Forgot to attach a pic of my yorkie/chi mix

What a sweetie! That is quite a bit of hair compared to Sassy. Was your baby as short as Sassy when he was little? So far I have not noticed Sassy shedding. And even though you cannot tell in the picture- her hair is not short like a Chi. It lays smooth, but the hair she has is pretty long- anywhere from one to two inches except on her head, and the top of her head is pretty short and smooth.

The people that I bought her from were very, very nice. There were 5 puppies total in the litter. She actually had a pictue of the litter and Sassy was the only one that did not look like a typical yorkie. The mom and dad were the only two dogs at the house. Sassy was the only puppy left when we got there.

I guess it is my fault for believing them. I saw the picture she was saying was the dad as a puppy, and I wanted to believe it. I even called back a few days later and told her that people just were not believing she was a yorkie and she was so emphatic that she really was a Yorkie.

Like I said- it is no matter- my kiddos love her now- but truthfully- I really longed for a true Yorkie. Does anyone think she has any Yorkie in her at all?

I guess it is true that Papers really don't mean anything!

I am glad that you all love her just the way she is, she deserves nothing less. I do think that she probably does have yorkie in her, but a definite mix! She is very cute and I also love her little ears.:)

with schatzie we got her at about 9 or 10 months from the shelter and her hair was shorter, but didn't look like it had been cut. At about a year old or so, the hair on her head got more length. The hair on her back and sides is long, but lays flat

Did you call the breeder back yet and voice your concerns?

LunasMomma 10-24-2007 08:23 AM
She's so cute! She does look like a mix to me. I can't shake the impression, from the pics, that she is also much older than the breeder told you. Have you been to the vet with her yet? They can check her teeth and determine approximately how old she is by that. She just doesn't look like a 16 week old puppy to me, I don't know why, just a feeling:confused:

Regardless, I'm sure that she will bring you many years of love and joy:love:

Your Sassy looks to me like Yorkie Russel mix.

Cathi 10-24-2007 10:18 AM
I am glad that you
 
posted this. It has taught me a lot on what I need to look for in a yorkie. Since I am new a buying one I will know what to look for and what to ask for purchasing. Best wishes, Cathi

I e-mailed a picture of this dog(which I told the one that started the post), the vet said it was a cute dog, definitely has yorkie in it, but, definitely NOT a purebred yorkie...

Honestly- Sassy is a sweet puppy and none of this is her fault. It is just that if I had wanted a mix breed puppy I could probably have gotten one for free. For those asking- I only paid $200 for her. I realize that is a steal- but honestly-I could have gotten a Non-yorkie for free- so really 200 is steep for what I got.

A friend got a male yorkie the same week I got Sassy- and he is this adorable ball of fur. We had discussed breeding our two Yorkies, but of course- since she is the only one that has a Yorkie, that is out of the question.

I am at a loss on what to do. I tried calling the breeder back a few days after we got Sassy- she just kept assuring me that the hair will come. She gave me some story about one of the puppies in the dads litter was exactly the same way and so was the dad.

Truthfully- it is not even completely about the money- it is about that my family wanted a Yorkie. Now we are not even sure what we ended up with.

Honestly ... besides her hair and size and colors, she looks like a yorkie, so I definately think she has yorkie in her. She has no black really so that a huge clue, and shes BIG for 17 weeks.... but she does have that yorkie snout, eyes, ears, back & tail! Shes actually VERY cute! When I look at her I think she looks like my fletch but with no black, less fur and just bigger than he was at 17 weeks!

tammy8833 10-24-2007 11:34 AM
i have to agree that she isnt 100% yorkie but i have been wrong before..lol

one person said something about s**tzu due to the body structure or something..im sorry there is no shih tzu there..they dont look anything like this dog

this dog looks like some kind of rough coated terrier, rat or fox maybe. maybe something was crossed back down the line and the breeder doesnt know this or understand this and it just poped out on this litter. but if i bred a litter and 4 looked like yorkies and 1 didnt i think i would question my dogs or the neighbors..lol

good luck..i love looking at updated pics and if you do get her dna tested i would love to hear the results

I take it back... looking at her pic more closely... she looks like a yorkie to me! I mean I see one of my boys in her so much! I think whoever said that she has a gene defect is more accurate than whoever says shes mixed... but I don't know much about dog breeds... however I did figure out my mom got a yorkie poo before her vet could even figure it out! :)

here is my fletch... yes he has more hair... but look at the ears, feet, snout, eyes... your girl looks a LOT like him I think! I hope her hair grows quickly! If it means anything I think you got a full bred, just not quite as 'pretty' as you would have hoped for :)

$200 really is a steal for a dog-- ANY dog, mixed or not, especially since at the age that she is at she should be well into her series of puppy vaccines and deworming. A friend of mine recently homed a litter of shepherd mix pups at $300 each, and didn't make a single cent after the amount of veterinary care and supplies involved in rearing a pup. The $200 price really should have been a flag that the dog you were considering wasn't an average yorkie, since the breeder was essentially letting her go at cost (assuming, at least, that she has been properly vaccinated and cared for up till the point that she went home-- and if she hadn't been, then there's a LOT more wrong with her breeder than just unimpressive bloodlines and possible mixes!)

She's a cute dog, whatever she is. My pup is in obedience school with a dog that looks a whole lot like her, and he is a Yorkie / Schnauzer mix.

Wow, now I don't feel so bad after spending $300 on my purebred shepherd..:)

Thats what im saying i really think its a pure breed but a very poorly breed one at that thats why it doesnt look like all the other yorkies im really thinking she has a gene defect but thats my opinion :D
