| I have been told that my Owen isn't a yorkie too, but he definitely is a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. When I brought him to the groomers, they go, "So this is a Yorkie mix?" And I was like... ummm no. Yorkie. I believe a lot of people think all yorkies have ears that stand up, but mine is just a puppy and he has floppy ears. I think it's a bit ignorant for someone to come up to either of us as if we were not educated on what kind of dog we own!! Plus, your doggie definitely looks like a yorkie!!

| I don't think anyone should take offense by other peoples' comments. I have made mistakes too. One time a lady had a silky and I thought it was a yorkie. I have seen mixes that look pure yorkie and some yorkies that look like mixes. We just have to blow off peoples comments and just love our babies for who they are. |

| I've had two comments so far that Jackson looks like a Silky *sigh* Oh well. I think it's just because of his size.

| ok. i had to go look up the AKC definition of silkies. from the picture they have on the site, i will have to say it DOES look like some of the yorkies on this site. American Kennel Club - Silky Terrier " The general public occasionally confuses this breed with the Yorkie, but in reality, the Silky is larger and more closely related to the Australian Terrier. " this sentence is found in the very fist paragraph on the page. so it is not that uncommon for people to get confused.

| I have never heard of a Silky before until I joined this forum. I have looked at the pics now of one and have to say I actually like them.

| Those eyes could make anyone melt...must have melted away her knowledge of yorkie breed. Like many others have posted, sizes vary as do coats, muzzles, eaers. He is adorable. Love and enjoy him as he loves and enjoys being with you!

| Some people think all Yorkies should be teeny with baby doll faces. They are mistaken. The standard is 4 to 7 lbs. There are Yorkies who weigh more, and Yorkies who weigh less. Some have short ears. Some have long ears. They're still Yorkies. Your's is within the limits of the standard. |

| Your baby is adorable and def. Yorkie! Something like that happened to me when we went to the dog park. A lady with a huge Yorkie, about 22 pounds, came in and when I was asked if my 4 were Yorkies she said no, they can't be, they are to small... (Mikki 5.5 lbs., Minnie 6.5 lbs., Maggie 8 lbs. and Maxie 12 lbs.) I always thought my Yorkies are on the bigger side and I told her that and that Minnie meets almost the AKC standard with her features. Then she said the AKC doesn't define the breed standards... HUH??? I just answered with my standard sentence for ignorant people: "You are absolutely right, dear!" and let her stand there with her mouth open... The next time somebody says something like that to me I'll tell her that she might not be human b/c humans are supposed to be nice and knowledgable... |
