Coco does not look like a Silky at all. Not to mention the cottony coat. Size is not an indicator of breed.

Her legs don't look stocky and her muzzle doesn't appear (to me) to be long enough, slanted enough, nor triangular enough to be a Silky either. She looks like a big Yorkie to me.

Exactly what I was going to say. Silkys and yorkies actually look quite different if they are well bred. But the head shape is the most distinctive feature to me.

I always wonder why so many people ask if yorkies are silkys, esp since silkys aren't even that popular. Yorkies are much more popular. I've never even seen a silky in person before.

My daughter has a silky, and where there are a lot of traits that resemble a yorkie he honestly has a different look. Yours looks all yorkie to me.

She still is uneducated about yorkie's and silky's

11 lbs is large but by no means huge for a yorkie. I think I'd trust your AKC registration over your groomer.

Thank you, she was in play mode and not making it easy for me to snap a picture of her.

She's definitely a yorkie, and a beautiful one at that. Such a happy girl

Oh wow idk what made her say that! Your baby looks like a yorkie to me!

Definitely all yorkie! I get that a lot with Mr. Bucket since he is a 12lb Yorkie. People just assume if they aren't tiny they are silky. Anyways yorkie or silky you will love them the same

Probably since Wikipedia says yorkies max out at 7 lbs. I know before I found this site and really learned about the history of the yorkshire terrier breed I always wondered if Minnie was really full yorkie at 11-12 lbs.
