| New here! Hi!! its been a long time coming but we have our baby! he is actually not a baby, the former owner said he is 10 months old. His name is Benji and he is the greatest dog ever! We found benji on craigslist and i fell in love with him. although i am not sure if he is purebred yorkie, the former owner said he is but has yet to give us papers. Benji is a larger yorkie at about 10lbs and his coloring is almost a rust color. any experts out there tell me if he looks like the norm for a yorkie? does he look purebred (i know that may be hard to tell) i do not care we love him. and craigslist can be decieving. i just want someone elses input.

| Thanks guys. we have definately hit the jackpot. Benji seems to be adjusting. He is great with my 3 boys. he is unaltered but am taking him to the vet today to have him heart worm tested, rabies and a consult to have him neutured. The former owner promised his vet records also and its been two weeks and i have yet to see them. i cannot have him groomed without proof of rabies. and she hasnt cashed our check yet and wont answer her phone. hopefully the vetrenarian gives benji a clean bill of health. i still cannot get over how lucky i was to find benji! and i hope to get to know all of you and your babies too! thanks for the warm welcomes. |

| Welcome. You'll love this site. I know I've found all sorts of great information on it. We're not sure whether our Charlie is a purebred or not either. We were told he was, but the vet thought maybe not. And he's going to be on the bigger side as well. But, like, you, we just love him to pieces, and that's what counts. |

| He is just adorable! You sure did hit the jackpot with Benji. His coloring is beautiful. My suggestion would be to have the vet check him for a chip today when you go. If he is not chipped you can have that done along with the neuter. As for his shots many states charge more when a dog is not neutered so it might be best to wait until his surgery and have it done then. I know in IL it is triple the amount for unaltered dogs. He can always wait to be groomed for a few weeks if you give him a nice bath and brush/comb him. That is so odd that the woman hasn't cashed your check..........actually it is odd that she even accepted a check from a CL ad.
