| Your welcome! Are you thinking about getting a silky or a yorkie/silky mix?

| i dont know a WHOLE lot but... i know that silkies generally get to be around 10lbs - sometimes 12 and yorkies are typically between 4-7lbs so it isnt alot bigger they look VERY similar... someone i work with has a silky and it looks very similar... a lil greyer and 11lbs but not alot diffent plus you dont know which gene will be dominant so it may look all yorkie esp since the diffences are slight good luck hope this helps |

| I hope you get this precious little angel! She really is a DOLL!!!!!! I would look at both parents first. That is usually a good indication of how she'll turn out. Keep us updated! |
