I had actually never heard of a silky until my friend who had his dam got her.
I also like the sturdier frame of the silky. Huey isn't a big cuddler. He lays on me a lot, but on his terms (I actually think he's half cat...). He is very smart but very stubborn. He is independent, but wants to be independent NEAR his human. 
I love the combination of the 2 breeds and if I ever get another, would like another "silkshire terrier". |
But the difference is in your situation is that you've been told about his parents versus some breeder / rescue trying to pass him off as a full blooded Yorkie. I didn't really know the difference between a Yorkie and a Silky until I got Miles. They could have told me (unless there's nothing to tell which might be the case too lol) I wouldn't have cared either way. I guess to justify the dollars; Miles was almost 700.00 from rescue. He was a beautiful baby and I feel in love with him the minute I laid eyes on him.
