Silkie or Yorkie What is the difference between yorkies and silkies? |
the coat i believe cotton or silky. |
They are two different breeds. Silkies are usually larger and have longer snouts. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along and tell you more. |
oh see now i learned something. so i guess my lola is not a silky as her coat is different from cedric she does have a longer snout but shes teeny. |

Carmen in NJ has both. She would be a great person to ask :) |
Silky's can be smaller also. They do resemble yorkies a lot but have longer snouts and a different ear set. Also they are longer than they are tall usually unlike the yorkie that is more square in body. |
Silky Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier and Australian Terriers are all very closely related. More information on a Silky Terrier: http://www.silkyterrierclubofamerica.org |
Silky Terriers are a breed that was the result of the yorkshire terrier and the Australian terrier. they are obolong , which means they are longer than they are taller. their paws are very Cat like, small and delicate. their ears are high set in the head, erected ears , the coat is thinner and shorter than the Yorkshire, we trim it to the top of the feet.. :D is a lot more information on my site.. hugs, |
A sliky does not always have to be larger. Sadie is only 6 pounds and she is a purebred Silky. |
Very true, I think my new stud is going to be in the smaller size of the silky but the IDEAL show dog would be at least 9 pounds.. hugs, |
Either way, Yorkie or Silky they are both beautiful : ) |

Altho my Abby is AKC registered yorkie, I know that she is somehow not. I saw the parents and the full litter and as Abby grows and Carmen posts Silky Terrier traits(Thank you!) I can see that her sire had some Silky and Abby inherited a lot of it. The small catlike feet really hit home for me today! She is a sweet dog with way less yorkie attitude! |
