Nikki was found on the streets of Chicago and was taken from the shelter by a yorkie rescue. He has the long nose, thinner longer ears, longer body and he is taller than all of my others. He only weighs 5 lbs but is very thin due to his old age. So when I saw silky's today their faces and body type looked just like Nikki. But since Nikki has a full coat and top knot I thought he can't be a silky. Although he never has grown much hair on his snout. I think it may be due to his being so old. I wonder if he could be a mix of yorkie and silky or just a yorkie with a long nose and ears. He has a beautiful silky coat.
I was just wondering because everyone who sees him remarks on how different he looks than my other 3. I would rather know how old he really is than if he is a yorkie or silky. The 2 vets that have seen him thought he was at least 16 years old and that was a year ago. I can't believe in 2 weeks he will have been with us a year. Thanks for the input. |
