Hello and Welcome. Yes its so sad that pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills. and so sad that they are sick.I feel so sorry for them and the parents. If you do get a puppy ...please take it right to the vets to get checked.And yes the picture looks like a yorkie to me.

The other one was even cuter, she's really tiny and has the sweetest look.

Most pet shops in HK let you return the puppy within 24 hours if there is something wrong after you take him / her home. But usually there is no refund, can only exchange for another one.

By the way, most smaller Yorkies, that grow up to 3lbs or so, will most likely have more health problems, maybe now.. or maybe later in life. It may be a little easier to find a healthier yorkie that grows up to be 7-10 or so pounds.

Im really curious about your Vets diagnosis of the last Yorkie puppy you returned. Did he do any other test? Alot of pet store puppies have kennel cough which can be easily treated and have no problems later on in life. Im just curious why he thought there may be bigger problems.

Goodluck on finding a healthy puppy!!!! It seems like even here in the US its hard to find a healthy pup sometimes, I cant imagine how it must be there!!!

What a cutie, let us know if you get him, his little mask looks like "Batman"

Jaspermom · 02-14-2006, 04:58 AM

Oh my goodness, what a cutie pie! If he's healthy, I say go for it!

rrosenberry · 02-14-2006, 05:26 AM

His coloring and his ears, are just what Bailey looked like at that age, He is all Yorkie.

sabrinasmom · 02-14-2006, 07:59 AM

Precious. Just precious. Yes, that looks all Yorkie to me.

icy · 02-14-2006, 08:04 AM

I'm going to try and make the trip to go see this little one before mki buys on impluse.............I'll try and make sure everything's right........

Looks yorkie to me. Looks almost indentical to my new yorkie puppy Chloe. Chloe also has the gray/silver around her eyes.

chachi · 02-14-2006, 08:35 AM

He looks like a cute litlle yorkie to me.

cheryl000 · 02-23-2006, 07:09 PM

it looks like a yorkie. But I think it's VERY young to already be in a pet shop. I hope he hasn't been there for weeks. I hate to think how young he was when they took him away from his mother. I would say not to buy him from a petshop. I would buy from a responsible, god breeder that someone recommends to you. It may be expensive now, but it is likely to save you from huge vet bills and heartbreak in the future.
good luck

Welcome to Yt. I know you will like it here. The people are wonderful and you will get great info here. Your pup looks like a Yorkie to me. A very cute one if I may add. You should take the pup to the vet A.S.A.P to make sure it's healthy and also to get all it's shots. I hope evrything turns out well for you and your new furbaby. Good Luck and keep us posted.

It does look like a yorkie, but I see some discoloration and discharge around the eyes. I'd be careful if I were you. Good luck!

lilbumbleybees · 02-23-2006, 08:44 PM

Welcome to YT! It's definately a Yorkie Baby. I would be very weary of the pet shop though. If you can at all find a private breeder, I would head that way instead as pet shop puppies are more commonly sick then healthy. I wish you the best of luck!!!
