YT Addict | Yorkie-Russell Mix, do they look like Yorkies? So alot of Yorkie-lovers out there go "Oh is he a Yorkie mix?" and after that many questions, after the guy keeps growing, after everyone looks at him confused that he's a yorkie- my husband has said for the last while "Do you think he could be mixed with Jack Russel? Wired hair maybe?" So i googled. Now, we know that we got Derby "cheap" and being uneducated people we were (at the time) when I was surprised with a "Yorkie" I didn't think much of it. I loved him no matter what! He looked like a Yorkie to me! I asked YT and they said Yorkie! The more he grows the more people go... are you SURE? No, No we're not SURE! And the breeders? The email no longer works to even send them updated pictures! He's a healthy happy doggy, and we love him regardless but there's always that thought in the back of my head of "Why doesn't he look like other Yorkies? Why does everyone think he's mixed? Why are we even questioning this?" It doesn't matter to us because we love him, but identity matters I saw this picture of a mix and boy, does it ever look like the Derbsters! http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1207/...9685b30274.jpg And if you go to this page Yorkie Russell Information, Yorkie Russells, Yorkie Jack Russell Hybrid You'll see various Yorkie/Russell mixed and if you look further down the page (the dark haired "Ponca" (with his littermate) and the other pictures of Ponca it reminds me SO MUCH of Derby!! Any other info on Yorkie/Russell crosses??? Anyone have one?? How Do you know if you have one?? God any pictures to show me???

YT Addict | Looks like a Derby to me! Just because we try to grow his hair, doesn't make him a Yorkie I guess... Yorkie mix he could be! Love you just the same Derby! I am still allowed on Yorkietalk ...

| Wow, whatever he is.. he is a cutie! I think he might be a Yorkie-Russell mix.. He is darker colored and has those longer legs.

YT Addict | Well Derby is HUGE! lol! almost 11 pounds now, and 6 months old! Long legs, long body, those Jack ears! I kept saying he had "Dumbo" ears, but every pic I see of a Jack-Russel mix has the same ears...at least I can grow his hair... (not that is gets long but...) My husband said "Do I know my dogs, or do I know my dogs?" He's said that about Derby since almost the beggining lol (ps that's not DERBY! lol! but it could be!)

| How old is he? He could be a mix but he could also just be a poorly bred Yorkie (and I mean that affectionately). I have five rescues and none of them are the same. Your boy reminds me a lot of my Jersey. Jerey was a poorly bred Yorkie. My hubby and boys got her for me one Mother's Day after we had learned we were losing our 11 yr. old Yorkie to cancer. Jersey looked so much like your boy. Eventually at 17 months her hair grew in. Never full like some Yorkies but def. looked Yorkie then. She had the longer legs and longer body. We lost Jersey at 17 months to a brain tumor, and I think about her all the time. Your boy really resembles her. Elaine |

YT Addict | Derby is 6 months old. The first picture is the most recent picture- the rest are various shots. I'm trying to find the one that looks exactly like the other dog... it's derby right out of a bath, but I can't find it. I'm trying to grow his face like alot of Yorkie faces I see- and i think it's cute

| He looks like a yorkie to me, except his ears are down, but I've seen lots of yorkie pics and their ears aren't up, he is super cute!

| I don't really see Jack Russell... I think he's probably just a poorly bred Yorkie and I don't mean that in a bad way, lol. My boy is 12lbs at 1 year old and I get ALL the time... "That's a Silky!" or "there's no way he's a Yorkie!" I've had a few people tell me he looks like a Cairn Terrier even. Like you -- I didn't get him from a good breeder or anything but I did see his mom and a photo of the dad and they were both smaller than he is now (8 and 9 lbs) so he just kept growing, LOL. Personally, I prefer the look of the "non standard" Yorkies, I love floppy ears (even tho Jackson's aren't floppy) and I love the bigger ones... I don't know what it is, I just do.
