He does have a poodle look about his eyes and face and ears. Could very well be Yorkipoo. The only Yorkipoo I ever saw in person was a grown one and it's hair stuck out long and fluffy, even on its head. But poodles have a look in the face of this little guy.

He is sooooo cute, I love his fur. When I first saw his picture thought he had poodle in him as well and his nose is long. Congratulations on your little baby and welcome to YT!

I would say he has poodle in him too, this was my Riley at 8 weeks:

Goodmorning everyone, I haven't gotten much rest poor Jax has been crying through the night he's got a deep and loud pitched bark which makes it very hard to sleep through... Anyway I want to say thank you again for your answers they all point to one direction, Yorkie poo that is. I will contact the breeder today in regards. I'll be back later today to post again.

Wisdom Panel DNA test. While not perfectly accurate if it comes back with a significant percentage that is NOT Yorkshire Terrier - you have yourself a sweet mix.

Also always request the papers - You can register your dog with the AKC on limited registration. There are some perks of membership - such as pet insurance rates. Another item you should be thinking of - and pay for the one that covers genetic defects.

Looks like a sweet puppy. If you settle him on the floor in his crate by your bed he should settle down soon. Also remember to keep him warm at night. We have our crate on a rug, plus a warm bed inside his crate.
We also cover the top of his crate with a blanket. Summertime we don't.

Jax is very cute. He does look like a Yorkie Poo to me.

Hey Danny1909, what a cute boy you have there! I agree that his longish snout doesn't look too "Yorkie" but hey, he's a doll! I love that you also have another Shih Tzu pup, Toby. We also have our Yorkie (Trouble) and Shih Tzu (Twinkie) as brothers. Our Yorkie is a "teapot" variety, as he's much bigger than other Yorkies. He is a purebred, but he's big. His parents were much smaller, his mom weighed 10 lbs and his dad 12lbs, but he's 18! He's not fat, just big all over, long and kind of tall. They're all precious, we just love 'em don't we? YEP!

Heya your puppy is super cute,i was interested to know what breeder did you use and did you see mother and father.

pstinard · 04-25-2013, 05:37 AM

Is he AKC registered? He definitely looks mostly Yorkie, if not 100%. The color and hair appearance is right, but the nose seems a little long. There is some variation in Yorkies' appearance, so he could still be a purebred. I'm not sure whether there is a routine DNA test to determine if a Yorkie is purebred, but if there is, let us know!

navillusc · 04-25-2013, 10:15 AM

He's adorable...I agree maybe more like Yorkie-Poo...but gosh what a cute face he's got! I had a Yorkie-Poo many years ago and he was the sweetest, smartest and most personable little dog. He went everywhere with me. My Yorkie-Poo had a straight, silky coat and Yorki-tude, but his training went very well and he loved it when I did exactly what he trained me to do...otherwise he would snub me...literally...nose in the air, etc. lol This little guy just looks so happy and comfy snuggling in your lap...congratulations!

joyce evans · 04-25-2013, 10:26 AM

Looks Yorkiepoo to me and what a handsome little guy he is. And or but ...if you find out the he is not pure Yorkie and the breeder told you he was...please let YT know who this person is so that others can be warned. Regardless of what he is you got a real keeper!!!

coolcowsmoo · 04-25-2013, 10:38 AM

I am positively certain he is 100%... cutie pie! He's simply adorable
