Had I known the difference at the time, believe me I would have educated her. I just never gave it any thought at all that Coco could be a silky. Her previous owner said she was a yorkie and is AKC registered yorkie. The groomer told me that with a yorkie they could still register with AKC as a silky. I was completely ignorant of this. But, I definitely getting myself educated for the next time it comes up. I'm pretty sure I wont be taking her back to this groomer. The lady is really close to where we live and she's been grooming for a while. So, I figured she should be good. I was not really impressed with her grooming. It wasn't bad but just not as good as I had expected. She didn't use any electric clippers she told me she used scissors on Coco. Not sure why she did that. I did tell her NOT to shave Coco anywhere on her body. I do not like them shaved around their eyes and I didnt want her shaved around her bottom. They wanted to because they said it was sanitary. Well, I told them i don't care for the shaved butt look at all. Besides, i know how to use baby wipes when needed.
