Cute pup, but maybe not pure Yorkie. The ears seem wide set and low and the snout has an odd angle at the bridge.

Well she never said anything about the parents (just mentioned their weight) and said it was registered with some weird registry (like ACA or something) so I'm going to pass. She was selling it for $300 which was also a little suspicious because you don't normally find them so cheap. It looked too good to be true and I guess it was! Thanks to everyone for your help! I really hope I can still find one, though it seems they're hard to come by around here.

Even if it is a full blooded yorkie. A yorkie should not leave there moms until 12 weeks old and I am guessing the breeder did not do health testing or care about the lines of her dogs which means you could end up with a puppy that has some genetic issues latter in life.

In the US when getting a puppy you want to look for AKC because you can register anything as a yorkie even a table with other registry's.

Some yorkies at 8 weeks have very little fluff. The ears do look awful low set to me though.. Below is a picture of Kyra at 7 weeks no fluff. We didn't have her yet in picture, we were just paying her a visit lol.

Looks like a yorkie pup to me BUT a poorly bred pup. As someone else mentioned, most likely no health testing on parents either at the price they are asking.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! When I posted this, I was early in my yorkie-searching phase and looking back at those pictures, I realize that pup did NOT look like a yorkie pup should at all. Luckily, I did find a puppy and I am so glad I was patient. She seems very right for me. She is coming home with me in a few days, I've already visited her and also really liked the owner and her other dogs, all very sweet

I've named her Maisy and am so excited to get started with my new life as a yorkie mom! I've included some links to a couple of pictures of her too!
