the main differences I see between the 2 breeds are in the body length and face. I guess head/nose shape maybe? I'm not so good at thinking in terms of how something looks different. I can see that there is a difference, just not pinpoint what it is... Another thing that really throws me is the range of face shapes for each breed. I see yorkies that don't looks very yorkie like to me, and I'm sure the same thing goes for silky too. Then looking at the show pictures I find myself thinking "but what would that silky look like groomed like a yorkie?" I can't really imagine being able to tell for sure either way.
I almost want a larger yorkie just so I can argue its a teapot yorkie if anyone ever says anything, then imagine people going home that night googling teapot yorkie and ending up at yorkietalk! lol of course they would probably just assume you were meaning teacup and clearly insane if you thought that giant dog would fit in a teacup... |
