My dog sounds more like a silky! How can a person tell! I could have a poorly bred but pure Yorkie, a Yorkie with a Silky past, or a Silky registered as a Yorkie.

My Daisy is 7 months old, 8lbs 4 oz has a pretty long snout and a long body. She is just CKC registered by a "backyard breeder". I mean, how can you really know without DNA testing?
