My dog came from a rescue situation-- she was taken from the home of a woman who supposedly bred yorkies, but I have always strongly suspected that she is at least part silkie. She just *looks* more like the photos of silkies that I have seen. Now, after reading the descriptions that you all linked to, I'm even more convinced that she must be part silkie-- those personality descriptions match Penny almost exactly!
I wish DNA testing wasn't so pricy-- it could be interesting.
