| Yorkie, Silky or Australian terrier I bought this beautiful terrier 2 weeks ago, he is 7 months of age, but his owner told me he was an Australian terrier (he has no papers), but for his looks and soft hair which doesn't shed, he looks rather a Silky terrier or a Yorkie. He is about 3 kgs (less than 7 oz) but his muzzle is not so long, and his body is longer than Yorkies and he was born brown as an Australian terrier. What do you all think? Silky, Yorkie or Aussie? |

| The really pointy ears looks Australian terrier-like and the color is unusual. Could be silky which is a yorkie/australian terrier mix basically. If in doubt you can have a dna test done :3

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | It's hard to tell for sure, but to me he looks like a Silky. The Silky Terrier was bred from the Yorkshire Terrier and the Australian Terrier, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a lot of Yorkie in a Silky.
