Yorkie or Silky terrier?

[mustangbee]

I'd say Yorkie too. Save her picture now at 6 months( I'm sure you planned on that). 6 months from now you will see a big change

I do have a question though About Silky vrs Yorkie's I thought a Silky did have the long muzzle? ANd is larger then the yorkie breed? Am i mistaken? How does one tell these 2 a part? [/QUOTE]

Breed standard for the Silky is 8 to 10 lbs and as they were bred with the Australian Terrier they are more substantial in body girth than the Yorkie. Their snout is usually longer and their legs are shorter and a bit stockier. Stronger overall. Their hair is also very silky (LOL) with a great sheen and tends not to mat.

She's definitely cute! I would leave the ears like they are....she is just so cute!

I made so many mistakes last time I posted about this I am just going to post the Dog show with some beautiful Silkies. hehe. YORKSHIRE TERRIER > Videos > Westminster Kennel Club I know it says Yorkshire but it really is the Silky video.

Yorkie,,,My Lolas ears looked like that when she was a puppy but she grew into them. People would make fun of her and call her YODA. Thats ok, I was a late bloomer too.

Really enjoyed the Silky show at Westminster. Thank you.

I love her ears! They are adorable. So I noticed this was a few weeks ago when it was started, did you get her first haircut and is there a pic somewhere?

Thank you for sharing that picture, I've looked a tiny bit at silky terrier pic's to see if I would be able to tell the difference and never really could spot it out as well as i can with that picture. Now I feel like I can SEE the difference in the head/snout

As far as people telling them their yorkies are a silky, I would be willing to wager that the majority of them are meaning coat type not breed type. Then general population, even animal lovers don't really have much knowledge on different breeds of dogs. I don't think that the YT community is filled with "common" animal lovers and a very high majority of us know quite a lot if not almost all there is to know about the Yorkshire terrier breed... and probably at least every other breed that each individual has ever owned that posts on this board. I myself know quite a bit about Labs, yorkies, boston terriers... other breeds.. not so much. And no one that I know personally that has animals, and are very very good animal caretakers knows much about the dog breed that they have. They may have researched if it was the right type of dog for them but thats about as far as it goes.

I absolutely love the big ears on these little ones. They remind me of a cute gremlin adorable
