Too hard to tell at that age. I think Jackson is a Silky and so does a few Silky breeders who I've talked to. However, it's not impossible that he's just a badly-bred Yorkie, and in fact is probably more likely considering they are a lot more common.

Size isn't the only factor though. I've seen some very small Silky's and very large Yorkies. I think Jackson is very Silky in his eyes, his ears, his muzzle, his body length, etc. Which is stuff you will be able to see more as he gets older.

He's ADORABLE!

He looks 100% yorkie to me. There were 4 puppies in the litter my little piccolo came from....three of them are 5 lbs. at 9 mos., and one is 9 1/2 lbs.! I know they are all 100% yorkie, because I own the parents. Some people like to be contrary no matter what the subject...your neighbor is obviously not an authority. lol

wow, that is so amazing that out of 4 you had 3 little ones and a "teapot". I bet he/she is gorgeous.

He looks like a yorkie, but like you said, titles don't matter. If they're the love of your life, that's all that matters.

yorkietalkjilly · 07-23-2012, 12:44 PM

To me with the huge amounts of Yorkies now, there are so many that are said to be purebred that all look so different, I can never tell. He doesn't look exactly like the majority of Yorkie puppies I have seen when I used to visit a lot of breeders but he does look like many I've seen so I just can't tell. He sure is a darling little boy! I'll bet you are awfully proud and happy with that little charmer. Such a face! He made me smile.

LittleBits Mom · 07-25-2012, 04:45 AM

Maybe that person had a Silky before and was just comparing them. They do resemble each other at a young age, but I think he looks like a Yorkie to me.

CBear · 07-25-2012, 10:48 AM

Charlie gets called a silky all the time and when I say he is a Yorkie people tell me he is too big to be one (like I would lie....). He is 12lbs, and thin for his height/ length.

navillusc · 07-25-2012, 12:13 PM

OMG...I've had people ask me what kind of dog Brody is and when I tell them he's a Yorkie, they have suddenly become 'experts' on my dog and said that no, he is a Silky. I have gently corrected them, saying well, yes, there is a breed of dog called a Silky and they look much like a Yorkie, but THIS "silky coated" dog is a Yorkshire Terrier breed, or Yorkie...not a Silky Terrier breed of dog. So far, I have gotten my point across easily enough with all who've corrected me, but, really, it is them whose ignorance is showing...oops!

It's funny that Mia is silky coated, too, but she's 'golden' in color and when I tell them she's a Yorkie...she's just not able to make the blue color anymore...they accept it without question. Really odd, now that I'm thinking about it...

Your baby is a darling...I wouldn't worry about the unknowing...lol

carmen in nj · 07-25-2012, 12:20 PM

LOL, well sadly it seems that every yorkie that is above 6 pounds is a silky.. I met a lady at the pet store while I was shopping yesterday with my Cotton Coat yorkie Prada that told me that my SILKY girl was adorable..I gently told her that she was a OFF standard YORKIE, and she proceded to try to lecture me about how much bigger silkies are than TEA CUP yorkies..LOL I laugh and told her that I know I am a silky show breeder and I know the differences of both breeds and walk away..LOL hubby thought it was hilarius..LOL

Carmen, I read your Silky description you linked to in the earlier post and there was no mention of floppy ears. I've wanted to ask you before - do Silkies ever have floppy ears like some yorkies do?

OP.... your Bentley is adorable!

VERY Seldom you find a floppy ear silky, but I know a few, mainly because as babies they were not taken care of apropiately. I shave the pups ears starting at 4 weeks, some puppies the ears go up fast and some take some work, just like yorkies..

hugs,
