It would be fun to see Jackson's littermates all grown up. It would be doubly fun to meet them and see how they compare in personality. |
He is 11" inch from the floor to his shoulders, and 15.5" long. His girth is like 17.5" around.

I went on a Silky Terrier site and for most of the pictures I had a very hard time telling the difference. I wonder if a lot of the puppy mills have interbred the two where a lot of them are mixed now. If so it makes a good combo. |
Silky's were 'created' by mixing Yorkies and Australian Terriers together so they are very much alike.
I've actually heard of some BYB'ers using Silky mothers (because they are larger, and give birth 'easier', and sometimes have more puppies) with small Yorkie fathers.
