i know there are some members with big yorkies (20 pounds plus), but i'm convinced mine's a silky. his ears shoot straight up and are parallel to each other instead of hanging from the head in v-shape. when i first adopted him, his ears were hanging down. his body is long compared to his height (almost dachshund like). and he has a silver patch on his head, and this area is slowly expanding. it was only a small spot on his head previously but now the top of his head is completely white...i love him anyhow.
he's had multiple trips to the vet the past month. twice for tapeworms (he received 2 praziquental injections...ouch) and twice for neutering and follow up stitch removal. he's been checked and hasn't had any health problems outside of the tapeworms.
i will definitely try to get that book soon and read up on it. i've really tried to socialize him, but i don't want the people around me to fear my little boy. it's funny. when he goes to the dog park, he is much nicer around strangers than outside of the dogpark. |
The ears are supposed to stand and the hair changes color. His head should eventually "gold" out and his body should turned steele blue. Not all are these exact colors. I'd say the weight and length are confirmation issues. Lots of yorkies are out of standard.
Personally I don't think he's mean...I think he's a terrier. Inside the dog park he's not defending his terriority ...outside he feels it's his "job".
