Differences between them Ok I've seen A silky terrier and a Yorkshire terrier. I KNow that yorkies tend to be smaller and have more of a brown tone to their fur, but what really is the difference between a silky terrier and a yorkshire terrier? Personality? It can't only be because of the hair color. |

Here's a good page on the Silkys (from the American Kennel Club (AKC)): http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/silter.cfm AKC Yorkie page: http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/york.cfm This site details differences : The Yorkshire Terrier is a dog with maximum weight of 6 pounds; it has much less muscle and body weight than a Silky Terrier, and is very refined in bone. They also have a more rounded, dome-shaped skull, large round eyes and a short muzzle. A Silky will have a longer, more wedge shape to the head with a flatter skull and an almond shape to the eye. The Australian Terrier head is very much like the Silky only a little larger and coarser. The Silky will weigh approximately 10 pounds while the Australian Terrier weighs in closer to 18 pounds. http://www.geocities.com/silkyterrie...omparison.html |
