Ears and attitude.

[lynnez]

My puppy is called a Pari-Yorkie, he came with mole skin in one ear and the other was flopped over, Now his ears are bigger than any other Yorkie's that have ever seen. He is 11 months old now is that to old to get them to stand up.
I will continue to love him no matter what but I think he would look cute if they looked like all the other Yorkies I have seen.
And as a aside could anyone explain to me how my oldest yorkie and this one can be the same breed and look so different?

Thanks ever so much
Lynn

I think you mean he is a Parti yorkie, If Mickey has various colors white, brown, gold and black hair that is called a Parti yorkie. Your question of how my oldest yorkie and this one can be the same breed and look so different? If you are referring to hair color do you mean they look different because of the color of their hair. When you selected Mickey did you see the puppy in person or see his picture, you make it sound like you purchased a puppy sight unseen. Parti yorkies are not traditional tan and grey or tan and black, Parti yorkies always have mixed colors, the basic color being white with splashes of black, brown and maybe some tan or gold. At 11 months old it is to late to get his ears to stand up, this should have been done when you first got him, shaving the hair off his ears would have been suggested to do, the less weight on their ears helps the ears to stay upright. I had 2 yorkies with floppy ears, nothing wrong with that they are still cute.
Can you post a photo of Mickey, with YT pics they have to be 200 KB or less, you may have to resize the photo to post it.

Yes it is to old to get his ears standing. I have one with huge ears and the other three all have floppy ears and I love them. The differences can be because of breeding. A good breeder stands to the standard look when a bad breeder doesn't. Also there is the possibility he could be a mix especially if he came from a bad breeder. All mine look different. Only one is AKC registered and he is a chocolate with floppy ears and 12 pounds, my other boy is 13 pounds with huge ears and a full tail with no papers and my girls are registered but not with a reputable registry and they are both 15 pounds with floppy ears.

Hi and thank-you so much for writing to me. Your right, I did buy him sight unseen. I thought that is the way that you were supposed to do it. I knew I wanted another Yorkie, so I found her name she called when she had puppies to sell and went to a neighboring state and got him. I just thought that his hair would change kinda like our first one. I will be trying to take a picture right now and if you could possibly tell me what kind he is I would sure appreciate it. Thanks in advANCE, Lynn

If you found her on a website it would say she bred Parti yorkies. If you didn't know what that was you can google it. You never, never, never buy a puppy without seeing it unless you have already purchased a pure bred puppy with no health issues, you have a good relationship with the breeder and you thrust the breeder, under those conditions then yes buy sight unseen. I am attaching pictures I got online of what Parti yorkies basically look like, does Mickey resemble any of them.

Hi,
The breeder of my first puppy Max, is the one that gave me the name of the one I got Mickey from and I took the pictures but I'm having a trouble/

[lynnez]

He cost 1500.00. But like an idiot I didn't consider anyone would try to pull anything with a living being. I'm not sure what happened

There are more bad breeders then good these days. Most of us have been there. Did he come with any papers?

[lynnez]

He did but they sure look different than Max"s. If I can figure out the picture thing I'll send you one of Mickey's papers and him if you don't mind looking at them and telling me what you think

Do you know how to use the private message function on here? I could send you my email and you could email the pictures to me.

Parti yorkies are gorgeous. I saw one for the first time a few years ago and could not stop looking at it.

I have to agree they are gorgeous. I have yet to see one in person.

I actually came across a breeder here in California that had a litter of pure bred Yorkies that all came out completely different colors. She had one traditional (black and tan), one that was all gold, a traditional parti (white with tan and black markings) a parti that was white with only gold markings, and a chocolate Yorkie! What a sight that was, Lol. I asked her how that happens, and she said that it all depends on there genetic makeup of the dam and sire and the whole line. My first Yorkies mom was all tan, but all of her litters we're traditional and none were all tan like her. My current Yorkie has a small tuft of white on her chest and a little on her chin, which says there is a parti gene somewhere in her blood line. I had seen parti’s before, but never knew they were Yorkies, Lol

My 3 year old Penny is black and tan but has a white patch on her chest, her chin and on one of her back paws and even has two white nails where the white patch is lol. I spayed her though and did not plan of breeding her.
