She said first his ears are right on top of his head and they're supposed to be off to the side. Then she said his legs and body are too long and his snout is too long also. Now I realize he's got a long body with long legs, but he's still only 6.5 pounds! But hers were tiny with the babydoll faces, and while he doesn't look like that, I can't believe he's not a Yorkie!
Anyway, she told me he's a Silky Terrier. When I got home I googled the Silky, and he doesn't look like that to me! It makes me sad that someone would doubt his "Yorkieness"!  Here's a pic of him...what do you guys think? (sorry about the quality...it's off my phone because my camera broke.) |
your baby is very cute
i wouldn't worry too much about it.
and just so you know. i have never seen a silky in person, but i would imagine that they look very similar to yorkies. so it's not that bad if people confuse them. i also had asked someone before if their yorkie was a silky, only because it was not like the yorkies i have seen before. that yorkie had a longer snout. so i thought maybe it was not a yorkie. but i wasn't trying to be mean, and i hope that lady was not offended that i asked her that...i wish more people would post pix of silkies so we can see the difference between silky and yorkie.
