He looks like a yorkie, some people are just very un-educated... they try to feel superior by saying ridiculous stuff... i have a yorkie with a wire coat and he is adorable and people who are familiar with the breed always know he is a yorkie, but i get lots of snide people who also try to imply things like he is not pure bred or that something is "wrong" with him. It upsets me too because he is pure bred and he is beautiful. he has the most beautiful colors and markings his hair just is wiry so it doesn't grow long and beautiful like most yorkies. anyways now that I ranted... LOL.

1000000% Yorkie :D

He looks all Yorkie to me! And a very cute Yorkie at that ;)

MauiGirl 08-23-2009 05:27 PM
He is an ADORABLE YORKIE, and anyone who doesn't see that right away needs their eyes (& head) examined.

MSCAT brings up a good point, you have to be soooo careful with exposure to diseases until he's had all his vaccinations. My vet told me to wait until after 16 weeks (and 4 shots) to let my new pups even put their feet down outside my house.

HERBS 08-23-2009 05:29 PM
Your baby is sooooooooooooo a yorkie! You have to remember, not everyone has had a yorkie so they assume a puppy should look like the show dogs they see on a magazine! They don't realize their colors change and their hair grows! I would say "What exact breed does he look like"??? I bet they wont e able to come up with a breed he looks like. They are just ignorant when it comes to what breeds look like. Just like I would be ignorant if you asked me what a puppy wasthat I was not familiar with :D

I agree. I remember the first time I saw a yorkie puppy....I was like..."yeah right." But when I witnessed the transformation from puppy to adult, I WAS AMAZED!!! Both of your babies are 100% beautiful yorkies.:)

Oh gosh!!!! He has had 3 sets of shots, but not 4!!! I am such a bad mommy!!! Thank you for informing me.

Your not a bad yorkie mommy. It is just very important to be aware of these things , because vet costs of a sick baby are extremely high, and then their still is a chance that the pup will not make it . :(
Bentely is a beauty . I have a little one that I can't wait to finish her vaccines ! I can't even let my 18 month old Yorkie out , for fear that she will bring back something to the baby. I like to always lean on the cautious side , rather then take the chance of a young puppy being exposed to a bad illness .

Depending on his age, and the age the first shot was given, 3 may be all that is required. My vet said since my pups got their first at 6 weeks, and since parvo is really bad here that they upped the recommendation HERE to 4 shots to carry them past the 16 week age. Last year, they only required 3 shots for my other two pups.

Anyway, glad your baby is covered, and sounds like you are both having some fun! Best of luck with that cutie!

Yes, your correct, at 6 weeks, the first shot did not do any good . Because at that age the puppy still may have had immunity from it's mother . My vet has told me the same thing, therefor we started over on the vaccines , with both puppies. The Rabies vaccine is not to be administered until at least 4 months of age.

Mardelin 08-23-2009 05:58 PM
He absolutely looks like a yorkie, through and through. He's a pup and looks like a typical yorkie pup.....people just don't know what they're talking about.

EXOTICYORKIES 08-23-2009 06:03 PM

he looks like a precious sweet little baby who should be showered with love just like what your giving him lol

Luckily we don't need rabies vaccinations here; no rabies in Hawaii so far. Like you I also believe in caution with the babies. I only take them out in an enclosed Sherpa carrier, especially to the vets, where I always put my own towel or pee pad on the exam table, and I make my friends use Purelle hand sanitizer before petting them. After seeing on YT where one breeder lost most of one litter due to parvo which most likely came from the vet office, you just can't be too careful in their first tender months.

100 percent yorkie
 
p.s he looks 100 percent yorkie and who cares what other people think especially when its negative dont you know negative people feed off of making others feel bad he is going to go through so many changes just enjoy your baby thats all thats really important

m2thev 08-23-2009 06:18 PM
He looks like an adorable little yorkie to me. Those people are just jealous :D

Mom of 3 08-23-2009 06:26 PM
Oh he is definately ALL Yorkie. Such a little doll. I love his face. I agree with everyone else. They need glasses!!

wemple2 08-23-2009 07:06 PM
No doubt in my mind what so ever...100% Rottweiler...I mean Yorkie. LOL!!! Maybe you should tell people he's a teacup Rottie!

Zeus08 08-23-2009 07:07 PM
What a cute Yorkie! No doubts here.

No sense in arguing with ignorant people. I used to get the same comments when I first got Zeus. Now I get the silly comments like, " He is chubby!" I just laugh.

EverythingMiley 08-23-2009 07:14 PM
He is aboslutely gorgeous..and def looks 100% yorkie to me..
Next time tell em he's part pit bull so watch out lol..

RicoLuv 08-23-2009 07:36 PM
Awww Bentley is adorable! It may be because he's so young...but then again some people just don't know what a yorkie looks like! I've had a lady swear up and down that my puppy was a schnauzer. How you could confuse a schnauzer with a yorkie is beyond me but I shrug it off.

I just didn't think about people already doing that with Bentley too! My DH tells people he is a miniature Rottweiller! :rolleyes: LOL He is so silly. Isn't it funny how we get so offended over our furbabies? It's like someone saying my skinkids look like aliens! LOL
I had to laugh...cuz, that's exactly what the back side of my Phoebe reminds me of as she toddles off to do her business!

Your lil' guy is so absolutely adorable that I find myself jealous that you have such a cutie:animal36patootie!

Aren't puppies just the best? :D

AbbysMom08 08-23-2009 09:42 PM
Do those people wear glasses?? If not, I think they need them.
Looks like a yorkie ro me!!
Sure is a cutie pie!!:D

BLowry 08-24-2009 04:25 AM
I don't know why people would think he isn't yorkie!! He looks all yorkie to me...

Alot of people are not educated on this breed and only know what they hear. Maybe because he doesn't fit in your shirt pocket and weigh 2 lbs they think he isn't full bred. I just ignore these people...I have 2 yorkie girls that I KNOW are full yorkie yet they look very different...sometimes people will ask what breed Sadie is cause she doesn't look like Lillie...I tell them she is yorkie and they all look different..just because she doesn't have the full beautiful coat that hangs to the floor like Lillie doesn't mean she's not yorkie...dogs are like people...we don't all look alike either. this usually gets them to shut their mouths~

Bentley looks ALL YORKIE to me and Sophie :aimeeyork

celstu1 08-24-2009 06:23 AM

Don't take it as an insult! Your baby is adorable! And you sya yourself people go on and on about how cute he is! Many people do not realize how much a Yorkies changes from puppy to adult. They think "yorkie" and think "long flowing hair" like they see on the televised Dog Shows.

BTW -- when they ask if he is a toy -- the answer is YES! All Yorkies are Toy dogs -- the Breed is classified by AKC as TOY.

All this frustration and you have only had him a week? Just wait....you still get to run in to the guy who will call him a rat, the people who say "get a real dog" and all the other folks that you can just smile at and know they have no clue about the wonderful world of owning a Yorkie! Don't take comments negative. Think of a way to turn them around. If they are so rude they can't be turned around, either use it as an education opportunity and let them know nicely, or just ignore them altogether. You know you have a handsome little Yorkie there. Think of all those people who will never even know the joy!
