| Feeling very confused... and stupid So I went to the vets yesterday for Totoro's shots and had a different vet than last time. Anywho the first time I went the vet had no idea he was a yorkie and said there was probably "something else in the log pile".. The vet I saw yesterday asked me what he was as well and I replied yorkie and he looked at me waiting for me to add something so he says "not full right?" and I said "well I was told" he said if I didn't have papers to prove it then I can't be sure and he thought he was a maltese-yorkie mix. I e-mailed the beeder I got him from a couple weeks ago asking her how I could go about registering him and she told me that his mother was never registered but her parents (totoro's grandparents) were and said that it wasn't worth the money blah blah. I was so angry.. she lied about everything, she told me his parents were both registered and that there would be no problem in me registering him but now I don't believe anything.. Maybe his "parents" weren't even his parents. I tried e-mailing her from my boyfriends email about her current for sale puppies to see what she would say and she said that the parents were both small and the mother was a DWARF yorkie.. I can't believe this, dwarf? Like come on now. She has told me all of the right things before buying him and I can't believe who she truly turned out to be.. I feel stupid but I love Totoro and I am happy that he is healthy, happy and active.. I wish I could get my money back though, although I love yorkies and yorkie mixes I paid for a purebred.. Does he look like a yorkie? I have a whole photo album of him since I got him. Thanks in advance and feel free to call me an idiot.

I'm just partially upset about paying for a purebred but I would be more upset if he turns out to have a different type of coat that sheds excessively because of my families' allergies.. that is one of the main reasons I wanted a yorkie.. on top of them being adorable.

| It is hard to tell for sure without DNA...in a few pic's I see a touch of poodle in his face..probably a black one...he is a doll baby and I am sure he will be a wonderful companion. |

| PS..I think they have very reasonable DNA tests now available from vets...I would do a test and confront the breeder is he is not purebred. |

This is a huge red flag. It doesn't make sense that any breeder would go to the expense of breeding and the costs of puppies, and not have paid the few dollars to register the parent(s). At the very least, it likely means that the parent(s) were pet quality, sold on a limited registration & she bred them anyway. Always ask to see the pedigree of the parents. A quality breeder is proud to show it. As you said Totoro is a happy, healthy puppy. That's wonderful! And, he clearly adores you. Enjoy your new pup, give hims lots of love & he'll surely reciprocate for the years to come

| I was going to say poodle too. He's VERY cute though! You're very lucky he's healthy right now and just say a prayer that he's healthy down the road especially with what that breeder seems like ...

I just looked at your album Katarina and I have to agree w/ Lil Sis..Marley at 4 months looked different than your puppy..but he is still a doll ! If this really bugs you then I would get a DNA test done to find out for sure.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Totoro is very cute and fluffy! I checked out his album and there is something about him that says "havanese" to me. I think its the muzzle. Also to me it looks like the black on him goes further down his legs and belly then usual.

| Thank you everyone I did notice before that he looks quite different from the other yorkie puppies I've seen here and his coat is still as dark as the day I got him but I just thought he was.. well different When I went to see his "parents" the mother was small about 5 lbs and the dad was larger I'd say 7-8 1/2 so I figured he would just be a larger pup. I may do the test to figure out what he is mixed with if he is.. If it's a poodle, maltese, shih tzu or any of the low shedding breeds then I have no fears.. Although if I do find out he is a mix I may e-mail a photocopy to the breeder and ask for half of what I paid, if she ignores me then... oh well never talk to her again anyways and I will warn any and every person I know that is interested in purchasing a yorkie in my area.

| Katarina, first off he is absolutely adorable!! I am no expert by any means...but he does have the markings of a yorkie!! Some do have "floppy" ears. I dont know!! In the end, I really doubt you will care if he is 100% yorkie or not!! Even Maltese and Poodles do not shed so maybe you ae safe!! He is a cutie pie regardless!!
