please take a look at these photos for me~ 2 Attachment(s) I just got an email from my breeder...I am getting a new yorkie from them...in about 2weeks For some reason, I wont be able to go there to pick him up...so they send me some photos of them at 5 wks and 8 wks...(it's boy yorkies) ================================================== ===== according to my breeder, their personality is... Puppy #1(breeder gave them names,but only for this posting I use #) he is my very sweet kissy boy. He is the one that will roll over on his back to get belly rubs. I absolutely LOVE his personality and his look. He looks like a teddybear, shorter legs than the other one, also shorter body length. Very nice and cobby, nice straight back, good level bite. His coat is also thick but silky which is very nice. This one is a little smaller than boy number two. Puppy #2 He prefers running around more than being held. Cute boy either way, little bit longer body, stands a little taller than boy number one. He does have a nice straight back, a good bite, and a nice coat as well. This little guy is sweet too but is more independent than the other brother. ================================================== ===== they both are very healthy...Heard from ppl that owns dogs, puppies personality will change over time anyway...and I'm very new to yorkies... The breeder seems prefer the first one...but just for the appearance, to me the second one is more close to what I imagine a yorkie would looks like... also Dont know about thick hair, short legs and tall height...which one looks cuter when they grow up?? ^^ I'm confused..Honestly.I like them both..because they look alike( the second one has white hair on his chest) I would keep them both if I can...^^ Please, Help me out! Thanks in advance~ |
On looks alone (because I believe a lot of dogs temperament can be molded to their environment and how they're raised) I say #2, he is the cutest thing ever!!:) unless you're wanting a show dog I don't think their length and leg height matters too much ? Good luck :) |

Welcome! I think they are both adorable. |
Oh I love the look of #2! Isn't it funny how everyone can have their own favorite? Blazer's breeder absolutely LOVED the one we named Grizzly- she thought that he was SOOOO handsome, but no one else (in the "family") really cared for his looks. I fell in love with Blazer immeadiately- I didn't even consider taking one of the other pups. Initially it was all based on his looks, too. I just stuck with my gut feeling and I'm so pleased by the results! When DH went to pick out our GSP 8 years ago he went with his gut and chose Buddy even though the breeder was trying to push DH to take a different male. Stick with your gut feeling- I doubt you'll ever regret it! =) |
I think they are both just adorable. For me, there is no way I would buy a puppy without being able to go and pick them and actually see the place they are coming from. I would most certainly not trust a breeder that didn't allow this. |
I think they are both adorable, too! Did they say why, you can not go see them? I always go by instinct and love to see how they interact with you. I would try to go see them in person! |
Either one is adorbale. I would probably go with number 1 based on breeders description of his personality. Good luck. |
I agree I would need to see them interacting plus I like to see their home environment. They both look the similar to be so I would need to watch them before deciding. This is what happened to me. Our breeder just had a new litter and we wanted a girl so based on looks we chose one (we had first pick). When the pups were 5 weeks old we got to visit them. Right away this little boy comes over and starts licking my DH hand and wants to be rub. He starts interacting with everybody and is playing with mom. The other puppies including the girl we chose were just watching. Plus the girl has a very cotton coat and the male is silky. Our current puppy is very active and we have an active lifestyle so instead we switched puppies and will be getting the boy. It was his personality that fit us better. This is why it is so important to see them in person. |
Both puppies are adorable. The best clue to what they might look like as adults is to look at their parents. Personally I would insist on seeing the parents and where these dogs live and are bred. Some breeders will say that they can't risk having visitors for health and security reasons related to pups. Some of these people might be legitimate, but many are not. They ask to meet pet buyers at a public location and often deliver a pup that is not the one in the pictures. Be cautious. |
Why did she say you can't go there? If you are having trouble choosing, visiting in person might help you based on how they interact with you. I remember when I got my golden, my boy pushed his way through the litter to get to me as if he knew I was supposed to pick him. He was right. My yorkie was the only one for sale because the breeder kept his sister, but I still got to go to her house to pick him up. I hope she is not hiding something like a puppy mill or nasty living conditions? Just based on the descriptions, how do you imagine your puppy to be. My boy was independent and outgoing from the day he was born and he still is 9 years later, although the older he gets, the more loving he gets. He only cuddles when HE wants to and he prefers my husband, but he told me I'm a pretty good 2nd best, LOL. Although their personalities can change, it sounds like she thinks #1 is more of a cuddle bug and a lover, and #2 is more independent and outgoing. Go with your gut instinct. |
One more note . . . One of the reasons I like AKC registration and having papers with the pup is verification of who the actual parents are. Some breeders manage to trick the system and still pass pups off as something they are not, but for the most part, it is a good means of making sure you get the right pup. This is important for looks and health. |
I think both are so adorable but I would choose #1. |
I would absolutely never puchase a puppy without seeing both parents and where they grew up! |
I think you should take both of them :) |
I just had to jump in here for two reasons; First, my hubs puppy is now 13 weeks old and absolutely adorable. He has short little legs, a great puppy coat, is small but healthy, strong and active. That's the thing, he loves to give kisses and wants to be around us ... for at least a minute, but after that we can forget it. He is so different from my two older puppies in that he doesn't like to be held, or sit in my lap or cuddle ... he just wants to run, play, aggravate, and do his own thing. In fact, he's so head strong that I started training him today just to "stand" so I can check him out. He's my little tiny juvenile delinquent. :eek: Based on the puppy personalities of my first two Yorkies, I would totally want the first puppy you described, the one that likes to cuddle and be connected to its people. :) Now my second reason for posting; Please don't buy a puppy from a breeder that will not let you come to their home or kennel. RED flags are waving high for so many reasons! :( As for the puppies, they are both cute puppies, but then again most all puppies are cute in one way or another. Right? ;) |
They both are adorable.. I noticed number two has a white patch on his chest. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a sought after marking? It's a sign that the pup will have a nice coat when an adult. That's what I've read.. But it's a question for breeders prolly. Either way they both are so cute! |

