| Is this really a purebred yorkie I am looking to purchase a Yorkshire terrier. I was told the puppy is a purebred ACA registered. I am a little concerned with all the white in her coat. Does anyone know if this really a purebred yorkie? Thanks for all your help! |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | ACA is not a reputable registry. She could be a mix - she could be a Biewer - she even could be purebred. If I am set on a purebred I would not go with a breeder that registers their litters with ACA

| Looks like a parti yorkie???... Sure is cute! Purebred or not, it's not a standard colored yorkie. Something else looks a bit different also. Last edited by MarkFromSea; 01-19-2016 at 12:36 PM. |

| IMO it's an adorable mix, not pure breed yorkie. ACA… is an all-breed, international canine registry, it’s a NOTHING registry, just a ploy for ppl that know little of legit registry’s.

| She's adorable. I could kiss that little girl all day and not care she isn't 100% regular Yorkie.

| She looks like a Parti Yorkie to me, so she *could* be a purebred. Everyone else is right, though, the ACA registry is meaningless. You should be able to get a reduced price compared to an AKC Yorkie. She's a cute dog. If you buy her, you can do a Wisdom Panel DNA test to get an idea of whether she's purebred Yorkie. Wisdom Panel isn't 100% perfect, but it will give you a general idea. |

| looks like a yorkie mix...please dont be fooled by these registry's that they try to convince you with...and charge a lot more...some people dont do their homework...i almost got tricked into paying a lot more for a yorkie because they were "registered" and claimed they were purebred... with that being said....the puppy is super cute and all it matters is that she goes to a loving home!
