| Is He a Yorkie or a Silky? Hi, everyone, I'm new here. I found this site on a quest to find out if my Yorkie may actually be a Silky. Oscar is a year and half old and weighs 11 lbs 4 oz. I have had a few people ask if he was a Silky, which made me wonder, but I never really looked into it. But today, I took him to the vet for his annual check-up and my vet said he felt he looks more Silky. He is very stubborn, which I know is a Yorkie trait. I've attached some pics and would love opinions. I do have papers that say he is a Yorkie, but I just don't know. |

| I'm new to the Yorkie world so there's no way I can tell. I just wanted to tell you he's absolutely adorable.

| I don't know, I can rarely tell them apart. He looks yorkie to me! The groomer told me he thought my Jackson was a Silky or mixed with Silky. If he is, I don't care! But I think he's all Yorkie. Who knows!

| Yorkie. I have a big one too, remember, they used to breed them a lot bigger. you can go to American Kennel Club - akc.org and go by breeds and see the difference in them |

| Thanks everyone for the welcomes and your opinions. I have such a hard time telling the two breeds apart. I think it's his large size that throws people off. I don't care either way what breed he is, just wanted to know for sure. He's still my baby and the best cuddler in the family! |

| He is adorable. I also cannot tell if he is a Yorkie or a Silky. Last edited by JoshieBoy; 04-06-2009 at 05:21 PM. |
