Bently 4 weeks and 4 days!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay so I found out yesterday that Bently - The Yorkie Russel is only 4 weeks and 5 days old today. I was kinda bummed because I thoughr that I would be bringing him home May 7th. My sister in- law and I had a bit of a misunderstanding. Lol she knows the owner so she pretty much relays all the info to me. Its driving me crazy!! I cannot wait to hold this precious puppy in my arms. I will be going to visit him for my first time this weekend. I'm super excited, but I know its going to stink when its time for me to leave and he can't come home eith me. Anyway he was born march 7th. He is absolutely beautiful as you can tell from the pic :) my question to all of you now that we know exactly how old he is... is this... Do any of you believe his hair may start getting long like a yorkie?? Thank you in advance!

It should be interesting what he is going to look like. I have never heard of a jackrussel mixed with a yorkie. My Daisy is a jackrussel poodle mix..he is a cute lil guy though:)

Both of my morkies were very fuzzy by five weeks.
Here is bear lying on his maltese mom.

Hrossen11 04-30-2013 05:53 PM
I don't think his hair will be long probably look more like a wire jack russel

cnewton1992 04-30-2013 05:59 PM
Thank you to all of you. YOUR BABIES ARE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! :)

cnewton1992 04-30-2013 06:19 PM
Hrossen11, So are you saying his hair will be a little longer than a Jackrussels?

DBlain 04-30-2013 07:48 PM
Bently is a cutie, to predict what he will look like as an adult is not realistic at this point. It is hard enough (all most impossible) to predict at 4 weeks what a purebred yorkie will look like as an adult so you can't expect more than that with a mix. My pup Lola is a yorkie pom mix, I bought her at 4 months old so by that time I had more of an idea of what she would look like as an adult. She looked Yorkieish, her brother was a total brown fluff ball and looked more pom. If you google yorkie poms or yorkie-jack russels you will see a wide variety of looks. If you want a better idea of what a mixed pup will look like full grown you need to buy one at around 12 weeks or older, even then it is still a crap shoot.

I should have asked you this, are you looking for a dog that looks like a yorkie or one that looks like a Jack Russel?

I have actually always wanted a Yorkie! You know how exspensive they can be though and my husband and I can just not afford one at this time. I've tried to adopt but even to adopt it is almost just as exspensive everywhere I have looked. So to answer your quedtion a Yorkie. Lol I just got lucky and she is giving this precious yorkie russel away.

If you want a the look of a yorkie my advice is to not compromise. Either save more money and get one a year for now, or buy a mix that is at least several months older so you can tell more what it will look like full grown. That's what I did when I bought Lola, I had 4 purebreds before her and this time wanted something different but NOT that different. I keep searching and found Lola who was a mix but at 4 months I could tell had a lot of yorkie look in her. Contrary to what it may feel like there are puppies out there between 3 and 6 months.

Jack Russels are wonderful highly energetic dogs, but are bigger and have much different hair than yorkies. Goggle Jack Russels and JR mixes as ADULTS, if you are happy with that look then go for this puppy, but if you heart is set on the look of a yorkie than I would pick a different one. When selecting a puppy you have to remember two things, the puppy look only lasts for about 7 months and if you are lucky you get to live with the adult dog about 12 years or even longer. So don't by a dog based on what they look like as a puppy but by what they will look like full grown

I showed u a bunch of pics of yorkie/Russel mixes yesterday.. They are very cute dogs but the fur is short. If u can't afford a yorkie just enjoy this baby for now until u can give him a little brother or sister yorkie.

Thank you so much for all your advice and also your information on the Yorkie breed :) You have been quite helpful :) I now have looked at the Yorkie Russel mix and have gotten a better idea of what he may look like. I'm a dog lover in general so I know that I will fall in love with him. Although I have always wanted a Yorkie... I coukd always save up as both of you suggested and get a Yorkie in the future. I will keep you all updated with pics and info... :) I can't wait until I get him home.

what do you mean for now, a pup should be a long term commitment, like 12 years or more. Free puppies should not just fill in the gap until someone can afford what they want. I know you did not mean it the way it sounded and they OP is probably not even thinking this way, but sadly it happens, puppies grow up to not be as cute as one thought they would be. A free dog is great if you want that breed or type of a dog, but if you don't, that free dog might become a PITA that you have to take care of, groom and feed.

