as long as they are your baby dont worry about what they say. she is very pretty and yes a big girl but that is ok more to love

I mean my brownie is a chihuahua mix and no one belives me but I know for a fact I had to rush her mommy who was a full blood chihuahua (now when it comes to the daddy i have no idea what he was) to the vet while she was in labor cause she was stuck so I dont care what others say she is my baby and I love her for just being her, and for not taking after her mom ..

she was not the nicest dog ...

This was on that site Taje found, it's very interesting information although I'm not sure I agree with everything he says even though I'm not an expert, there was some good comparison photos too but you'll have to check the site to see those.
I think your girl is beautiful. Poo on those that try and say she's not a yorkie because she doesn't fit the yorkie stereo type or the akc standard. This site is filled with gorgeous larger size yorkies and your girl is one of them. I used to have a Silky Terrier as a young girl and I can tell you one thing for 100% sure their demeanor is totally different. They are not readily lap dogs and even though they may look similar in comparison, a silky has a stronger body frame. I could not mistake my silky for a yorkie the personalities are very different, not to say one is better than the other..just different.

Differences Between
Silky Terrier ~ Yorkshire Terriers ~ Australian Terrier
One of the questions ask most often is, " What is the difference between a Yorkie and Silky?" I will attempt to explain this along with photos for you to observe the differences.

A Silky is a 10 lb dog of substantial body for strength but with fine bone for agility. They have a 'wedge' shape to the head (longer muzzle and flatter skull) with ears that stand erect on top of the head. They are a bit longer in body than tall at the shoulders. They are well muscled and extremely alert. Ready to please but with a stubborn streak if forced rather than 'ask' to perform a task. The Silky coat is just that "Silky". It can be any shade of blue from a light steel blue, to pidgeon blue to a darker slate blue and many varing shades in between. The tans should be rich and vibrant. NO BOWS PLEASE A Silky is truly a BIG DOG in a small dog suit!! They love to run and play outdoors, chase the squirrels and keep all those big dogs at bay! You can carry one around but they would much prefer to walk, thank you!

A Yorkie is a dog of approximate weight of 4 -5 lbs, (not over 7 lbs.). The head is shorter in muzzle and is more dome shaped. The ears are erect but may tend to flare to the side a bit. They usually have a larger base than a Silky ear. The Yorkie is a square dog meaning that it is no longer than it is tall at shoulder giving a 'box' appearance. A Yorkie is only suppose to be a 'slate' color of blue and the coat is usually heavier and floor length (when kept in show condition). A Yorkie is more of a toy dog than a Silky in that they readily become a lap dog. And love to be pampered and waited on.

The Australian Terrier is a bit harsher than the Silky but basically the same head shape and body style but a bit larger package. The weight generally runs in the 16 - 20 lb range. They have a different coat texture in that they are what is called a "broken coat" terrier and they carry an undercoat and a guard coat. They are the blue and tan coloration (as well as solid reds). The topknot is a bit softer than the rest of the body coat and should be profuse.

When they bother you again tell em "Oh really? So what makes you and expert?"

I personally think she's a yorkie.Nala is beautiful,she looks like my Baby and he's all yorkie.You should tell them to mind their own business if they don't know what their talking about.

Let them watch Bambi-the saying goes:If you have nothing nice to say,don't say nothing at all.

To me she's a cutie pie

You guys are soo sweet ALL of you!! I don't know what I do withouth my YT family!!! You all have a way of picking someone up when their down. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for making me feel better. You all know I love Nala no matter what but it does tend to get you down when someone always wants to question if she's a yorkie or not. The only part I'm not understanding is how the hell do they know they don't even own a yorkie!

Last night the girl in Hollywood video insisted that Maximus was a silkie...because she has a silkie and he looks like Maximus....she bought her dog from a "LUXURY" petstore...so that made her the "expert"...I told her maybe her dog was a yorkie then and walked out!!

You know, when my skinkids were small it was always the relatives that had no kids that knew exactly what it was I was doing wrong with my kids.

I swear, people who don't know what they are talking about should keep their comments to themselves even if they are well intentioned.

Hello Everyone,

I just joined this forum yesterday, and this is my first post. I don't have a picture to show you, but I am really questioning some things about my yorkie. I need advice REALLY bad. My yorkie, Casey, is 6 months and I'd guess 8-10 pds. He is long too. His legs, front part of his chest, just close around his nose, inside of his ears, and a little around the frame of his face (but low) is tan. His eyebrows are tanish--silver along with the bridge of his nose up. Everything else is black. I took him to get groomed yesterday, and the groomer said, "he's a yorkie mix right?" It hurts my feelings. I have always wanted a yorkie--and a smaller one at that. I had to wait until I got a house and had the money. I'm in need of advice badly!!!!

Holly

Id have to see a picture. If I were you I would take the advice everyone has been giving me (look through the posts). It will make you feel much better. All yorkies look different and have traits that others may not have. The only thing that I would be upset if I were you is if it is a mix and you had to pay full yorkie price. I'm sure you love your baby and just from his description he's sounds very cute. So just ignore what others say and love your baby even more. I'd love to see pictures!!
