I have heard in other forums here that some breeders mix a Yorkie stud with a Silky bitch to produce larger litters. My very unusual Yorkie did come from a very large litter. The litter outweighed the mother by far, I am told, and required all the pups then be bottle fed. I have a piece of paper showing both the parents names and registration numbers, and describing Chewy as a full blooded Yorkie, but I suppose that anyone can write down that kind of stuff if they are alreaddy practicing a deceptive breeding process.

My dog is every breeder's nightmare, lol, but that's o.k. because I prefer him to the standard by far! But I was just wondering if Chewy's unusual stature and other strange features (very long body, long neck, silver and tan coat, floppy ears, back legs too short or front legs too long, etc...) are due to being a throwback, or being a silky mix...

So anyway, I have three questions I'd like to ask of the breeders here:
1. Could any experienced breeders here tell from a picture or five, which of these two my dog more likely is?

2. Could anyone tell me what's typical in Yorkie throwbacks?

3. Has anyone ever considered intentionally breeding larger Yorkies simply as companions and pets? Lots of people (and I mean lots) ask me where they can get a dog like Chewy. When I say "He's a Yorkie" they get depressed. "Oh...then he's unique...". lol.
