Of course, they all probably have the same heritage if you were to follow them back to their origins. Many people have remarked that our Graysee looks much more like a Silky than a Yorkie, due to her size, shape of head, length of snout, "silkiness" of her hair, etc. It really doesn't matter to us, as we love her, and never intended to breed and/or show her. And she REFUSES to keep a topknot; she will grind her head into the floor attempting to lose the rubber band or bow. We just gave up on that idea!  |

I just have to tell em I don't know lolz, Because he is smaller like a yorkie but has a silky coat.I agree they are all adorable either way <3.Pippin will grind his head on the floor with the pet supermarket and petco bows!They are so big!I have to get him baby hair bows the light ones lol.
