is this a purebred yorkie? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

SnowWa · 05-15-2006, 10:27 PM

I thought it might be a Yorkie - and after looking at it again - I really do think it's a purebred Yorkie --- with a very short haircut. And actually, when this little girl's hair grows out - I think she'll good!

Big ears!!! -- start looking at pictures on YT -- There are a lot of Yorkies with big ears...

Don't know why you would think that ishe is not purebred, it looks completely yorkie just shaved down. When I worked at a groomer's the yorkies were shaved down for the summer and they all looked exactly like this. She will be very beautiful once her hair grows out, although she looks like a cotton yorkie, so her hair will harder to take care of, but nonetheless she is already adorable and she will be gorgeous once her hair grows out.

I think it could be, my Zack looks very similar and he's AKC, I've never shaved him his hair just hasnt grown much for some reason, but he's only 2 months old, so I think when he's 4 if I shaved him he'd look like that picture.

She looks all yorkie to me, we see a lot of them here, shaved down very short

She could be pure yorkie but if she isn't I'll wager that the other half is chihuahua. Looks just like a little apple domed head to me.

When I first looked at this post yesterday...I thought not. But in looking at it again today I have had a change of mind and am in agreement that this little girl is purebred. Her hair color pattern is great and I think as her coat grows and with love and attention she'll be a cutie!

Hugs,

i don't know if they actually have their own website or not but i'm kind of skeptic about this one

I saw the site (thanks) and this is what is says:

Yorkshire Terrier- Lady is 4 Yrs Old, weighs 5.6 lbs. I purchased her a month ago, she had a very short puppy cut when I bought her. Her hair is growing out very nicely, her coat is soft and thick. She is not registered(Can be CKC registered), has been vet checked, current rabies,current booster and wormings.She is not fixed, has had puppies before.Very calm natured,housetrained,loves to be held and go outside. Call or email for more info about her. She is $875 shipping included, if you pick her up she is $650.

I feel bad for the baby, but it does seem like a lot of money for a 4 y/o THAT she just got a month ago? I want to know why she's getting rid of a 4 y/o that she just got?

IMO, if you want a yorkie that is as close to the breed standard (AKC) as possible, do not buy from one of these adds. Do your research and study pedigrees of potential breeders, that way you can get a honest to goodness yorkie. People take their chances buying of the internet. But, that is just me.

GeorgiesMomma · 05-16-2006, 05:57 AM

She looks like a Yorkie to me. Georgie has big ears too. I agree 100% with Annabelles_Mom buying a Yorkie from a site like this isn't what your friend should do if she wants to be guaranteed a purebred AKC registerable Yorkie. Me personally I think she is adorable and would be happy to give her a happy home (possibly negotiating a lower price), but I am not as concerned as she may be.

BTW buttercup is definitely a Yorkie and an adorable one too

StewiesMom · 05-16-2006, 06:15 AM

Now that I took a second look, I could see how he could be Yorkie, but I think he looks part Chi or Toy Fox Terrier due to the pointy nose.

chachi · 05-16-2006, 06:26 AM

Thats what I thought when I first saw him that he looks part chi. The facial markings dont look like a yorkie either.

curlyboysmomma · 05-16-2006, 07:09 AM

It kind of looks like a Yorkie/chihuahua?

Nikko's_human · 05-16-2006, 07:19 AM

My non-expert opinion is that she is all yorkie. I get Nikko shaved down for the summer and sometimes my groomer gets a little "clipper-happy" and Nikko looks just like this. Except his ears are floppy.

She is a cute girl and I feel sorry for her, but as others have mentioned, the concern is not so much whether she's a purebreed or not, but rather, why does the owner want to get rid of her so soon after just getting her? I would be wary of this ad.

Latuya · 05-16-2006, 07:26 AM

I think she looks like a yorkie. She's just shaved down. My Gus had,,,, well still has big ears. He's grown into them now but they are still a tad on the big side.

ARCHIE · 05-16-2006, 07:33 AM

Looks like a purebred to me. When shaved down my Buddy looks like that.
What seems to be missing is the long hair that should be left around the mouth, I think that would make a big difference. Seems like alot of money for the
age of the dog and I would certainly be afraid to purchase on the web.
However, I do not know what all the fuss is regarding where a dog is
registered, unless you want to breed. Mine is registered with the EKC and
he would be no different if he were registered with the AKC.
