Okay is my furbaby a silky terrier? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I concur. I looked at his dogster pictures, and he looks all yorkie to me.

He's body is a little longer that than I guess it should be. He weighs four pounds, has very light color hair(that I never have to brush!) He is although a AKC full registered Yorkshire. So am I just being touchy? I'll post some pics soon!

It isn't unusual to have a yOrkie pup that is a bit longer body, shorter leg than he should be for a Yorkie and go light early. He will likely go very light if he is lightening up now.
He is not something you would use to breed. He would make a lovely pet however.

He's definitely a yorkie. Don't worry!...and don't listen to people who aren't yorkie experts. They don't know anything!

He's definitely a yorkie. Some people don't know what the heck they are talking about!

rox626 · 06-09-2007, 09:33 AM

From looking at Dogster, I'd have to say, he's a yorkie too. I get asked that all the time and my yorkie is only three pounds. Some people just don't know very much about different breeds.

Txgurl06 · 06-09-2007, 09:49 AM

the first time i took skoshi to petsmart everyone was like aww loook at the yorkie. and then some older women comes up and says he is sooo cute is he a silky terrier i said no a yorkshire and she stood there and stared at me and him and then said oh and walked off.

i got scared too lol and came on here and searched it. im still not sure if he is or not lol he is registered at yorkshire. But i think silkies have a more muscular body right like bigger width wise, My yorkie is skinny and small lol im not sure where his pds are on him lol!

ohh and some other women told me he didnt look like a usual yorkie but she was nice and i explained they can be big,small and that colors can be different. she wanted one so bad lol. so i just schooled her on them.

jackandjill · 06-09-2007, 01:50 PM

My Jack is almost 3 now, and I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has said, he doesn't look like a Yorkie. He has wavy hair, is 10 pounds and I keep the hair long on his ears. I have met his parents and grandparents and they are all registered Yorkies. Most of the people that question his breed are the ones that have only been in contact with the tiny ones.
Jack is ALL YORKIE, temprement and all and the love of my life.

If I only had a quarter for everyone of these qualified people who tell me about my dogs....I could afford to buy one of those REAL yorkies

I love this post...could NOT have said it better myself :sidesplit:

chachi · 06-09-2007, 02:48 PM

He looks like a yorkie to me

tammy8833 · 06-09-2007, 06:01 PM

he looks all yorkie to me too
i think silkies have longer muzzels and dont they have a higher set forehead?? shorter legs, blah blah blah..lol

now i saw a silkie one day that was 4-5lbs i guess she was bred down i guess you can get smaller sizes with them too..she was really pretty looked like a yorkie to me and her hair felt like soft silky feathers

Good luck...Take care of your YORKIE!!!

jloprincess · 06-13-2007, 08:45 AM

RIGHT ON, girl! I am SO laughing at this because it's been a regular occurence throughout Ozzie's life.

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 06-13-2007, 10:52 AM

I would say he is defintely a yorkie...I have a Silky (Captain) and he is 11lbs and has a very distinct nose that is longer than our yorkies. You can defintely tell a difference and I would say your little boy is all yorkie!! Don't let what others say make you question...

Here is a picture of Captain at 4 months...he is now 9 months old!!

izzy816 · 06-13-2007, 11:01 AM

Looks like a yorkie to me....He's adorable too!!

Like everyone else said, some people think they know what type of dog you have better than YOU do. Someone just this past weekend said Izzy was a Silky Terrier. We were at an art fair and they were walking behind me whispering about it...LOL....I think they wanted to ask me, but I didn't even acknowledge them...it was pretty funny.
