Pedigrees are as good as the breeder they come from. I am not saying your dog is not a yorkie, but if you check the AKC descriptions a yorkie is square and a silky is more obolong. that is what one of the main criterias when a judge is looking at at a show.. My Dyson is starting to look more squarerish i am hoping he grows longer, and I have a very good pedigree for him, remember this breeds can always throw back a lesser looking baby, is all in the DNA..a silky can throw back a yorkie looking dog, because a silky is a mix of the yorkie and the australian terrier, a yorkie has no reason to throw back a silky , unless australian DNA is mix in there somewhat.. this been our argument for a while..

A standard yorkie is more square we are talking about out of standard bigger yorkies. Im not disagreeing with you I just dont believe all these bigger yorkies that are more long than square are silkys
