White Yorkie????

[red98vett]

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 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?

I will definitely ask the vet tonight if it's possible. Hopefully he knows.

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 biewer has a recessive gene and are accepted by AKC as Yorkshire Terriers. (You just can't show them.) Germany and Canada recognize them as a separate breed, and Biewer owners are currently working with AKC to separate them out as a separate breed here in the USA. But a true Biewer is not a mix. I did a little research and spent some time on Biewer-Talk because of my Sammie. Both her parents are full-blooded yorkies, but she carries the recessive gene that biewers share. (After talking to the yorkie doctor associated with AKC, there are no color-related health issues with the true Biewer.) Maybe the white is a bit more recessive??? lol. But her face doesn't look 100% yorkie. She looks a little Maltese to me in the face???? I'm glad you're going to check with your vet. I'm interested in hearing what he has to say...

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.

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.)

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.

so there really is no such thing as a pure bred yorkie weather the mum and dad are known as full blood yorkies.and saying that i guess none of us really know that are yorkies are full blood as all we do is trust the breeder and pedigree but whos to say they told us the truth or that a stray mutt with a glint in his eye didnt take a fancy to the lady yorkie and took her on a date so to say
yorkies i said to be bred from the maltease and thats where the yorkies coat comes from so could be from way back or like others have said shes crossed them herself.
i think its cute though

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.
