 NO, He's NOT a SILKY, He's a YORKIE!
My Artie is on my Avatar, he's a whopping 10.3 lbs. and he's 5 yrs. old, he is pure "Muscle"! I call him "Sumo" sized, I also have 2 other Yorkies that are
7 lbs. and 5 1/2 lbs. they are also very Muscular since they get alot of exercise, I make it a point to walk them at least twice a day for 30 min. each time. I always get alot of rude comments about how BIG he is and if he is a Silky? He is the smartest, most entertaining he out performs the other 2 w/c are females, he goes out of his way to please me and make me smile. He was my first Yorkie and I bought him from a Breeder, that had purchased him as a
"Stud" or Breeding Stock but when he got over 5 lbs. she SOLD him to me!
Since he was Neutered just last year he put on even more weight but my point of all this was......even thought he's too Big for others, he's just Perfect
to me and if it is'nt obvious he's my Favorite one! I love my other 2, but they are too Fragile to be around children and they a very Accident prone, they have gotten stuck in too many small places.
