LOL, people see what they want to see, and that is that you can have all the knowledge in the world and some people will never accept it.. that is just human nature.. a silky is a product of years of selecting breeding the yorkshire terrier and the australian terrier, that is why they look alike so much, in a good line we still get some throw backs, like a little wire hair baby here and there or a smaller silky, I have one of those right now, I have a girl that at 6 weeks is only 2 pounds where her sisters are a bit above 3 which is the right weight for a silky baby at that age.. and like all terriers they are very vocal and stubburn..
and yes, usually I win when I tell them I breed and show Silky terriers...LOL |
Lol, sometimes people need to be put in their place

Don't let one "expert" bug you |
Because their hair isn't long? LOL!
Yeah I know I shouldn't let it bug me, but I've never had someone argue with me on what my own dog is, like I don't know even though I've had him since he was 9 weeks old!

If I had though quick enough I would have said no yours are the ones that are not true yorkies. I have just lerned to ignore people. I know that Toby is a purebred, and that is all that matters. I understand you getting upset though. |
Yeah, ignorant people are frustrating.
