| I personally like yorkie's better than silkies. Of course, I only own yorkies so I'm probably a little partial. I just don't think you can beat their looks or tempermant Of course I have seen some silkies that look like yorkies and vice versa. I think you just have to decide what you are looking for and go with that. You can get a yorkie up to 7 pounds and still be within the standard, but if you were looking for a bigger dog and wanted to show it, you might be better off with a silkie. If you don't plan to show than whether or not you get one that's within the standard is entirely up to you. As to their coats, the only expierence I've had with them is the one a friend of mine had and it's coat is quote short. Just a little below its belly and won't grow any longer than that... Let us know what you decide |

* No. Many yorkie breeder?s claim to have ?teacup? Yorkie?s and justify charging more for such claims on their puppies. The Yorkie standard gives no preference for smaller dogs within the 7 pound weight limit. Extra care should be given to the more tiny Yorkies as some are more susceptible to hypoglycemia, physical injuries due to falls, etc. The Yorkshire Terrier standard as defined by the American Kennel Club (AKC) is between 4 to 7 pounds. * The desired size of the Yorkie is a personal choice. Families with small children might try to find a larger Yorkie, where as other?s might be in search for the so called ?purse baby?. Smaller Yorkies may be more susceptible to disease and injuries due to their size. Also, many vets will charge more for working on smaller Yorkies because it is more difficult (and dangerous) because of the smaller size. * There is no such breed! The Yorkshire Terrier breed standard classifies Yorkies as up to 7 pounds. They may weigh from 4 to 7 pounds. If a breeder or pet store is selling a "teacup" or "mini", run away! They may be shady and misrepresenting the Yorkie. The tiny ones may be sold too early, perhaps just so they can call them "teacups" or a "mini". If you are set on a smaller Yorkie, ask your breeder when their next litter will be. There will be some "smaller" Yorkies in the litter from which to choose from. Most consider a respected breeder to be one that is AKC registered. While that does not always determine that they are to be trusted 100%, there are standards and qualifications that AKC registered breeders must pass. * There are small, full-grown Yorkies that may only weigh 2 pounds. But, it is very rare for Yorkies to be that small. If you have a Yorkie that is on the small side of the scale, you must be very careful with them, as they are definitely more "fragile" than standard sized ones and you must take extra precautions with them, such as making sure they don't fall from a high place or that they don't jump off of places. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/ima...er_offline.gif http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/ima...ons/report.gif | |
