QuestionHow can i determine if my dog is yorkie or australian? We bought him at a pet store - no papers - they said he was pure bred yorkie. He weighs 10-11lb. I have looked at Austrlian pictures and found a few pictures of short-haired larger yorkies- he could be either. It doesn't matter to us which he is - just courious.
AnswerNancy,
The only way to tell is a DNA test, but it is very expensive. The only other way is to buy from a reputable breeder, but if you are not showing the dog and just loving it, who cares. If you are breeding it, that may be another story. I would be suspect if there were no papers.
