long hair.
Hey, if you post pics of your baby, we could have a look for you and we all love pics here!

ok thanks for the quick answer, i looked at your cute curly mac and the coats are nothing alike at all. but i will post some pictures so you will get a better idea thanks again.

What you have described sounds like a Yorkie, what did the ppl you bought your puppy tell you? Are you thinking it just doesn't look like a Yorkie? Very young Yorkies look very diferent from adult Yorkies. If you go to the Yorkshire Club of America, it will have pictures of all stages of Yorkies, maybe seeing this will reassure you, plus there are many pics here of all ages.

BTW, welcome to the YT family. There is a lot of information here about everything Yorkie, so enjoy!

i posted her pics, i just took them. i checked the website... thanks for the info....

Wow she's cute as heck but I'm no expert but she doesn't look like a pure yorkie to me. I'm sure there are other more experienced people on here that could better answer your question. But boy is she a cutie!!

thanks i really dont think she is either. i saw her parents and they looked yorkies. the vet record says yorkie. the other pups from the litter looks like yorkies. but i wanted a girl and she was the only one. the lady i got her from said her dad looked like this until he was older. i just got her today and now i dont no what to do.

I just looked at the pictures you posted and she is a little doll but she does look like she could be a Chorkie, a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix. What did the ppl you bought her from tell you. Did they sell her as a full-blood Yorkie? Do you have papers? I'm certainly no expert so this is just my observation and questions. Either way, she is a cutiepie.

Why don't you talk to the breeder again and express your concerns and see what she says. It can't hurt and maybe she can clear it up for you.

I'm no expert, but she looked kind of like a dachshund too me so I googled the hybrid and came up with this: Google Image Result for http://cdn-www.dailypuppy.com/media/dogs/anonymous/piper_yorkie_dachshund_08.jpg_w450.jpg

Hopefully that works for you. They look similar to me, what does anyone else think?

I am no expert either but I think she looks part chihuahua. Did they breed them too?

the lady showed me the mom and the dad and they looked like yorkies. but i dont know now. she didnt have the puppy registered but the vet papers say she is a yorkie... she didnt mean for them to mate but the male caught her before the owner knew she was in heat.

Hi there, and welcome to YT . IMO, your little puppy is first very cute :thumbup: However, not a purebred yorkie .If the breeder sold you a purebred yorkie, and allowed you to believe that, then she was not being honest. If she charged you for a purebred yorkie and you paid for it, you could take her to court. Did you see both parents?
If your happy with your puppy keep him, but I would still talk to the breeder. She misrepresented her puppies, and sold them as something they are not. That is fraud.

I would say yorkie and dachshund...cute tho.. but If you were told yorkie.. that was totally wrong..breeder needs to know she is not allowed to sell a purbred as a purebred when it is not.. again if you like him.. keep him.. but I so have no time for breeders that do this..

Your puppy is a real cutie whatever she is!!!!!! :D:confused:;) If the pup does not have registration papers there is a reason???

I was thinkin' that adorable little furbaby is a Chorkie too.

I would guess Yorkie mixed with dachshund too as I have both, just not mixed together! If the lady said she did not intend to breed her female and the male "caught her before she knew she was in heat" then there is a good possibility that another dog may have gotten to her too. Dogs can actually get pregnant by more than one male during their heat. Might explain why some of the puppies looked like Yorkies and this one does not.

She could also be the daughter of the two parents you saw too. Some people breed dogs that should not be bred. They may look a lot like a Yorkie but somewhere in their background there was a mixed breeding. Eventually puppies will be born that throw-back to that mixed breeding and look different that the parents.

I hope you paid no more than a mixed dog price. If she cost more than $100-$200 I would be back at the breeders to get some resolution. Remember the vet will write whatever breed you tell them. I had a pound puppy once and they always wrote Australian Shepherd because that was the vet's best guess as to at least one of the gene donors. So, that does not mean anything. You definately do not have a full Yorkie there. But I can tell you what she is guaranteed to be ..... and that is CUTE AS A BUTTON!

Oh she? is a complete cutie pie no doubt, but I'm not seeing a Yorkie there. Looks kinda like a wiener dog or chi wow wow as my lil boy calls them ;) She might be mixed with Yorkie but not a full blooded one. If you were told different by the breeder, you should get your money back. I'd still keep the sweetheart though, she's precious!

Hello and welcome to YorkieTalk! Your furbaby is a cutie. :)

I also think your baby is adorable :)

I'm confused!!! Is this the little girl that everyone is saying has chihuahua or daschund in her?? This girl looks all yorkie to me, just on the bigger side....What makes everyone even think chihuahua? She has a cute, thick fluffy yorkie coat....not at all short like the other two breeds....Her face looks all Yorkie, her body just look a little taller than it should be....I vote all Yorkie!!
