That is wild!

I would know Teddy for sure because he has very unusual coat coloring that would show even more shaved down. He also has a distinctive head shape and body build.

Max, I would like to think I would know his face. I often pull his beard back behind his head to see what he would look like without all of the hair. Still looks like himself.

Seeing them both in the bath soaking wet, I know what they look like without the fluff.

I am pretty sure I would. Tibbe's got a short muzzle and "smiley" mouth. He is bowlegged in front, stands with his elbows out at times and has a very short stub of a tail, much shorter than most Yorkies & practically never wags it unless he's playbiting me or being played with very, very roughly and he's kind of hyper - the ONLY times he wags that tiny tail. If somebody told me they had a dog with a tail that wagged constantly, I would almost certainly KNOW it wasn't Tibbe! Plus, I have close-up photos of the moles or dark spots on his tummy and know just where all of them are placed. He's also got a vestigial dew claw on the right foreleg which would further identify him and of course, he's chipped. Hopefully, I never have to identify him this way, though!

Thank the Lord those people had a responsible dog-lover who found their baby!

I don't know... I believe fear would change the sweet, innocent, trusting faces I see everyday. Look at the before and after pics of Yoshi: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...-yoshi-26.html

That is just horrible that anyone could take a dog away from its family to do that just to make some quick cash. Very sad !!

To answer your question, YES I would know my babies anywhere !

Oh my gosh! Did she ever go get Yoshi???

I can't imagine going that long without your pup to find him again.

You make a good point -- if time went by as in Yoshi's case, it would probably be difficult.

kjc · 03-12-2014, 06:41 PM

I even look back at the pics when I first got mine (all as adults), and they just all look so scared... being in a new place with new people and all. They look so different to me in their more recent pics.

I guess the next best thing is to have our babies tattooed, say like inner thigh area. I'm going to ask my vet about this.

Seeing them wet is nothing like seeing them completely shaved down. Way back when I was growing Kaji's hair, I thought the same as you; when I finally took him in to get shaved down, I'd be ok with it since I have an idea what he'd look like. I did not expect what I saw. I need to pull up some old before and after pics. It's shocking!!

This is making me want to try to grow out his hair again.

He is so miserable with long hair. He hates being brushed.

Wow, what a great question that I can't answer! I do know I'd be able to look at other little parts of their bodies to confirm it's them but geez, how scary if they were shaved down and they didn't even look like themselves!

Lovetodream88 · 03-13-2014, 06:47 AM

Well Callie is shaved down lol she also does not look like a standard yorkie so not sure she would be a money maker but she has a few special spots that wouldn't come off and are unique that would set her apart. I will never understand why or how people can steal other peoples things.

theporkieyorkie · 03-13-2014, 07:19 AM

Prince had short hair when I got him, so I think i'd probably know him. Ricky, I am not so sure about as he's always had long hair, but his coat color is pretty unique.
