We have a Silky puppy right now that at 6 months is barely 4 pounds......and she is out of one of the current top ranked silkies and the WB of last years speciality who were both normal size.......so Silkies can be smaller.
A few of the bigger differences are:
Tri-color - their topnot should be lighter than their muzzle
Longer muzzle
Body is longer - pup should be 1/5 longer than tall (so more rectangle)
Hair color - wide range of acceptable blues - from almost silver to the dark steel blue
At the Silky speciality last year, there were many silkies with hair to the ground (and some cut to be above the ground).
Nikki is very cute!!!
