Her legs don't look stocky and her muzzle doesn't appear (to me) to be long enough, slanted enough, nor triangular enough to be a Silky either. She looks like a big Yorkie to me.

Exactly what I was going to say. Silkys and yorkies actually look quite different if they are well bred. But the head shape is the most distinctive feature to me.

I always wonder why so many people ask if yorkies are silkys, esp since silkys aren't even that popular. Yorkies are much more popular. I've never even seen a silky in person before.
