But the mom that looked more like the avg yorkie that I'm use to that
weighs 5 pounds and didn't care to meet me or not

Now the offspring is only 3 pounds slightly under that that we got
and was just told it is not a yorkie but a silky? by a groomer a year later
This groomer says people get yorkies and silkies mixed up
something is mixed up because silkies weigh 10 pounds and ours is 2.8 lbs

yet the vet says she is a yorkie

we are very confused

our doggie whatever she is is very loved and hardly ever barks only
when needs to and just loves people
she is what everone would love to have if they are tiny dog lovers
but what is she?
a silky?
a silky yorky?
a teacup yorky?
I did just want a regular yorkie but I am in love with my little dot!
Wonder what we got?
Got AKC.org and read the standard on both these breeds. While they have similiar traits they are very easily told apart.
