Silkies are supposed to be bigger.
Preston is a bit bigger than he should be though.
They do look quite similar, but when you see them together and running around playing you notice definate differences in the way their bodies are shaped.
The biggest thing I have noticed is that Yorkies seem to be more "rounded" all over than silkies.
It is hard to explain, but if you see them (especially from behind) standing next to each other, Preston looks kind of like a bear (for want of a better description) and Keebler looks more like you expect a dog to be shaped.
I will have to try and get a pic of the two of them beside each other with their behinds facing me, then you will see what I am not very good at describing. HA HA
Here is another shot of them, you might kind of be able to see what I am talking about.
Keebler's hair is a bit wild so it is harder to tell, but Preston's head is more rounded. |
