Why does everyone think my yorkie doesn't look like a yorkie?

He is adorable either way, but I'm a little thrown off by the website you gave. This site is simply selling puppies for breeders. Did you actually talk with the breeder? Also, the site is called "Purebred Breeders" but they also sell "designer breeds" which are mixes NOT purebred.

You bought your puppy from here?

They are brokers. No reputable breeder would provide them with puppies.

It just concerns me because i did pay a great deal for him so if he isn't purebred (although i love my pup very much) i wouldn't have paid that much for him.

If you check their website, they do sell mixed (they call them designer pups). I think you paid way too much for your puppy, but call it a good lesson learned. He is a beautiful guy and with your love and care he will grow to be a lifetime friend! Pray for the dishonest people that sold him to you and move on. Enjoy YT, they are a great group with full of information!

He looks it to me'

I always think when in doubt, get a DNA done. It isn't expensive and if he is pure yorkie then you will be satisfied. If not, get a lawyer to help you get your money back.

Again, NO reputable breeder would give his/her dogs to be sold in such a way. Did you actually meet the doggie parents of your puppy? Did you see them in their daily environment? Did you meet the actual breeder at his/her home?

What I find more concerning than the looks of a puppy, is that money was given to support this kind of facility.

Definitely not a reputable site. Sorry.

Those tests really aren't 100% sure and come back sometimes with laughable results.

you're absolutely right, either way i got myself a happy, healthy puppy and thats all i can ask for.

Unfortunatly we as dog lovers dont know these things until we come here. Usually after we have our babies.

He is a beautiful lil boy, sorry if you got scammed, what matters is that you love him, enjoy him.

I hope he stays that way. I would look into pet insurance that coved genetic illness because some will not pop up until 2 years of age or older. Has he been to the vet yet?

his insurance gives a 10 year guarentee from any prior diseases, etc. Also i have taken him to the vet and he's a healthy little boy so for me that's all that matters.
To be honest, i wouldn't even care if he was a mixed breed, i just wish i wasn't being lied to, thats what stinks about this whole situation.
apparently i should be getting his registration forms in the mail soon along with his parent's so i suppose the truth will come out eventually

What insurance are you talking about like a health guarantee because that is a lot different then insurance. Pet insurance reimburse you for most of the cost of this like getting the dog fixed, Luxating Pattella surgery, liver shunt surgery and other surgeries that can cost a lot of money. He can appear perfectly health but still have many health issues pop up over the years.
