What do you guys think?

Lovely little yorkie! I agree, she probably didn't have much knowledge or experience, and their yorkies probably weren't bred with as much care and respect for the betterment of the breed. Hence theirs were the odd balls.

I just could not bring myself to say that for fear of sounding rude. I have always been like that. I know what I would like to say, but I just can not bring myself to say it.

Oh, I'd have said that, and very loud so everyone could hear! It's not rude, it's the truth! Lol.

And, yes, not many cuter than Toby!

I see no Silkie whatsoever. I do see a sweet and adorable Yorkie with a very kissable little face.

I have gotten that same thing said about Laddy who has a beautiful silky coat, and Kyra because her coat is thicker I get the what is she a "yorkiepoo" lol I used to get offended but now I just put it up to their lack of knowledge of the breed.

Toby looks as cute as can be and is definitely a yorkie from what I can see.

Toby sure looks like a Yorkie to me and is absolutely ADORABLE!

People don't recognize Zachary as a Yorkie because of his color (parti) and long tail and rather big ears! Out of the three Chihuahua's I have had, one, Foxman (at Rainbow Bridge waiting for me), had huge ears and he was my very favorite.

Need I say more ?

I remember when you posted that!

What I see is an adorable Yorkie! My local Petland sells "yorkies" with questionable backgrounds. No AKC - very obviously not quality, they look sad and pitiful. Makes you want to buy them all to rescue them, but I know that they would only be replaced by others in the same condition. I assume they are puppy mill pups . I have not stepped foot in a Petland in several years - the last time I saw a family fawning over a "yorkie" and I quietly cautioned them about pet store pups, gave them YorkieTalk's website and shared a few questions they should as when looking for a pup --

What registery - if it isn't AKC then you don't know what you are getting.....

What is the health guarantee

Can I speak to the Vet who has taken care well puppy check ups

How was the puppy raised - in a home environment or in a cage....

Of course a Petland employee couldn't answer ANY of them without putting their foot in their mouth.
