Will you look at my puppy? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My first yorkie was so tiny when I got her. Just weighed 12 oz. She grew to 10 lbs and was just the perfect size for us. Your Reese is so cute. You might want to shave his ears to help them "pop" up.

Your little one is a cutie

and looks yorkie to me also! My babies range from 3 to 7 pds one of my girls is the 7 pounder she has always been chubby and stocky too. Shes every bit yorkie with attitude to match and she has all the yorkie features. Just weighed more at the beginning than my others and still does!

Thank you

I was wondering about his ears. They are just not standing. They want to but they can't. Shaving helps? Will the groomers do this? He is only 10 weeks. Is that to early to have him to a groomers? We have one that we take our golden retriever to and we love them so I feel comfortable doing so.

I took a picture of him next to my container of coffee! It's a larger container (3lbs) from Costco. It's 8.5 inches tall. I will try to post here. If it's to large it will be in my album.

He looks 100% yorkie to me also, and he looks a bit large in a very healthy way - not oversized. He's sweet!

Well, even after looking at the picture with the coffee (which is my brand, btw and I'll be over later for a cup), he still doesn't look "large" to me. Haha. He looks adorable Yorkiesized.

Your baby is beautiful! I feel if they are really small there tends to be more health problems. CKC is OK too! I got my pup at 8 weeks because she was weened off mom for quite some time and the breeder felt they were ready. She is smart and well behaved. Enjoy your pup and don't over think things. This site has good info but I find it tends to stress me out with all of the one sided thinkers. As long as you give your pup a loving home, he will be perfect! enjoy

Your puppy is just adorable, looks 100% yorkie to me. All my past pups were 10 to 13 lbs, my last girl also now past weighed in at 17 lbs. My adopted boy is 12 lbs. I love the bigger yorkie.

Is he the one in the profile pic. He is adorable. My yorkie is 9 months old and 9.5 pounds. It all depends on their parents. His mother was 8 and dad was 4. He is short and stocky too.

It's not just the parents but the grand parents great grand parents and so on. It's about genetics.

I think Reese is adorable!! Doesn't look chubby to me, just healthy. My new morkie puppy Mac is short, and compact. But I wouldn't say chubby! Your reese is built alot like Mac.

I like his little short legs! Plus, I'm short. We have to stick together! lol

Here's a picture of Mac. He will be 11 weeks old tomorrow! Excuse the blur. Sitting still is not his thing.

No a puppy should not go to the groomer until they have revived all there puppy shots.

No the CKC (Continental kennel club) is not ok they will register even a table as a full breed dog so someone can say they have a pure yorkie but it really be a mix. Just because a puppy is weaned does not mean it's ok to take the puppy home. The mother is still teaching them things up until 12 weeks and all reputable breeders know that. Health becomes a huge concern when it comes to getting a puppy from a non reputable breeder, even if they seem healthy now they can have many different genetic issues pop up as the get older.

I would wait till he is fully vaccinated before you start grooming him. You don't want him picking up any yuckies. Cute though. My bruiser is 4 months and his ears still flop. Unless he is concentrating, then one goes up. I like his floppy ears, gives him character. :-) congrats on your new baby!
