Ninijohanna · 09-09-2011, 10:59 AM

hi to all, i would like please someone give me an opinion to this that is happening to me! yesterday i adopted my second "yorkie" he is 11 months 3 pounds but he is not what i was looking for
cause in the classified picture he was completely different! his ex-owner said that the dog has been poisoned by poison ivy and because of that the dog is shaved and with a skin rash.
another thing is that i am not sure if he is a pure breed he is supposed to be a yorkie but some things put me in doubt!! his ears are down and his tail is not docked his ex owner said
that the dog was born in Germany and there is not legal to cut the tail (i was living in Italy and there is not legal too and i know that in some countries of europe is the same thing)
but i still concerned about certain things and i dont know if he is a mix or pure!!!and the worst thing is that i dont have his shot records i dont have anything about him his ex owner
said that today is gonna send me the papers (i hop) at least im gonna see his birthday!... what do you think? anyone with a similar story? please give me some advices some opinions

im gonna load a picture of him so u can see!!

He looks yorkie to me. Plenty yorkies ears are down, it can be fixed when there puppies by taping them up. I think she gave you a good enough reason why the tail was not docked. He just looks like he needs a good case of TLC and to gain some weight. (he looks kind of thin in that pic)

My yorkie's ears are down. If it were me (although unfortunate) I would just give him lots and lots of love and help him with the transition of a new owner and family. Lots of luck!

I see a Yorkie who just needs his coat to grow in and gain some weight and he will be a beautiful boy!

Ears up or down, tails docked or not...it's the soulful look of this boy that is all that matters!

PS. Also, be sure to take him in to your Vet asap and have any skin condition checked & have him neutered if he is not already.

He looks like a yorkie to me. I think he is adorable!

Perrella · 09-09-2011, 11:45 AM

Oh, I think this "yorkie" is just darling. Look at his face...precious. I believe you will see a total transformation into a beautiful boy with good food, love and care.

Can't wait to watch the little fella grow, be sure to posted pictures.

JMuedog · 09-09-2011, 12:55 PM

He looks scared and a tad skinny in that picture but looks full Yorkie to me

southernbelle04 · 09-09-2011, 01:06 PM

He is very cute!

angieNchloe · 09-09-2011, 01:29 PM

he's cute, when his hair growns in and some weight is gained he'll be adorable. I hear not all Yorkie's ears stand up. It's not too late to have his taped if you are really wanting that. I had Chloe's one ear taped. I viewed on utube how to do it...it's simple...just some cardboard and medical tape to prevent them from pulling...shave those little ears...tape them...and they will stand up.

I suggest not even trying this for a while until you have that trust bond built, not that it hurts them, but as fragile as the dog is right now...it could be a bit much for him.

Ninijohanna · 09-09-2011, 01:37 PM

thanks to all u guys . me and my family will give him a lot of love and the care he deserves i will work on his weigh. his ex owner said that the first 9 months of his life were so bad poor thing. anyway his first night with us was great!! he is very sweet thank u for the all replies . i'll let u know more about him in a few days or weeks

OwnedByJezebel · 09-09-2011, 02:37 PM

All Yorkie.

How does his skin look now? I don't see any problems in that picture. Unless there is something that I can't see, I'm guessing that he didn't have poison ivy at all ... and that they probably had to shave him because he was badly matted, they just didn't want to tell you that they hadn't been maintaining his coat properly.

Ninijohanna · 09-09-2011, 02:58 PM

well he has a little rash and some littles brown spots, his ex owner said that he been in a antibiotic treatment but i dont know if the poisoning was true or not!! anyway im gonna take care of his skin and maintain his coat properly

Valenie · 09-09-2011, 03:04 PM

He looks all Yorkie to me!!!! I think floppy ears are sooo cute! Also my Tibbers also has his tail!!! Makes me kinda sad for Bella who doesn't!

Foster Mom · 09-09-2011, 03:05 PM

he definately looks yorkie to me. My girls ears are down too. I wish my girls had a tail, I love yorkies with a tail.

He is adorable!!!!

TxVicki · 09-09-2011, 03:19 PM

Oh my goodness what a sweet precious baby. He certainly is a Yorkie. I have one that has a Full Tail.
