But, standing ringside getting ready to go in the ring, and in the next ring there is the Silkie you definately see the difference in the breeds. Not only in their structure, size, coat, but in their movement.
Barb Biessel a great yorkie breeder and one of the great handlers, handles Silkies too, states there is a definate differance in their temperament too. |
oh YES, and beleive me living with both breeds is fun, fun, I find that my yorkie is more stuburn than the silkie, also training took a bit longer with my yorkie she thinks she is the boss..
my silky is more YAPPIER, she barks to let me know my son flushed the toilet...
more humble than my yorkie and not as clingy..LOL they are as different as night and day.. I LOVE both of them.. and still try my best to make both of them very happy here in my home..
