Sorry... we were posting at the same time

Glad you contacted the breeder... very suspicious. Did the breeder give a health record and AKC paper with names and breed of the dam and sire? I would get the name of the vet they use for their dogs too. I hope you are able to pursue the partial refund and reporting her to AKC.

He definitely is not purebred... I hope your breeder doesn't give you any troubles and that you report her. She took advantage of you and is lying.

Donnainohio63 · 03-12-2012, 06:41 PM

Not a pure bred but he is cute as a button, I would say he is without a doubt a chorkie

Steve is very cute, and looks like a little lover, but like others said not a full yorkie. The short corse hair and long snout is a dead give a way, does he shed? To me he could also be mixed with a dachshund . It really does pizz me off when a breeder does this to a first time buyer of a puppy, you say he is 13 weeks old and you have had him to the vet twice for shots, how old was he when you got him. The problem with buying a yorkie at about 8 or 10 weeks is you do not know what they will really look like, LOL to me all yorkie pups under the age of about 8 weeks look like little Rottweilers. I bet he is a great puppy so I can see why you are in love with him, but if you paid for a full yorkie the breeder owes you a partial refund. To me I think about $450 is fair, that's what I paid for my yorkie-pom. Please even though you love him, do not let her get away with this, because it is just not fair to do this to people. Good luck and post more pictures as he grows and I hope you keep your membership here.

sorry I just reread and saw he was about 9 weeks old when you bought him, so that also indicates she is a crappy breeder that cares more about the money aspect of breeding. Not that breeders should not make money, because if it is done correctly it is not a cheap venture. But if you charge full yorkie prices that's what you should give your customers, and you should keep them 12 weeks, give them most of their shots, and not cut corners. With these type of breeders, it does not help to just let them know you know, hit them where it hurts in their pockebook, this way they might think twice the next time. Sorry if I sound angry, I guess I am, it just makes my blood boil when people do this type of stuff.

Adorable!

Jesslmetz · 03-12-2012, 07:34 PM

No matter what he is an adorable puppy. But I agree, he does have a mix look to him! Good luck with the breeder!

citygirl123 · 03-12-2012, 07:37 PM

No matter what he is mixed with, he is very sweet looking. Love the picture of the two of you!!!!

stevesma · 03-12-2012, 07:51 PM

Thanks everybody for being so welcoming and knowledgable. We'll see if the breeder emails/calls tomorrow. Of course I would love to stay a member as everything I've learned has already paid off. I will keep ya'll informed as to our progress with both my health concerns and the breeder. Oh yeah as for the first vet, he/she said normal puppy on health certificate but neither testicle was descended at the time. I'll get to the bottom of that too.

MY OSCAR · 03-13-2012, 02:25 AM

Omg, he is just the cutest.
I have to say though he does not look all yorkie.
Maybe mixed with chihuahua or min pin
he is very sweet

Joyce Adams · 03-13-2012, 04:02 AM

BLowry · 03-13-2012, 05:42 AM

ADORABLE!!! looks like yorkie/chi to me...He is so cute!!

Taryn0405 · 03-13-2012, 06:14 AM

Welcome to YT.
Regardless if Steve is part Yorkie, he's still a cutie pie.
Also, you're still welcome regardless of what the DNA tests say! Like the others said, if you get the proof of his breed by doing the DNA tests, and also report it to the AKC, you should be getting a refund from the crappy breeder.

Good luck! And keep us posted.
