Whatever she is, she has a beautiful eyes, kind eyes.
She may not looks like yorkie but when she grow up, she may become more like yorkie!!
I'm sorry that your breeder wasn't honest.

Edited to add- she is 16 weeks old and weighs just under 5 pounds. Her mom weighed 10 pounds and Dad weighed 6 pounds.

She definetely is NOT a Yorkshire Terrier. Sorry about that.

Honestly- it just would not have occured to me that someone would lie. Especially since her appearance would cause question to begin with. I am very disappointed in this woman. And yes- I am very upset that we are not going to get our long haired bow wearing puppy- I do love this dog- she is very sweet (even if she is being impossible to housebreak).

I keep holding out hope that she is just going to sprout hair like the breeder told me! For now I guess I will consider her a Chorkie! Hopefully- you guys will still let me hang around here and admire all of your pretty babies!

Don't beat yourself up, there are SO many unscrupulous breeders out there. Many, many people get taken by them. I am one myself, thought I had a purebred Maltese and 5 years later I found out differently. My breeder has since moved and AKC cannot find her, so I have no recourse. I know how frustrating this is, but you should not let her keep getting away with this if at all possible. This irritates me to no end, that people get hurt so often by these dishonest breeders trying to make a buck...UGH!!

I feel for you, just try to enjoy her if you are not going to return her.

If she's giving you trouble with housebreaking, that's a good indication she's a yorkie!

I hope you stay with us. I'd love to see how she grows up.

Her hair may get longer. It might just grow real slow. I've attached pictures of my yorkie at 17 weeks and then a current picture of him today at about a year and a half. I've been told he is a red legged yorkie. I see a resemblence to your little Sasse. Dylan looked so pitiful as a puppy but turned out to be pretty cute. He also has the sweetest disposition of any dog I've ever had.

alex_143 · 10-23-2007, 11:41 AM

like i said before she looks 100% redleg yorkie to me its just a gene thing that doesnt make her a mix lets not jump to the conclusion that the breeder lied especially if you saw the dad and mom, and she seems willing to work with you

This proves she must be a yorkie!!! LOL

cgmac12 · 10-23-2007, 11:44 AM

Ok- so here is a question for the people who are in the "she's a red leg" camp- when will her hair grow?

Is she too big to be considered a yorkie? I know that standard is 6 pounds and under- if she is already 5 pounds at 16 weeks- she is going to be huge!! At what age do they generally get their full height and weight?

myyorkies8 · 10-23-2007, 11:50 AM

she is cute...but not full blooded yorkie. if your daughter loves her thats all that matters...but you can have the breeder prove with dna testing....she didn't know what she was talking about or she was pulling a scam

she is not too big to be considered a yorkie the standard is 7pounds and under but there are alot of teapot yorkies we have some members on here who own purebreed yorkies that are up to 20pounds!!! Remember yorkies are like humans they come in all shapes and sizes!!! i beleve they get there full height and weight at about 6months (if im wrong please correct me!!!) but by 1 year they wont grow anymore they will most likely be the height and weight they are and stay that way!!! by the way i think you baby is beautiful she looks so much like my coco!!! lol same face i once took coco to the groomers and they shaved her down i was so mad!!! but she was soo cute lol and people that saw her told me she was a chi and it hurt me i got so offened i guess cause im a over protective mom but she looked just like your baby i will find the pic of her and post for you

oh yea and welcome to yorkietalk your going to love it here!!!!!!!

I wish I could answer your question about when will her hair grow, the picture one of the pp's provided of their pup shows that it can end up looking just like you would expect.

Yorkie standard is under 7lbs, there is also no way to know what she will do as far as growth goes. Even if she doesn't meet up to the standard as far as weight and coat goes that doesn't make her any less a yorkie then the next one.

Why not look into getting another pup that fits what you were expecting as far as the Yorkie standards go, then you will be happy.. you will still have your pup that everyone has already fallen in love with and she will have a great companion/fur sister.
