It sounds like you didn't pay full breed price...I can't imagine not loving a puppy just because he's not cute enough!!! I don't mean to be insensitive at all I just think you should probably put it into perspective about what the pup looks like! I recently saw a pup at a fair that was supposed to be a full bred yorkie with super tall skinny ears and a skinny nose- not the cutest yorkie in the world but he was sweet and his owner loved him! Mutts usually make the best pets anyway!

I'm sure your little one is as cute as can be. :) Hang in there...

pepe mint- Tilly has an underbite as well but I think it brings extra character to her. Here are some pics showing it off. LOL

Awww...Tilly's a cutie. She looks like she has something to say! :)

So far, maybe this isn't what I was looking for. :(

First off, he doesn't just have a puppy cut, his hair is flat out SHORT.

He's bigger than I thought he'd be. I need to weigh him soon. He just seems bigger than what she said (which was 6 lbs).

He has very long legs for a Yorkie. It makes him look a bit gangly, and I don't find that to be flattering.

I keep saying I have to wonder if he's a mix, but my significant other is convinced he's purebred. If he's purebred, he's one hell of a tall Yorkie, and he's going to be somewhat big I'd bet.


His personality is a little different than I wanted, too. He spends most of his time running away from us and never staying still. Maybe our Yorkie we have had for a while is a rarity, but he isn't a complete ball of energy like that, and even when he is he doesn't try to completely avoid us.

She said he was "on the road" to being housebroken, but crapped in the house twice even though we took him out. That's frustrating.

Our cats already dislike him because of his energy and general nature, and I really hate to see that. I feel that all members of this household, animal and human, need to get along perfectly. It's always been great with us 2, the cats and our furbaby...everybody has gotten along really well. Yeah, it's only one day, but I can foresee problems on the horizon between the cats and this one, and if it comes to choosing I'd have to keep the kitties because they were here first.

I suppose I just have to be honest about the situation, and I am just a little letdown. I tried fooling myself for a while into thinking I liked how he looked and his personality was great for this house, but reality sinks in fast for me. :(

This is only my second post (I tend to lurk a lot :p ), and so I hate to be rude, but I fell horrible for that little guy. As others have said, dogs pick up on emotions very easily. He knows you don't like him. It makes me very sad to think about him being moved from home to home. Then he comes to you, and you don't like him. Mostly because of the way he looks. You seem to be using your cats as a scapegoat for the real issue, i.e. your superficiality. I just hope for the dog's sake that the next home he finds is a forever home who will love him even if his hair never grows and he grows up to be a 20 pounder. Sorry to be a jerk, but my heart breaks for that little guy and all he's been put through.

Edit: I guess I should go sit by jp4m2. :P

When she showed me the dog in her back seat, I thought, OMG, that dog was the size and structure of some of my hubby's largest beagles. I didn't have the heart to tell the breeder I didn't want her, plus she looked like she could really use the money. I brought her home and it was disaster. Clearly, she had been a kennel dog. She was young and sweet, loved to run and play. Only problem, my little dogs were getting hurt with her playing so rough and they couldn't get out of her way. I kept her two weeks then re-homed her for the good of everyone. I will never buy a dog again because I feel sorry for someone.
