New puppy pictures...she is TOO cute!
 

Hi, I am to to YT and actually haven't even gotten our puppy yet (we will get her one week from today), but I wanted to share pictures of her that the breeder sent me. Her name is Tinkerbell and she was born 11/9/2008! We have never had a Yorkie, but are very excited for the adventures ahead! I have enjoyed reading about all of your trials and triumphs and can't wait to have our own (sounds crazy but true). When we actually get her, we will post new updated pictures. Thanks for letting me share!

Welcome to YT and Congratulation on your very cute puppy.

which breeder did you got it from?

The first picture look very familiar..

Hello and welcome to YT.

The people are out of Missouri. I am not sure they are actually "big time breeders," but they have the momma and their friends have the daddy. She is dual registered AKC and APRI (I think, I don't have my notes in front of me).

Are these the three puppies in the litter? Maybe my eyes are deceiving me because I see three separate puppies (could be that I am still sleepy, though.) :) :rolleyes: Anyway, cute pictures and you will enjoy owning a Yorkie.

Well, I only asked this because the two of her, with the one being in the basket, she has a very obvious white chin and she doesn't in the others. Even the one where she is eating looks totally different then the white chinned pictures and the even the first two that you shared. :confused:

If you completely trust your breeder, then go with that...I was just curious about the pictures. Maybe she would be willing to send you a couple more that she could take for you this weekend.

And yes, puppies will change, but typically you will still recognize certain features or shape of their head or size of their ears (etc.).

I agree with you! In fact, I made a comment to her that I was surprised by the white chin and white eyebrows. I have never met her before. She lives in another state, but we have talked many times. I don't think she is actually a "breeder" so to speak. She has the mother and a friend has the father. She told me they had two puppies; a male and a female. The male was sold already and the female was this one. Supposedly, the eating picture was taken 1/5 and the others were from 1/9. Now that you say it, I have been examing the pictures and do notice that the paws even look a bit different. She told me she gave her a bath and trimmed her hair before she took the second set of pictures, so I don't know if that could account for the difference or not, but I am going to definitely ask for more pictures. I think she looks much larger in the second (basket pics) set of pictures than in the eating breakfast picture....what are your thoughts. I am SO concerned, because my children are SO excited to get her. We have been planning on her for two weeks now. We are supposed to pick her up next week! They will be CRUSHED if we can't get her! Oh gosh, I am sick! Thanks for your thoughts. If any others have thoughts or concerns, please feel free to comment!

Honestly, I thought the same about the size of her. She looks like a good sized puppy (the ones with the white chin), but the other photos looks to be a smaller Yorkie...except for the one eating....that looks like an average size Yorkie. :confused: Gosh, I wish I could be more help but I am just not sure what to say. Go back and look at the very first picture that you posted...the one that says 'adorable' in the right-hand corner....that does NOT look anything like any of the other pictures that you posted (ESPECIALLY the ones with the white chin).

I wasn't trying to upset you...I just noticed such differences in these pictures, but like I said, it could just be my eyes playing tricks on me. :rolleyes:

Tammy, it is not you that upset me....it is the thought that she is trying to scam me and my childrens' reaction if we don't get her. I emailed her and told her my concern and asked for more pictures and an explanation. Like I said, I made a comment to her about the puppy looking so different w/ the white streak on her chin and eyebrows when she sent it, but I guess I just assumed it changed enough after the haircut and that is why it looked so different! There have been other little things that (now after this conversation) make me uneasy. Originally, She said she was tiny and would only grow to an estimated 3.5 lbs. She said that she was 10 weeks when I talked to her a couple of weeks ago, but when I asked her her birthday she said 11-9, which would make her 10 weeks on 1/16 the day we are supposed to pick her up.

I thought I asked the right questions, asking to see pictures of the parents, asking about the dogs bites and parents bites, are they registered, their disposition, are you a large breeder blah, blah, blah! I sure hope there is an explanation for this!

I agree. those dogs are not the same. I was a victim of a scam. i sent all this money to a "breeder" and never recieved a dog at all. I was so hurt. So just be careful.

First of all hello and welcome to YT:) I could feel your excitement in your first post so I sincerely hope this isn't a scam.....keep us posted on what the breeder says, and whatever happens I hope that you soon will have a furbaby in your arms. Lots of love and luck to you xxx xx

One thing, she didn't have me give her a deposit. She said that she trusted me and if we wanted her she would hold her for us. We are going out of town Monday and Tuesday, so she said she would keep her for us until Friday so she wouldn't be left alone. I emailed her and asked her for new pictures, because I do notice in all of the pictures I have you can't REALLY see her chin all that well (except for the two really new ones). I do know she said before she took the last pictures, she gave her a bath and a haircut because her hair was getting a little long she said. "Maybe" the white hair was under there?!?! I hope so. When she sends new pictures, I will post them. Thank you for your thoughts, I really do appreciate it.

I do hope you get it straightened out and that it works out. Can I ask where in Missouri she lives? If she lives close to me (I also live in Missouri), I would happy to try to see what I can fnd out.