Would you name the breeder? I know of a few problem breeders in SOCA and would not want anyone to buy from them. There are several yorktkers here that have purchased in your area and could maybe chime in. |
Everything has been said that I would say. They are both cute and I don't think you could go wrong EXCEPT for not being able to meet the breeder, the parents, and see the pups in their habitat right now. Curious - why can't you go to the breeder's home? Also, is this breeder AKC and YTCA registered? |
If there breeder is not going to let you come see the pups, there parents, and where they are living I would walk away and find another breeder because that is one of the things puppy mills do and or brokers which are not good. |
They are both adorable! I'm sure you probably have your heart set on getting one of these puppies but you really need to check this breeder out first just to make sure it isn't a puppy mill you're dealing with. We weren't able to go to our breeders to pick out our pups but that was our decision not the breeders. Our breeder also came highly recommended on this site. There are a lot of experienced people on YT. I'd give the breeders name and see what they have to say. Good luck! |
Oh my I love #1s little face!!! But yea like others have said the not seeing him and the home setup first before purchase is a HUGE red flag for me also, plus I tend to go on the puppy reacts to me and let them pretty much pick their own home. |
For looks I like #1 but for personality I like #2. No help I know but personality is important |
Thank you all! Thank you all for the concerns, info and opinions... I'm pretty new to this website and I posted this thread last nite, but for hours the thread didnt show up on the website, so I thought that the posting was erased or deleted somehow...so when I saw this replies just now, I was shock!! thank you so much for helping me decided and also all the concerns...and also veryy sorry for the late reply... We have decided to go with #1...Sorry that I didnt clarify about the reason that I cant be there to choose...It's not that the breeder insisted of not coming to thier place..Oh..no..it wasnt like that....It's a long story...and we are sure that the the breeder is legitimate...(I dont know if that's the right word:) anyhow, our breeder is very nice & trusty people who cares of dogs so much!! thier dog is AKC registered as well...anyhow, thanks so much! and I'll post more pics when I get him...his bday is feb, 25 and Iill be pick him up either may 8th or 15th...cant wait!!! |

I think they are both cute :) I also think you should be able to see them, before I got my Riley the breeder let me see him every week for hour visits so he got use to m and my partner, I thought it was such a good idea. It made it so much easier when we took him home. |
Why are you not allowed to visit the pups? |
^^..make it simple..just too far~~ |
If you are totally comfortable with the breeder and trust that either pup is good health, then that is what we are all concerned about. I'm happy to see you made your choice. What a cutie :) When you get your little one home, we want lots of pics ok? We love pics around here ;) |
