Hello Christy~ Greta was born Nov 1, 2010, I can't pass her up since she is an All Saints Day puppy! She has these wisps of hair that stick out and she honestly looks like the pictues I googled of yorkie/chi crosses. On the other hand, I don't have reason to doubt the breeder. The lady is very geniune and unless there is a skelton in the closet somewhere, <smile> Thank you for responding. The breeder has sent me several pictures, as soon as I figutre out how to post them, I will :) Peace, Angela Mose
