Is my benny a Yorkie or a mix? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

He looks Yorkie to me. He kept the Yorkie markings and most mixes don't do that.....it's unusual anyway. Maybe the short haircut has people wondering? Does he have a tail? Sometimes that confuses people.

He does look to be mixed, but with what. Maybe you could ask the person you got him from for possible males the female came into contact with.

They said he was full blooded but didn't have any information on him or who is parents were.

Well at least now he had a better home with someone who cares!

He is so cute. I think he may be a mix. Yorwawa (Yorkie dad, Chihuahua mom ?) OR
Chiorkie (Chihuahua Dad and Yorkie Mom ?) What ever his parents, he is just adorable !

Wow what a handsome little guy. I see Yorkie for sure. His face looks pretty much like our Bailey.

Benny is adorable no matter what he "is". You can sure see the Yorkie in him. I think the Chi is showing in the length of his nose. How old is he? He sure looks cute!!

msyorktown · 03-05-2013, 02:46 PM

Whatever he is ....he is totally adorable!

CouversMom · 03-05-2013, 04:31 PM

I agree with what the others have said. He definitely has some yorkie in him, but maybe some chi too. He's a cutie!

As long as you love him he could be part Martian right. He is beautiful

Here is a pic of Brandi after I first brought her home. She was 7 yrs old at the time.

1st As you can see she looks just like a Chi with those ears. This was after her first visit to the groomers. Her hair was so bad that we decided to just cut it all off and start from scratch.
2nd After her hair grew back. I think Brandi is probably more silky than yorkie though. Who knows and I certainly don't care.

As you can see in the 1st pic she doesn't like look like a yorkie at all. In fact people use to thinks she was either a chi or chorkie.

Hope this helps.

Here's another one of Brandi looking like a Chihuahua or Chihuahua mix
