He's a cutie! I doubt he is a purebred yorkie, and he most certainly isn't a Silky Terrier. A Silky has a much sleeker body than a Yorkie. They are not as wide in the head, chest or haunches. To me he looks like he's 3/4 yorkie and possibly 1/4 wire haired terrier although he is too young to really tell yet. At 5 lbs now he is likely to be well over the standard 7 lbs when full grown.
You said you bought him from a vet. Can you ask the vet to either see the parents or see copies of their registration papers? As long as you didn't pay for a purebred then no harm done really other than he may be bigger than you anticipated and his coat is may not be that of a yorkie when full grown.
It will be interesting to hear what the new vet has to say as it is always difficult to make these judgements with only a photograph to go on. |
