I agree! He totally looks like a Yorkie to me

Gingergirlsmom · 10-04-2006, 04:45 PM

Yup, all yorkie! What a cutie!

You misread what I was saying. I am in Canada, been Canadian always, my experience therefore is with people in Canada that are selling unregistered puppies or dogs is that they seldom are purebred. I have no doubt the same is true in other countries but I haven't talked to people who went to see unregistered puppies as I have here -- or groomed them as I have in my pet grooming business.
What I am saying is that if you are buying purebred, the puppy should be registered with a bona fide registry such as AKC or Canadian Kennel Club if it is in Canada.
Here in Canada, although ads abound of purebred but no papers, it is illegal to do that under the Animal Pedigree Act under Agriculture Canada a Federal Government body.
I don't care if anyone chooses to buy unregistered or buys a mix breed, I just hope they aren't being lied to aobut the truthfulness of the parentage and that the price is reasonable taking into consideration it is not registered or is a mix in the case of mixed breeds. Most of the time, a pup sold as a mix of say Yorkiepoo, is usually not just YOrkie and poodle as previous generations had other breeds in them. Sometimes someone breeding these don't know either as whoever sold them their dogs that they bred, didn't tell them there is more breeds in the parents than they admit.
As long as you are paying for what you are getting I don't care one way or another. Just don't be misled. You cannot look at the parents or a puppy and say yes that is a purebred. I have seen mixes that look exactly like one of the breeds that have comprises it parentage. For example, I groomed a Yorkie/Maltese cross that I would have been hard pressed to think it wasn't a purebred Yorkie. Which is fine until you breed it, you don't know what you are going to get and as long as it was sold as a mix, it is an honest transaction.

I guess I didn't realize how much Yorkies & Silkys look alike. They definitely look related with some common parentage. I think your pup is very cute and if she was sold to you as a Yorkie, I would just take their word for it. Surely if it was a silky, they would have just said so.

I wouldn't advise breeding it, but just loving it as the cutie pie it is. It is not just your particular pup, I am talking about. I think almost all of our pets should be spayed/neutered.

No I didn't think you were grouchy, I wasn't sure if you realized i am in Canda so only commented about what I know to be here. But you are absolutely right in your comments that it is not only in Canada, it is the same thing regardless of where you are, an unregistered dog may or may not be purebred.

JESSY_RN2B · 10-05-2006, 05:22 AM

Yes, he looks just like a purebred yorkie........he's adorable!

Timmy · 10-05-2006, 05:35 AM

He looks all Yorkie to me too. I have 2 babies and they are totally different. People think that my girl isn't purebred because she's got floppy ears. Oh well...floppy ears or not they are my babies and I love them.

My girl is very long too...I tell everyone she's got super model legs...lol

lisatodd · 10-05-2006, 05:36 AM

DENISE517 · 10-05-2006, 06:18 AM

His body is a bit long-according to my hubby.Not that I mind if he is not a purebred because I have fallen in love with him but I would just love to know out of curiosity.
