I'm new to the board and enjoy being here even though I don't actually own a Yorky. We needed a dog with hair, rather than fur for our allergies in my family. Since the cutest dogs with hair were Yorkies and Silkies, we went with the Silky because we thought Yorkies were all tiny, little dogs. With kids ages 9 to 13, I wanted something I didn't have to worry about getting squished by kids. Our Silky weighs 10 lbs, is darling, all we hoped for and so sweet, but I guess we could have gone with a Yorkie, too! Our Silky is almost a year old, her birthday is 22 Dec.
