| Confused... I know that this has been posted before but..... Today when I was with my baby Biscuit at Petsmart making an appointment for a bath and anal excretion, the lady asked what breed he was and when I said a yorkie she looked at him and said "No, he seems more like a silky" He is 7 pounds and 6 months.I was a little PO'd that she was trying to tell ME what MY dog was like I didn't know.He is a yorkie isn't he?Did she know what she was talking about? I thought yorkies could be a little bigger and not be a silky......It's not like he's 12 lbs or something! Thanks in advance for any input! |

| As you have seen, you will come across people who don't know squat. They just like to pretend they do. Ignore them and move on in life.

| I agree, ignore them. Loki is 8 pounds, tall, skinny and long. He also has adorable floppy ears. People ask what kind of "mix" he is because he is "simply too big to be a Yorkie" I just look and them and say, "Oh yeah, 8 pounds is huge" sarcastically and they stop. Or I say "Don't say that in front of him, you'll hurt his feelings" or "It doesn't matter, he thinks he is a person anyway."

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I would just ignore people like that...Sailor is 7lbs and she gets questioned at times whether or not she is a full yorkie!! I just tell them she is and move on...

| I can see why people are confused. Large Yorkies do look a lot like Silkies and small Silkies remind me of Yorkies. Remember Silkies are a Yorkie mix. I ran in to a guy with a large Yorkie and a small Silky while on a walk the other day. I thought they were both Yorkies. The only difference was the Silkies head was large, with longer snout. But then I see Yorkies on here all the time that look like him. oh well. http://search.msn.com/images/results...ppy&FORM=QBIN3 this link shows Silky pups |

| That would piss me off, too. It isn't the fact that she mistook your Yorkie for a Silky-that is understandable. It is the fact that she tried to say that you were wrong! You're right... It's your dog! You should know!
