I need some help with Little Dog.

[Sevaede]

My mom and I have been trying to figure out if L.D. is REALLY a Yorkie or not. first, some pics:



Secondly, I will give a bit of history, as far as I know. One of my moms ferrets that I had been very close with passed away. After a while, I started talking about a dog and my parents (without my knowing) started extensively looking for a dog (how sweet! ) for me. My uncles best friends mother is a Yorkie breeder. My parents relayed messages back and forth via my uncle. She had a Yorkie that was really calm, and sweet, and she didn't handle the hyperness of the other Yorkies and pups very well. So, one day she came over (again, unbeknownst to myself). My parents called me out of my room and lo and behold was this scruffy little dog! Aw! Insta-LOVE! I promptly picked her up, said thank you, and retreated to my room for a minute to give her a piece of jerky (now, she is a jerky freak). I sat and talked with Robin (YB) for a while. She had gotten Little Dog from a puppy mill that had been using her since the very first time she was able to conceive until Robin had gotten her, and Robin had bred her a couple times. Little Dog had been bred from the time she was probably 6 months old until we got her and she was five and a half. Poor, wore out girl. This would have been the case anyways but she was spayed about two weeks later.

So, Little Dog was spoiled and everything by yours truly. We attached ourselves at the hip. She is definitely an Angelique-dog.

Oh, by the way, my dad was not hip to the idea of her being on the furniture but Little Dog was relentless in her pursuit and started sleeping with me (without getting in trouble) by day 3!

She's a cutie thats for sure.
I'm glad she's out of the breeding ring and into a loving home!

I would say she is a mix of something, her body structure is off from that of a yorkie and her colors are too.
They *may* come in solid tan colors but I've never seen or heard of such a thing, but it could be a fluke. But even so like I said her overall appearence does not say purebred yorkie to me.

In any event she sounds like a wonderful companion & best friend.

I agree with lv4dogs she looks like a mix yorkie breed. Hope this helps.

She's adorable. I'd say she's a mix. Look at that tounge! Cute!

she's definatly a cutie, but she may be a purebred. i had a yorkie a few years ago named Porkie. he looked A LOT like this lil dog. same floppy ears, size, etc. Porkie was 13lbs and had a waivier coat like this dog. i'm definatly glad she's outof breeding! she's definatly not up to the breed standard if she is purebred.

She looks purebred to me, just poorly bred. Most of the yorkies that come into work look like that, drop ears and all.

Oh, don't even talk about that tongue! She LOVES to lick and kiss. Especially if she is excited, she will run, and use your body as leverage (even though she can jump REALLY high already), make you hold her, and lick. Then, she will flop over on her back and ask for a belly rub all while waggling that little nub!

It does, indeed! What do you think she is mixed with?

We were thinking, perhaps, a Yorkie-Poodle mix? Any ideas? When I find it, I will post the very first pic we had of her. Her hair was SO much longer than in those pics (during the winter, before we had her groomed). She definitely doesn't look like a Yorkie when after she gets groomed. She looks really white. She kind of resembles the pooch in this pic but not a whole lot: http://www.stock-photography.co.za/i...hound_4458.jpg .

She is! It took her a very long time to warm up to everybody else in the household. Now, she does this thing that we call Showin' Teeth. She sits right next to you and just STARES until you look at her. Then, she curls her lips back and shows teeth and kind of shakes. She will wait for you to show teeth back or say something and she will jump up and bump you in the nose.
