| is this a purebred yorkie? my friend is looking into getting a yorkie and is interested in an adult. she found one from a local breeder here in houston, tx and says it doesn't look anything like my yorkie and needs other's opinions. |

| I don't know why, but that pic looks familiar. What's the website?

| Hard to tell... I think that perhaps if a Yorkie were cut this short - it might be! It really is a drastic haircut for a little Yorkie -- But, if mine had most of its hair cut off - it might look like that. Can't wait for other opinions...... Carol Jean |

| That is quite a high price for a 4 year old female that has been used for breeding in the past and you don't know the history of it at all. It would be a soft coat and I am suspicious as to why it was cut down this short. My first suspicion was that it originally might have come from some puppy mill as they get pretty dirty and matted and are just breeding machines. Of course, I don't know that for sure, you dont' know that for sure but I would wonder. CKC I assume is the Continental Kennel Club which will register anything including crossbreds. It is not a registery for only purebreds like the AKC is. |

| i thought yorkies have different ear sizes. now i'm starting to wonder about my buttercup because in my opinion, my yorkie has huge ears. or maybe he needs time to grow into it.. |

Usually you have hair on the ears and fringe of the ears. In grooming you only want to shave the top 3rd of the ear. The hair on the ear will hide some of the ear size. But if they have big ears you aren't going to hide that the ears are big even with the hair on them. | |

| That does not look like a Yorkie to me. Maybe a little Yorkie somewhere down the line.

| I think it could be a Yorkie...I have seen pics of purebred Yorkies that were shaved down, and that's just what they look like! |

| This was one of those changing google ads that you click on at the top. I'm thinking that the ad linked directly to her website, but I don't remember what it was. She looks timid in the picture and is probably going to do best in a one or two person quiet home. My thoughts are why did the breeder buy her and then decide she didn't want her. Maybe the vet check brought something up. I think she could be full Yorkie, and would probably be a lot prettier with her hair grown out. I definitely think a better price should be negotiated. |

| even if he's not the perfect image of a yorkie, he probably still just as lovable. but honestly he does look like a yorkie. |
