My new puppy Tigger is 16wks he was sold to me as a purebread Yorkie the mom was on site weight 6pds, "picture" of dad yorkie his weight was stated at 4pds. My girlfriend also got a puppy from the same litter, she looks like a yorkie puppy, ears up and her weight now is 5ds. My other two yorkies did not look like him when they were puppies. Tigger is almost 7pds, ears down, curly hair and has very big features. I just got back from the vet and she thinks there is poodle in him, where I got him from there was a male poodle at the home of the male yorkie. Now don't get me wrong I love my Tigger, he is the smartest and happiest puppy ever, but I paid for a purebread yorkie and I don't think I got one....any thoughts?

He looks all yorkie to me. Yorkies can be bigger or smaller, have floppy or erect ears and straight or wavy hair. They are all unique. I have 2 and they look different from each other

I'm not really an expert but he looks like a yorkie to me. If he's not you should at least get your money back although let me tell you that these hybrid dogs cost more than the pure breds. We paid $1300 for our shorkie a year ago but we knew what she was before we got her. But as they say yorkies come in all different sizes colors and fur types. I would discuss this with the breeder and see what you can do.
