Yorkie or Silky? 4 Attachment(s) I went with Bentley for a walk last night, and bumped into my neighbor. We talked for a little bit and she told me that Bentley doesn't look like a Yorkie, that once he gets older he'll turn out to be a Silky. I honestly don't care, either way I love him to death, but I wanted to see what you ladies think. He is 4 months old, and he's already 4lbs. Here are some pictures of my handsome <3 Attachment 372600 Attachment 372601 Attachment 372602 Attachment 372603 :animal-pa Thanks again ;) |
i have to say he looks like a yorkie to me. i dont know why someone would he is too big. 4 pounds @ 4 months old is tiny. my oscar was 4 pounds at 12 weeks and now at almost 1 year old he is only 7 1/2 pounds and he looks so tiny to me. |
He looks yorkie to me. People often think if its not tiny it can't be a yorkie and that is very much not true there are many many bigger yorkies. Yorkies were originally bigger then they are now. Mine is 16 pounds and I love it. Also please be careful walking him if he doesn't have all of his shots. |

Omgosh Bentley is soooooo cute!!! I love his little face:D He looks like a Yorkie to me. |
:thumbup:Looks Yorkie to me! Looks just like Oliver and he's all yorkie! |
People can be so ignorant. Our Ginger is almost 11 lbs. We had a neighbor that insisted she was a Silky because of her size. She said Ginger is too big to be a yorkie and that she is instead a silky. We ignored her. Yorkies can be as large as 25 lbs or so. In fact they used to be larger but through selective breeding they have become smaller. Don't let these morons get under your skin. Your baby looks like a yorkie to me. |
Everyone's an expert these days! Geez! I don't know what compels people to say things like that...what difference would it make either way and what do they hope to accomplish by being kind of rude like that? They should have just told you how precious Bentley was and kept it moving *sigh* Your Bentley sure looks like a charmer though! What a cutie! |
silkys and yorkies as babies are almost identical, only experience eyes can detect the differences. here's a link to my site explaining a bit about the yorkie, silky differences. Compare the silky to.... - Home of the Gorgeous Silky Terrier!! your baby is adorable, and silky or yorkie I know you will love him a lot.:D hugs, |

Bentley is up to date on all his shots. Trust me I wouldn't be walking him around if he wasn't. When I got him I was scared to take him outside, but our vet said as long as he is out where no other dogs walk ( Our back yard ) than he is okay. |
Thanks ladies! Either way I don't care. She just said that out of the blue, like it would hurt me or something? Ugh, I told her straight up that I wouldn't care if he was a Yorkie or Silky or both. I love him just as much :) |

He really does look like your Oliver! I just looked at your album! So cute! |
You will find that there are many people her with larger Yorkies. I think I read some where that it is difficult to tell the difference when they are puppies. You cannot tell the difference simply by the size since some people are breeding some very large Yorkies. It could be they have some Silky blood in them but no one could determine that just buy looking at a puppy. |

Alot of yorkies that are larger or going to be larger are called silkies by someone even mine so dont give it another thought |
