Does my Yorkie look/sound like a mixed breed? I was looking through albums because I bought a Yorkie puppy 6 months ago that has already reached 10 lbs. He looks more like a Schnowzer. He is CKC registered. So I am hoping I have not been sold a mixed breed because I wanted to breed him with my female Yorkie. I noticed some Yorkies are large. I have a video of Romeo on my profile. He was about 16 weeks. He also has shorter hair then most Yorkies I see. My femail is 100% Yorkie. Long beautiful hair and only 5 lbs max. Tell me what you think. Your dogs are georgious. |
well since he is already 10 lbs and your female is 5 lbs i would advise you against breeding them since he is way too much than her.... |
here is a link to your youtube video...makes it a lot easier for people to watch... YouTube - TIFFANY AND ROMEO.mpg |
You shouldn't be breeding Yorkies if they are not of standard, and been genetically tested and health tested 100%... CKC is not a very reputable place to register your dogs as anyone can do it. AKC, while not always perfect, is much more reputable. Your boy is over standard (up to 7lbs) and you should definitely not have such a large male impregnating such a small female! That could be disastrous for the girl, or life threatening. I don't think your dog looks mixed, just not a properly bred or standard Yorkie -- but that's ok... I love the big guys! My boy is so far from standard! Keep them as your darling pets and not breeding! :) |
I hope you decide not to breed, many breeders who have spent literally thousands of dollars for their breeding dogs and have been studying breeding for years, have cut back on breeding. The economy is bad, and more and more backyard breeders are breeding and wanting to earn a little pocket money. This is really bad for any dog breed. A breeding dog should be as close to a perfect example of the breed as you can expect. You shouldn't have to ask anyone if it's a purebred, it should be obvious, but it also should have papers from a reputable registry. The Centennial Kennel Club will register mixes, and takes the breeder word for whatever it is, so it is not considered a reputable registry. Your dog should have health tests and you should know their background so that you can reduce the chances of passing on genetic problems. I hope you do more research before you consider breeding, here's an excellent article. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-answered.html By the way, your yorkies are very cute, but that isn't enough reason to breed them. |
Maybe not a mix breed but a silky or an aussie? |
he looks like my Thomas :) |

the video was great - they were little attention hogs just like mine are :) edited to add - you don't want to take a chance of a very difficult pregnancy or birth - males should be smaller than the female - and he's 2 times her size |
He could very well be mixed. He is awfully big and should have a longer coat by now if closer to the yorkshire terrier standard. And since you did not get to see where he came from - I would not be going down that dirt road forever either to look at a pup (he very well could have come from a Puppymill). And with his price so cheap. I would get him neutered. If you are going to breed you have to make sure they are great representation of the breed. Have you checked out the Yorkshire Terrier Standard yet? You probably should if you have not - Yorkshire Terrier Club of America There is a wealth of imformation there and will really help you learn a lot about yorkies. Also there are some great books out there about yorkshire terrier, for people wanting to breed and has more information about the breed - more than the pet information. Also breeding is not cheap. Most people loose money, so hope you have extra money you can put into the breed and not expect to get any of it back. My last c-section (with my 6 pound female) was 809.90. Then you have shots, puppy care, food, pee pads, equipment, not to mention the tests to be done on parents before breeding, testing the pups before they go to their new homes, etc... To do it correctly you cannot do shortcuts and so is very expensive. If you work - also expect to take time away from work to whelp and care for a litter, a week off if mom has a c-section. So you have to make sure too you can take this time off. There is a lot to breeding than just mentioned here, but some information to think about. |
I was not going to breed them to sell puppies. My children wanted a puppy and I wanted a puppy by Tiffany since she is so perfect. Thank you all for your comments. I had already decided I would not breed Tiffany with him because of his size. I love the big guy. I just think it is such a crime to lie and take my money like that. I am not a rich person. I have already reported her to CKC and sent them the picture of his mother she sent me. When I called her about my doubts she was very rude and told me to just suck it up. Thanks again for your input and suggestions. |
What are Silkies and Aussies? |

You can't tell for sure by looking but I would not have thought he was purebred if I just met you. He looks like a wonderful pet but not what should be bred. Neuter him and let him just be what he wants to be , Your baby! |
