| Help!!! Is my Yorkie really a pure breed or mix breed? Hi everyone I bought this Yorkie or suppose to be Yorkie Saturday. The lady I bought her from said that she is a pure breed Yorkie but she doesn't have papers on her and when the lady took her to the vet to get her first set of shots the veterinarian told the lady that she is a pure breed Yorkie..the lady never did give me her shot record to prove that she really is a Yorkie. To me she looks like a mix breed and I need your help!!! What do u think she is??? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I can't exactly tell her colors in this pic...is she partly white? If so, I wonder if she is a morkie? Otherwise, she may have parti coloring as a yorkie. Welcome to YT !

| Maybe a parti-colored Yorkie? The hair on the legs looks awfully thick for a Yorkie, though I suppose she could have a cotton coat. |

| Not that it matters if she is Yorkie or mixed she is adorable! If I were to guess she looks a lot like a foster that I had a few years ago who I believe was a Yorkie/Poodle mix. She is very cute and congratulations! What is her name and how old is she?

| It's hard to tell from just one picture. She looks a bit like my Pippi, who is pure yorkie but has a cotton coat and is long and lean. If you look at my album, you'll see her. I keep her hair short, as it mats easily and picks up everything from the grass/woods. When her muzzle has long hair she looks more like your dog. What do you think? What's her name, are you keeping her? What is she like, friendly, nervous? Do you know which vet she went too? You need to be sure she did go to the vet and get those shots. She's adorable, hope you have a lot of fun and joy together.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Welcome to YT. Yorkie or not she is cute as a button! If how-ever you want a definitive answer about purebred status, that can only be found out through the registration papers and documentation and DNA testing. You run the DNA test on the pup and then compare that DNA test results to the parents DNA. That will tell you definitively if your pup came from these parents who hopefully were registered with a reputable registry. Alternatively you can get a best "guesstimate" by running a Mars Wisdom Panel test. Although far from 100% accurate, it can be interesting to see what "breed" or breeds of dog your pup has in her. Enjoy your pup. She looks like a sweetie

ohh Sally, now that you've said that, I can see it. You don't see many Dandie Dinmonts these days (step gran had them). A cutie for sure. I'd love to see more pic's of her.

YT 500 Club Member | Can't really tell because of how you are holding her and the pic color.. But she kinda looks part Maltese...so I would say a Morkie. But I need to see a better pic... She's adorable tho. I would be happy either way |

| She's a lil cutie, what's her name. If she's not full yorkie she could be a morkie, (Maltese / yorkie). You will love and spoil her no matter what she is.