Well that is good to hear, I probably worry needlessly but have heard so many stories about people that give a puppy up because it got bigger, or was more hyper or shed, and so forth that I really want people to understand that when buying a mix so young none of us can really predict how the pup might develop. I bet the pup will be great, but when you seemed so hopeful to see yorkie in him I was afraid, that if you did not you might be disappointed, but from what you just posted it sounds like you will be happy just to have a pup, and that is so great to hear

It doesn't even read like that.. I would never suggest getting rid of the doggie. I meant she can only afford one dog for now. So enjoy your one dog until you can have two doggies. That one day she will be able to have the yorkie of her dreams. And I quote "give this dog a little brother or sister" to play with.

No. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. That did come out very wrong! You can be rest assured that he will have a forever home with me. He is adorable and although he will not always have that little puppy face I can tell he will be beautiful. :) what I meant to say is sooner or later we can always add a yorkie to our family as well so Bently can have a playmate. I would never ever use a puppy until I could get another Breed. I'm so sorry for the confusion. Like I said as soon as I get him I know thst I will be inlove

Thank you, I most certainly will. I can't wait to visit him this weekend. I can't wait to see his precious face. Thank you again.

Okay, I'm sorry y'all. I'm sure yall can tell I'm new to this bc I just totally replied to something that was not even towards me. I'm sorry to you both for my confusing posts. LOL Thank you both! You have been of great help. I will keep you both up to date with my precious new addition to the family. :)

no problem these chat forums can easily get confusing, I hope you know I have nothing against your choice in pups, I just wanted you to go into it eyes wide open since it is a long term commitment. I spent a lot of money on my pup prior to Lola, I hate to admit it but I sort of knew from day one that this was not the right puppy for me, but I thought I was crazy, that I could make it work, when in fact I should have returned him, but I was stubborn

Sometimes dogs that are just being given away can cost you more money because they don't know if there dogs had a history in there lines
(like parent and grandparents) for genetic illness and I'm guessing the breeder didn't do genetic and health test on the dogs she breed. A puppy can seem perfectly healthy for a long time and then wham they show symptoms of a genetic illness and can cost you thousands of dollars just to diagnose and more to take care of it. It is just something to think about when money is an issue.

DBlain 04-30-2013 09:44 PM
Taylor is correct in her post above, often when you get a pup from an opps or a breeder that does not health test the health of the pup is a crap shoot. I did not know Lola's past so I spent a bunch of money on blood work and other tests before really giving my heart to her. I had the tests done the day after I picked her up and the results shortly after. To me the $200.00 I spent was well worth it.

I don't mean to be nosy but can I ask what kinda test you did? Like just health stuff of like genetic stuff?

I had a full blood work panel done, where they checked kidney and liver functions and anything else that could be tested with blood work, I wanted one of those BAT tests, but the vet said it was not necessary since her blood work was normal. I also had a general x ray done of the chest area, which again the vet said I did not need but I pushed for. I had the blood work done again the following year. And I kept trying to get the vet to look really closely at her heart since she pants hard while playing, vet said I did not need to worry, but LOL after a year on YT I keep waiting for the shoe to drop. I do think the blood work is a good idea since now I know what is normal for Lola and plan to repeat this every year in the spring.

I had my first test done the day after I picked her up and was fully prepared emotionally to take her back if I did not get good results. I have a neighbor that bought a morkie from her friend and it had pretty bad liver shunt right out of the gate, so like you said a cheap puppy can get pretty expensive, but then so can a pound puppy. Of course even with the numerous tests I had for Lola things can still go wrong

I will definitely ask her if she has looked into his genetics. Thank you!
