| She definitely looks like a yorkie to me. Some yorkies just have bigger ears. If you trimmed the hair on the top third of her ears they would look smaller. I think she is adorable. |

| She is an adorable(YORKIE). Just beautiful. A lot of yorkies have big ears, doesn't mean they're not yorkies. I used k y jelly on my dogs bangs until they get long enough to pull up, this keeps it out of their eyes. shh stop laughing, it really does work. |

| Youe little one is a cute little yorkie When she goes and gets her hair cut , and her ears are trimmed , that is all she needs. To me, they don't look funny, especially if she hasn't had a cut before. I think it's great she can hold her ears up ! my Suzi couldn't until her ear hair was shaved. I do have a question though About Silky vrs Yorkie's I thought a Silky did have the long muzzle? ANd is larger then the yorkie breed? Am i mistaken? How does one tell these 2 a part? Should i start a new thread? Just curious? In tis lady's picture her little Yorkie was small, though, therefore, to me still fit the profile as a yorkie, with the petite features, and color markings>

| Attached is a picture of a champion silky terrier. They generally are bigger than a yorkie and their head is shaped different. I have seen many yorkies that do resemble the silky and I have seen a few silkies that resemble yorkies. It just depends on how well they are bred. |

But yes generally silkies are larger (more than 7 lbs). I did some research when we got Uni, and I looked at yorkies and silkies and they looked almost the same, except size.
