I don't want to be mean by disagreeing but he is most definetely a silkie. To me, yorkies and silkies look SO different. Really the only thing they have in common in my view, is their coloring and that they are a small breed. But 6.2 lbs is still considered a yorkie unless he has a long face/snout. Sometimes vets and other people are often confused about the difference. Your baby is loveable either way though
I agree. I should have said bigger yorkies and silkies look alot alike. My groomer showed me a picture of a silky and My Chachi looks alot like them. Jewels my 6 lb yorkie doesnt.
