| Is my pup a full yorkie? Hi I just brought home my precious new baby Ariel Rose. I drove to the absolute middle of nowhere to purchase her. From what he told me, she was born on march 6th which makes her a bit older then 6 weeks, her mother died during a c section so she was hand fed. After I got her home she was very out of it and did not want to eat. Found out she was hypoglycemic and had some type of parasite on her skin. After a trip to the vet we got her eating again and feeling much better. At 6 weeks she weighed in at 2.7 lbs. Which I thought was kinda big and has me wondering if she is full yorkie? |

| Welcome to YT! What a cutie pie she is She looks like she could be mixed with Maltese maybe which would make her a Morkie ( I am no expert). My niece has a Morkie and let me tell she is so stinkin cute and we just love her to pieces.

| I am really not sure I know they come in all shapes and sizes. Other people on here have much more knowledge than I do.

It is hard to say if she is pure yorkie but she is definitely some yorkie. I think that is a good weight for her age. Yorkie come in a lot of different sizes from 2 lbs all the way up 20 lbs . | |

| Gratz to you. I can't tell about the full breed or not, but she sure is pretty. As for size, they come in all sizes. I would just wait and see. |

| Ok don't think I am crazy for asking The reason I asked is because trust me in the long run the fact that she is "bigger" is to your benefit. I have a 4 year old and Georgie is 4lbs while we do pretty good on making it work I worry a lot. I worry more about him with other little ones because our son knows his limits with Georgie.

| She does look "Yorkie", though going to be on the larger scale. If you want those ears up, you need to shave all of the hair off (underside of them also). Use those safe mustache trimmers that won't cut her skin.

| Yeah I guess it is better for her to be a bit bigger with the kiddos LOL. I also didn't want her to small either cause I want to breed her in the future, and I know its harder for the yorkies when there to small. |

| You're not sure if she's a purebred yorkie, but you want to breed her?

| I have a Yorkie mix who is 17 pounds we were saying 21 but he's been on a needed diet. My pure Yorkie is 12.2 pounds. I've seen a nearly 20 pound Yorkie not too long ago although I can't say for sue it was pure it sure looked it-really they can be larger and it should be expected if you looked at recessive genes and the breed's history. I prefer over standard Yorkies so I'd feel really blessed to have a large one-yours looks pure to me, however you never can tell until you see the DNA test results. IS she AKC and you bought her on full registration? You have her health tested and have ensured she matures into breeding quality? You have worked under a mentor and can properly match her, deal with whelping and advise your buyers properly? I'm thinking no to a lot if not all of that since you aren't aware of basic grooming-didn't know about shaving ears? Please think a lot more before breeding and if you can still answer yes to all of the above them ask if you are prepared to loose her just as her mom was lost... I assure you however she is a very adorable pet dog.
