| WHAT HAPPNED TO MY YORKIE? Please Help! Okay so I need your help asap! I am buying a full bred CKC Yorkie from a breeder in riverside,ca named Irma. I was going to buy a yorkie-poo (please dont say mutts are scumm and that they are from puppy mills bla bla bla as far as Im concerned passing judgment on a dog is simply still racism. And i realy dont feel like hearing harsh views on puppys i think are cute seriously she has the most excuisit yorkiepoos and they look like teddy bears full grown) anways she happned to be out of those so I put a deposit on the next litter. Well she called not too long ago saying the owner of a pure bred 5 week old yorkies husband died so had to take back her depoisit leaving her with this puppy. So anways she offered her to me for $500 with papers wich is a pretty good deal for a registered female. And i want to breed atleast a litter so I accepted. ANWAYS.. when i was up there to give her the deposit for the yorkiepoo she actualy showed me the dog! and i thought she was cute. Anways when she contacted me she sent me another pic same dog you can tell cuz she has a little white marking. ANWAYS She's like drop dead adorable....thennnnn she sent me a picture of what she looks like now shes about 6 or 7 weeks and OMG.....she looks sorta freaky and thin and not what it looked like in the pic when it was smaller. So idk she looks like some kinda chihuahua mix but i know shes not but still haha! what happned. is it normal for yorkies to look like that? please let me know as SOOOON as possible because Ive been waiting for my own puppy my whole life and 500 bucks isnt cheap i just wanna make sure im geting a good pup. i attached the pix first is when i saw her at two weeks. next is when i claimed her at 5 weeks(SHES SO FRIKKEN CUTE) then the third is the freakky pic of her now http://i38.tinypic.com/14dlkiw.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/2zsohhy.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/2uienm1.jpg |

| Ok, a lot of things bothered me here. if you really want some help, I would really suggest do a lot more research before you get a pup. You say you want to breed, but this is going to be your first pup in your entire life? Please don't breed this pup. These people are byb that are CKC registered that obviously don't know or care about the health or lines of this dog, and the fact is that breeding is a very huge responsibility, not to mention expensive. So if you think $500 is a lot of money for a purebred yorkie, you have no idea how much breeding is going to cost. Please please do more reading on here before you decide to get a pup which is a lifelong commitment. But to your OP, have you even gone to the person's home to look at the pups or are they just sending you grainy cell phone snapshots?

| I've reasearched for several years now actually. And this isnt my first dog we've had 3 before but they were killed by the home owners association from where I am currently living and I despise them for it. BUT this is my first dog that is SOELY mine and not a family dog. Our previous dogs had a accidental litter and I enjoyed that experience so much that I would wish to do it once more. Since I would allready have pre-determend homes for the dogs if I had them but thats just thinking ahead and besides the point. Anways to clarify my original and sole inquiery is to seek an answer to the question. Is it normal, for a CKC yorkshire terrier to look THAT MUCH DIFFERENT from there 4/5 week old shot to there 6/7 week old shot. And yes I have been there. All seemed well she took me to where she keeps the pups and gave me an entire tour of the premises while i was there I did see these puppies. The mother looked fine and the dad was OUTSTANDING the mom however was a lil on the blonde side but other than that she looked like a standard yorkie I saw the litter of 9 and I did see the puppy im thinking of getting she was healthy and on the big side not a runt and the first pic is a picture that I took while I was there to show my brother how small they were. Anways if anyone or you can answer that that would be great thanks for your time =) |

No, by all means $500.00 isn't a drop in the bucket expecially now days. But $500.00 dollars for a CKC is still too much money. I'm not sure how much research you've done on Yorkies.....but, not the going rate for a well-bred, healthy, good speciman of the breed. Yorkie-poo no matter how you toss the dice is a mixed breed dog......As far as I'm concerned people that are selling them for high prices (since they aren't purebreds) are breeding just for $$$$. As asked above, have you met this breeder in person and seen the pups. So, you're looking to breed....Any reputable breeder would not sell you a pup for breeding purposes without knowing you.

| I'm not sure what it is that asking but the pup looks adorable. If you don't feel right about this, then maybe you should not get this pup and take your time with your decision. Make sure the breeder you will be dealing with is legitimate and that you feel comfortable with them.

Doesn't CKC stand for something totally different in Canada than what it can mean in the US?

| Mardelin, No actually $500 I thought was a good deal considering I got it dicounted she normally doesnt sell them for that price but I've been on the waitlist for a while. She usually has her pups gone in like a week she's very popular out her. Why did you say its too much? Oh yess I agree on the yorkipoo matter. To be quite honest though I dont realy want to look down on a dog just because he's a mutt ya know? And I do like her mixes personal preference and a opinion which we are all entitled too. Though yes her yorkie poos are not even expensive at all she just realy charges for the food and shots for those dogs its extremely cheap she knows that they are mutts even though she breeds them from both ckc or akc parents. thats why she breeds small litters of those on request. And yes I have met the breeder as I said in my reply to the first post. and I did see this puppy (first pic I took) at about 2 weeks old? i wasnt intending on buying her then though she just showed them too us and I snapped a shot to show my family back home. I havent seen her since though. |

to answer your OP then, do you think a pup, any pup, can look that different in one week? If you don't feel right about it, then walk away. That is what I am suggesting to you anyway.

| Mom to Hot Rod, I was just asking if its normal for her to look so much different and I beleive the ckc is not Canadian Kennel Club. But Continental Kennal Club....... its on there website ckc or whatever. and Yes I thinks she's adorable too her dad is stunning and has some champs in the line i beleive so I'm confident in the dog. And I feel its a good opportunity because I'm getting her for a steal because I've been waiting for a puppy for soooooooooo lonnnggggg on her list. and just for info the curent price for a reg yorkie out here where i live is around $700-1,200k and yes cat_noonie I do hate when they call them designer breeds as well. this breeder does seem to do them in a responisble way and like I said she practically gives the yorkiepoos away for free she just charges for there living expenses essentually anways any one know if its normal for Sophia to look so much different? |

anways I dont know what its is about that, that seems to bother you but thats an...ACCIDENTAL...?...Litter? haha so we didnt even know the mom was preggers till she had the puppys. And it was a great expierence that brought alot of joy to our family. We found good homes for all of them and yes the mom of the yorkie is in good shape and she had 9 i know thats shocking for a yorkie but the moms with in standard shes about 6 or 7 pounds and the dads a lil smaller so the estimate her to be 5 or over since she wasnt the runt. and thanks for your opinion I think your right. I was just wondering what your and other peoples experiences were with your yorks. Did they look different then they did when they were a cuple weeks to when you got them? | |

| I think what you are seeing, is a growing puppy. A Yorkie puppy, and probably any puppy for that matter, is constantly changing. They are growing like weeds. The facial features change some, the coat changes color, it is all part of the process of growing to adulthood. I don't know about the health of the puppy, I am just speaking about the appearance, as that seems to be what you are questioning. Good for you that you are paying attention.
