Is My Puppy a Fraud? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

cgmac12 · 10-23-2007, 07:04 AM

No- I did not pay much for her at all. That should have been my first clue. However- I was told that since she was the last one, they were just trying to find her a home. I am new to the Yorkie world, we have a Sheltie. I can only blame myself for being so naive.

I agree, I can see Chihuahua! She is really cute though!

mistyinca · 10-23-2007, 07:08 AM

Sassy sure is a cutie!!!

But she looks like a mix for sure. She looks like she's mixed with Chihuahua or Rat Terrier...

KathyinCali · 10-23-2007, 07:18 AM

She is such a doll! I hope you will continue to post with Sassy here on YT. I would love to see more pictures of her cuteness

Welcome!

Okay I hope no body attacks me on this one lol if you look at her bone structure the way her ears ar it looks all yorkie to me its funny that I came across this thread right after coco's bath because when she is wet she has the same look at the picture I have seen a couple threads on here about redlegs so your pup might very well be that but there are some ppl on here that say they don't exist either or I'm thinking its something in the genes that has made your puppy not have super long hair. Because chi have a very diff bone struture but I'm going to say redleg!!! Maybe in a few months her hair will start to grow

Wrenee4 · 10-23-2007, 07:20 AM

She "could" be full blooded. If you take a not so nice pair and breed them..then take that pup to a not so nice mate and so on and so forth you can get this look. She doesn't look full blooded to me, but she could be. You could always DNA her to see for sure.

littlewhip · 10-23-2007, 07:26 AM

i beleive she is mixed, but she is very cute

Its just not right how people can be so dishonest

I hope you keep her and wish you the best

MikaTallulah · 10-23-2007, 07:26 AM

I would think that at 16 weeks she would still have the typical yorkie puppy coloration of black and tan. It is possible that somewhere in her line their was an oops breeding that the breeder does not know about. Also the male you show could be the father of the other puppies but not this own because of an oops breeding with a neighborhood dog. It could have.

alex_143 · 10-23-2007, 07:28 AM

Also if you look at the body structure its very diff than a chi it looks yorkie to me I don't want to sound mean but I think that the breeder didn't do a lot of history on her dogs before breeding and what her lines are like I think it is a poorly bread pup or a redleg with that gene that makes them look like that

grayxie · 10-23-2007, 07:29 AM

She's so cute! If she is yorkie its a small %, looks more like a terrier mix to me.

hha · 10-23-2007, 07:34 AM

Crystal, I'm afraid you got burnt hon..She most likely has some yorkie in her, but, like someone else said there are a lot of breeders that lie to make a buck..and a dog can get pregnant by more than one male dog..I bought a pom one time, when I went to show it to my friend that has always had poms, she said(her words exactly), what the hell is that?? I could have cried, so I have been taken before too..it's really sad that people do this..they figure you pay for them, and fall in love with the dog and won't do anything..If you paid a lot for this puppy, then you need to get some of your money back, if they won't give you some back, you could do a dna testing, and then if it shows it's not 100% yorkie, I would take them to small claims court..

YorkieRose · 10-23-2007, 07:46 AM

We have had a number of threads lately about the questionability of recently purchased "Yorkie" pups...if any of these pups I have seen come with AKC papers, then all need to report the breeders to AKC for DNA testing...these are not purebred dogs and the parents should be S/N..if they are non-papered, Apri, CKC, ACA, then there is no recourse...enjoy then as pets...

ARCHIE · 10-23-2007, 07:48 AM

Well whatever she is she's a cutie.
If she is healthy your ahead of the game. Don't feel bad
because your not the only one on this board who has not been
fully educated in the world of Yorkies. I'm right there with you.
I educated myself very well, I thought before buying Bud.
No where in the books did it mention BYB, Pet stores or Teapots, the
larger Yorkie.
I knew what to look for in a pup but the above. Thank heavens
I did get a full blooded Yorkie just more of him. I deliberately picked
him out because he was bigger. Who knew he would get to be 15lbs.\
He's a love and healthy, healthy, healthy so I feel blessed.
Enjoy her. It was just ment to be.

Kiwiglaze · 10-23-2007, 07:50 AM

Well, I am not an expert, but I can tell you that Kiwi had a half sister who looked a lot like your little baby. When I went to pick Kiwi (who is a purebred), I saw one that looked almost exactly like yours. The breeder said she was Kiwi's half sister and didn't have the yorkie "look" although she was purebred. She said every once in awhile a yorkie comes along that doesn't get the correct coloring and hair texture. So I think yours could be a purebred, but just not have the correct coloring. She sure is cute, though!

cgmac12 · 10-23-2007, 07:51 AM

I am just sick over this. I know it is my fault for walking out of that door if I had any suspicions. But of course- you see a puppy, any puppy- and your kids are saying- "Please Mom!". 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.
