I don't see anything that leans me towards a silky. If he's got Silky in him at all, it's back beyond three generations if I were to guess. Sorry you thought you had your little one pegged here, but I must give him credit for being a Yorkie! He's just not in proportion w/ the standard of a Yorkie, it happens TOO often, but they're Yorkies nonetheless.
I like his expression.
btw, his head piece is nothing of a Silky's head. Even a poorly bred one tends to have a different structure even than what your little guy has. I can procure photos for you if you'd like me to point out exactly what I'm seeing in your little guy and just why I'm saying he's not a Silky. |
YEssss i cant agree more. Seeing a silky in person is an eye opening experience. You can definitely see the difference. I saw the pics the OP has and he looks like a Yorkie to me as well.
