I would approach this girl at the next class and tell her that the Yorkie is SUPPOSED to have a silky coat. A silky terrier and a yorkshire terrier sometimes do look alike but I think their paws and feet look different. A silky has more of a "cat-like" paw than a yorkie to me. I also think the ears are more pointed and longer. Don't let people like this bother you though, yorkies come in all shapes and sizes and some have color variations.
