| Is my Yorkie pure breed?? Hi everyone! When I bought my puppy I was told he was pure breed but I am not sure he is. How can I tell if he really is pure breed? Here is one picture, he was 12 weeks when the picture was taken. |

| I'm guessing they didn't give you any kind of papers? You can always do a DNA test if you want to know for sure. Your pup looks almost exactly like my Toki when she was a little puppy! He is a cutie! |

| He looks like a yorkie to me. As mentioned you can do a DNA test. Unless you paid a premium price, if you love that little boy, you'll be rewarded beyond your dreams. |

| It is hard to say when they are puppies if they are purebred. No papers? What is it that makes you think he is not purebred? |

| He looks like a pure bred yorkie to me, when you first got him the breeder did not have AKC paperwork on him? Anyhow, he is darling, without a doubt to me he looks 100% yorkie.

| Did I miss the post where it was explained why the seeds of doubts had been planted in OP's head???? |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | No, and to the OP, those two pictures you posted were definitely of different age pups. The bottom pic IMO is a much younger dog than 12 wks.
