Is my dog a Yorkie? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

tobyfan · 09-13-2006, 11:12 AM

This dog was either lost or abandoned..Ive had him for about 3 months now. He is approx 20 pds . Im still not sure what kind of dog he is. The vet thinks maybe Yorkie Schnauzer mix. What do you all think?

he definitely looks like he is part yorkie to me

Maybe even more than two breeds in the mix...Yorkie,Maltese, Schnauzer. Really sweet. Wish the photo showed the whole body....a little more detail.

Mixed breeds don't breed true so he could be any possible mixture. Maybe Yorkie maybe not.
But he is adorable and good for you for taking him in. Are you keeping him so he has a forever home?

Looks yorkie to me!

Awwwwwwww he's a cutie. He sure does have Yorkie in him. His face is all Yorkie! My Buddy is 13lbs and is longer and taller than standard but prue breed. Does he have a soft coat or course. Enjoy him.

Yes he does and Ive never had a sweeter dog in my life!! Ever! I love him so much..I have him listed as a lost dog but would simply fall to pieces should his owner come forward... He was covered in ticks and his nails were long and hair in terrible shape..It took some time to get him back to normal...I love him a lot!!! The only thing that bothers me is he gets very upset when we leave for work, etc. I feel bad for him...All he really wants to do is be with me. Is that typical Yorkie behavior?

He has yorkie in him...look at that precious face....

tobyfan · 09-13-2006, 11:18 AM

He has some course black hairs mixed in with the silver coating that are about the hardest hairs Ive ever felt!!!

lucindaw. · 09-13-2006, 11:18 AM

The coloring is Yorkie but the face is just like our cockapoo!

Tiggerwit · 09-13-2006, 11:18 AM

Oh man he is cute. I'd say he was a mix, but who cares.

He could be a silky too. He looks pretty big, but I can't really tell from the picture. He looks like real sweetie, I'm glad you found each other.
