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. |
That makes total sense. When you look at Yorkie pics and Silky pics you can hardly tell some of them apart.
But when I was in the UK I noticed that Yorkie and Silkies both look different than they do here. The Silkies have much more of the traditional Silky look and Yorkies are bigger but with the very rounded head and rougher coats. The almost all looked cotton coated.
