I've been wanting to get a Yorkie and was given a phone number to what I thought, was a lady who had a female Yorkie for sale.

When we started talking though, she corrected me when I said Yorkie and said that she actually has "Silky" Terriers.

Can anyone tell me if they are a lot of like both in looks and temperament, etc.?

And, another quick question for tonight is ...

Do both Yorkie and Silky's ears normally stand up or are they cropped to do that?

And, how old would they have to be before one could tell if the ears were going to stand up? I like the looks of them standing up better than flopping down.

Thanks so much for any and all help ... I know I'm going to have many, many questions over the next few weeks and am grateful that y'all are here for me!
