UG! Tired of hearing she's a Silky... - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

redvalaria · 07-15-2009, 06:55 AM

it all just goes back to that WONDERFUL natural diversity I was talking about.

I walk my "teapot" and my "teacup" together and love them both! even though there is a 15 pound difference, their personalities are so similiar, and so very, very Yorkie!

isn't it great we have such range in our dogs? My dad's is just at 3 pounds and I adore him, I have one of the bigger furbutts on here with Hamish, who I have carted with me all over the world, and I love all the yorkies in between.

Wouldn't it suck to have ordinary dogs?

Have a stock answer ready for these twits who want to tell YOU what YOUR dog is (like, "well, the uninformed often confuse the two. Natural variation is a wonderful thing and I love his uniqueness")

Good luck.

I love your answer, that's great.

Take a look at my albums, I have 6 and they all look different, except the two small ones they look alike for now.All have AKC papers as Yorkies. My Harley is 16 plus pounds has a longer snout and big ears. Rita is 6 yrs old and I swear she has the face & eyes of a pug, and very tiny ears, and perfect Yorkie Coloring of Gold and steel. Her face is kind of smushed in and very short snout, she weighs 6 lbs and is very short leg wise. Scooter is 1 1/2, weighs 5 lbs, very light on head, legs, belly, almost white, small ears, average snout. Each different in thier own looks, but love'em just the same!

What a cute yorkie

They're just like humans, all of them have slightly different faces, that's what makes them unique

Stella's left ear stands up straight, but her right ear has the point folded over just a little bit sometimes. And the groomer told me how to fix it and shaved it for me, but I think I like her uniqueness. I'll always know it's her

HI It's almost impossible to know if it's a silky from just looking. Go with what the breeder told you. Everybody has an a different thing to say and they don't know what they are talking about. Why would the breeder lie to you. Don't listen to these groomers because they don't know what they are talking about.

Has anybody bought a puppy from teacups puppies.com located in hollywood. I have heard nothing but bad things from them. They sell dogs from puppy mills too. I had a big problem with them and need help

Okay I'm confused, Chelsea on her papers said she a yorkie type??? Now don't get mad but I didn't buy her from Petland before I know better. So I kinda thought she was a silky, she has a small face short nose, big ears, long body and short leg, her hair wouldn't grow to the floor it thin, she's 6lbs and overweight. I thought I read somewhere on YT that described her. Now I'm not sure what she is a Yorkie or a Silky. But heck I love her anyways and she has a wonderful life with me, my brother and sister-in-law. By the way ignore the groomer what the heck does he know....nothing....but grooming.

whats the differance between a yorkie and a silky?

tinyterriers · 07-15-2009, 01:58 PM

What did you buy a yorkie or a silky,does the puppy have papers, that should tell u what u bought.

tinyterriers · 07-15-2009, 03:58 PM

Silky's are beautiful too. I bred them, I had the Mom and Dad and bred them 3 times,she had 6 each litter and we kept one out of each litter,they are wonderful too,but mine had more health problems,thats why I bought a Yorkie,my first Yorkie, she was 5 ilbs.and didn't have any problems with her.

kwaymon · 07-15-2009, 04:35 PM

Trust me. She is a yorkie! And that is coming from someone who has owned both a silky and a yorkie

tinyterriers · 07-16-2009, 06:12 AM

Whwn you bought the puppy, was she sold as a yorkie,if this breeder is selling silkya for yorkie WHY? why doesn't she just breed yorkies. I would just drop it,I say she is yorkie and she is beautiful,she is a pet yorkie not a show yorkie.forget about it and enjoy your puppy.

Dara311 · 07-16-2009, 09:10 AM
