Someone confirm here because this matches my pup to a T.

The Silky has a longer muzzle than the Yorkie and the Silky's head is more wedge shaped than the Yorkie, which has a more "dome shaped" head. The Silky's body is longer than the Yorkie's body. The Yorkie's body shape is more "square", in that the Yorkie's body is no longer than it is tall at shoulder giving a square appearance. The Silky's body is somewhat longer than it is tall at the shoulder. A healthy silky is well muscled and very sturdy for a dog of this size.
yes derby is a silky yorkie i believe
in that case hes going too be alot bigger then reg yokies and also they tend too have shorter coats and thinner bodys they tend to favor basic dog structure bodys while reg yokies have small compact even bodys
