Well......that little white dog was cute but looked like no yorkie to me -

I LOVE the yorkie colors...why would anyone want to change their looks ? it's one thing if a yorkie is born chocolate or Red....but that white one didn't have that yorkie 'look' IMO:)

whever her exclusive "line' is - she probably should call it for what it is - A Designer Dog - that phrase would get her the big bucks :confused: :confused: and at least would be more honest.

I don't understand how someone can legally have that many dogs seriously isn't their restrictions on how many you can have?

JMO, but the white one did not have a yorkie look to me. It always surprises me when people breed small females. I have been seeing photos of "party" yorkies lately and some of then seem to have white in them. Does anyone here have one?

Yes there are those that refuse to believe that parti colored yorkies are pure yorkies.

I have no idea about that white one. I doubt that it is AKC registered. they had a terrible time getting the AKC to register the parti colored ones. they did extensive DNA testing before they allowed it.

It would be interesting to hear the history behind this one. but since she screens her emails. I guess we will never know.

NO, NO.

I saw a Yorkie/Maltese mix this summer and he looked exactly like a Yorkie except he was pure white - his ears were up and everything. He was the cutest little dog!!!!

At first glance the dog in the pix looks like a Yorkie/Pom mix.

The Canadian Kennel Club in Canada does not in any way shape or form recognize a tri coloured Yorkie no matter what you want to call it.
Biewers are recognized by the Biewer Club in Germany not the German kennel Club.

Did you see she also has bulldogs, chiauhuas (sp?) and s**tzus? That definately does not look like a full blooded yorkie. And I think some of those puppys eyes just dont look right. jmo.

I do not know..
But, that was one beautiful Dog
I bet that dog will cost a bundle

Sorry. I guess I can't believe everything I read. Guess I shoud have dug further. But that's what this site is for! Thanks for the info. (Hope I didn't make you mad.) :D

This is her reply to my email. The only surprise for me was that she wasn't charging more!!!!!

Hi
These are designer pups that I have created myself over the years and they do
not come with papers as I do not want anyone to copy my bred. They are males
$1800 and females $1900 and $250 to ship. These are very beautiful dogs and will
weigh between 31/2 to 41/2 lbs some will be smaller. I have a waiting list so
please if you are interested get on the list.
Thanks for your interest
Gail

Then you all have your answer, these are not purebred. A designer breed is a mix. You couldn't register these with a bona fide registry if you wanted to that's why they aren't registered. Prices are pretty high for a mutt and some very undersized at that. JMHO

Is it possibly albino?? I couldn't tell in the picture if it had red eyes & I think albino's have red/pinkish eyes. Also, don't know if albino's stay albino when bred.....don't really know, just a thought.

You care correct! Did you all know that ALL dogs evolved from the wolf? So if you really want to be specific, the wolf is the only pure bred dog. I'm sure I'll catch crap for saying this, but it's the truth (as per several of my evolutionary biology professors). After many years of a certain breed of dog being around and it being bred is when it is finally recognized as pure bred. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, just telling you what I've learned.

Albino is a recessive trait I believe, so you would have to breed two dogs with the albino recessive trait to even have a chance at getting an albino. That dog isn't albino though - it's got black/brown eyes. It's a mix.

Don't *slap* me, but...I don't care for it. JMO

You're right Lorraine. I knew when she said that there were no papers, why that was: THESE ARE NOT YORKIES by any "recognized" definition! I thought she might charge more though because of their "Rare" (LOL) status.

Yep LOL and she does charge more for their 'rare' status. Sigh..................

LOL I wont slap ya. I do think it is cute though to each their own I quess

ooh you got me thinking now as to where i read it or heard it, i might be in my yorkie books i will go have a look, or i may of seen it on the internet.:)
i know no one really knows what breeds make up the yorkie as no one has records of them and the miners who came up with the breed never spilled the beans.:)

Absolutely WRONG. Go back to reading how purebreds came about, why they are purebreds now, the registries involved etc. Yes purebreds, in many cases were resulting from certain mixes of what was available at the time but were not bred to try to get as much money as possible for the sale of 'designer breed' puppies. These purebreds were created by fanciers that got together and decided what they wanted in both appearance and how they were going to be used. The Yorkie in simple terms needed to be small as common people were not allowed dogs over a certain size, yet also needed to be ratters.
However various breeds were created which took usually about 50 years to get what they wanted, they are now registered purebred and breed true (look that up if you don't know what breeding true is) becasue when you take a purebred registered Yorkie and breed it to a purebred registered yorkie, you get puppies that look like Yorkies. There can be some variations within any purebred such as size etc but what you have should look like the breed that the parents are.
You take a Yorkie/maltese and breed it to a Yorkie/maltese, you are not going to get puppies that look like either parent and either parent may not at all look like each other. That is not the case in GOOD QUALITY ( Note I am saying GOOD QUALITY) representatives of a purebred breed.
Some purebred breeds have been around for many thousands of years. Find a good book about purebreds, I would bet AKC likely puts one out, that tells you about the different purebreeds, how long they have been around and how we got to where we are today in purebreds.

I don't no i sat and studied the picture of the white one and the picture of prince charming just about her and she looks more yorkie to me than anything else. I don't particularly care for her but i think she looks very much like a yorkie. That is just my opnion.

HOLY COW IS SHE SERIOUS ??? :eek: :eek: :eek:
TWO THOUSAND BUCKS ???
she doesn't want people to copy her ???

GOOD !!! I hope they don't too lol :D :D :D

the term BREED FOR GREED just popped into my head - I can't for the life of me imagine why :confused: :confused: :confused:

Who cares if it's not purebred! It's this ladiesownbred! I guess that's now better...so good they can't even include papers!

I love her reasoning for no papers..so they don't get copied! Um, I think it's because these dogs are unregisterable :rolleyes:

No V, I really think this lady is into "creating her own breed" LOL

Agreed :thumbup:

Thank you, dahling! lol Yep, and what makes the world go 'round?

LOL!! Good one!

i dont know if some one has said this i didnt read through all the posts but if you go to

and scroll down you will see the white yorkie puppy

The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America is pretty resolute that there have never been any white genes in the Yorkie. Read what is says about the Parti-colors: "All of these original breeds were grizzle, tan, blue, blue and tan, or black and tan. No white dog or dogs with white markings were involved in the process of developing the breed. " There is more: http://www.ytca.org/faq.html#C (To the Parti-color folks -- do not shoot the messenger!

As to the "no one really knows" -- I think they have come up with a fair history for the breed. I think it was the weavers that brought the Scotch terriers as they came to find work in the mills of Yorkshire, England. Try The Complete Yorkshire Terrier by Joan Gordon and Janet Bennett or Yorkshire Terriers by Janet Jackson (Pres. YTCA).
