HELP: Is she a YORKIE? 2 Attachment(s) I just brought a 11 month old female yorkie :confused: She currently weighs 10 pounds. Standing next to my male yorkie who is 6 pounds i'm starting to question her real origin. Can someone please take a look at the silver and black female and let me know what you think. |
Well when i looked at the pictures she does but then she doesnt, please take a look at the link i have provided for it might help you out a bit: Yorkshire Terrier Breed Standard Also if i may ask where and who did you get her from? :) |
A rescue center... |
Where did you get her? You buy her as a purebreed? She looks like a Yorkie to me just the breeding wasn't very selective. |
Rescue center enjoy your dog. |
Can you give me a example of selective breeding? |
She could be a purebred, but if so maybe a poorly bred yorkie. But she's a rescue enjoy and cherish her!! If you would like to really know you could take her to the vet and get her a DNA test done like one on another thread. :) |
She's beautiful and looks like a wonderful girl that will love you like with all her heart! :) |

So they match there dogs with other dogs. Then theres breeders who just pump out puppies and don't care if they match standard or not. All puppies are cute, They will sell them and make $$. Then theres ppl who just want puppies and if the see another Yorkie they will mate them to have puppies no health check or whatever. Then responsible ppl have there dogs altered and don't try to bred them. Basically theres ppl who do a good job and ppl who don't know how. But you rescued your dog enjoy her she will love you. |

Thank u |
She is beautiful and I bet she is going to be the best of company. You are special to give her a loving home:) |
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! She is adorable and looks happy playing with her new brother. She also looks like a full Yorkie to me. |
She's a doll and looks very happy! |
she is beautiful... yes maybe a little bigger then some yorkies but more to love. I have a shih tzu that grew and grew and GREW.... very big for his breed but he is beautiful and the sweetest dog ..we love him very much |
She's a cutie, and she looks all Yorkie to me. You have to remember that Yorkies come in all sizes that they are not all dread down to the smallest or for standards. Plus their heritage of larger dogs breed many years ago in order to get a Yorkies can come back in the line and produce a larger Yorkie at any time. My girl who is all Yorkie from two non standard Yorkie parent is 18 lbs. |
In doing some research I read that Yorkshire Terriers were initially bred as 20 pound rat hunting dogs. So maybe some genes got expressed from generations ago in her bloodline? Full yorkie or not (and she looks yorkie to my untrained eye), she is definitely a beauty. But wow, she's only 10 lbs? She looks so much bigger than your 6 lb little guy. |

Mine is 13lbs and I just rescued him last Friday :-) Congrats and feel good you just saved a life :-) He definitely is full Yorkie and is built a lot like your girl. The coloring may be different, but can't they be more bluish anyway? Just give her extra love, she probably needs it after her experience. |
Hello and welcome to yt. She is a cutie |

Harry's purebred 'over here', but certainly looks similar to your little girl....congratulations on her, and enjoy!! :) Sally + Harry :aimeeyork x |
Shes cute and looks like a yorkie. They come in all sizes |
welcome to YT. she looks like a yorkie to me |
She is a very cute little girl. It's hard to say what she is. She certainly looks very Yorkieish. People who breed off standard dogs often produce pups that do not look much like the original. Purebreds do not maintain their characteristics when not bred properly. That may be why she does not look like a traditional Yorkie. The genetics of purebred breeding can be quite complex. The rescue may not even be sure of you little girl's background. She obviously has quite a bit of terrier in her. Give her lots of love and enjoy the fact that you have given her a new and better life. |

Awe she is a cutie, she looks like a lighter version of my Guiney. |
She looks a lot like my Pixi. Pixi is a little over 5 months old and I am sure she weighs my than my traditional looking Yourkie, who is 5.6 lbs. |
She's a cutie! She looks purebred to me :) |
I don't think so |

So why do you not think so? Yorkshire Terriers were from 'over here'....there are LOADS of permutations....:)... Sally and Big Boy Harry :D x |
