| Yorkie or Silky? This guy was in terrible shape (matted, ticks, burrs) and skinny as a rail when my sister found him running out in the country where she lived. She thought he would make a good dog for mom, but he's too young and active to suit her, so he's now with me and my two dogs. We took him straight to the vet (the works) and then to the groomers and he's putting on weight and seems to be coming along really well. He was scared to death when we got him. I'm sure he had been abused, vet said he had a broken femur that had healed on it's own, so he has a slight limp, but he said it wouldn't be any problem. Anyway the vet and groomer said he was a yorkie, but I'm wondering if it might be a silkey. He was 6 lbs. when I got him and now he's up to about 7.4 lbs. and stands about 9 in. at the shoulder. The groomer had to cut a lot of his hair, but it's starting to grow out. So what do you think, Yorkie or Silkey? |

| He's a Yorkie, Silky Terriers are longer and leaner. He has a typical yorkie body. Cute as a button. Thank you for rescuing this little angel. |

| awe, he is a cutie! What did you name him? He looks like a yorkie to me. But I really dont see the difference. I went to petsmart and this lady had a silky. She was still a puppy, but she looked like a yorkie to me. This little guy is so lucky he found a good home!

| Thanks everyone......I'm just crazy about him and he loves to play with my dogs Skipper (Pom/spitz) and Toby (terrier mix). I've been calling him Squirt, but since he seems to think he's so big I've been thinking about a more macho name........like Rambo or Rocky. Here are pics of his new buddies, Skipper and Toby: |

| This looks very much like the puppies produced by millers when they use a Silkie mom and a small Yoorkie dad to produce more puppies in a litter and so they don't have to spend money on c-sections. No matter what he is, he is a sweet boy. I am so glad he found y'all. |
