Honestly? Looks like a Silky to me... but really, the odds are he's a Yorkie. There are a lot of badly bred yorkies out there (and that's NO offense)... he is freakin' ADORABLE!! That face just gets me.
I often think and have been told Jackson is a Silky. I tend to think he is... he doesn't act like ANY yorkie I've ever met, his mannerisms are exactly like a lot of Silky videos (from breeders) I have seen. I spoke with a few Silky breeders and have somewhat gotten involved in the Silky world, they have never seen a Yorkie like Jackson before they tell me...
It's hard to tell without seeing a shot of his body, too.
But the problem is -- it's VERY easy to tell the difference between a well-bred standard Silky, Yorkie and Australian Terrier. BUT yorkies are so often bred by backyard breeders, and not bred to standard, etc, and then you get dogs of all different types and it's just so hard to tell.
Here is Jackson for reference.
