| Yorkshire and/or Silky Terriers? HELLO EVERYBODY! I have been wanting a small dog for about 5 years now doing a lot of research on different breeds, I would love to have a Yorkie in my life. I am noticing that some of the terriers have a longer snout and look like Silkies and the ones with a short snout are the Yorkshires? I like the "smooshy" faces. Does anyone else see a difference or is it just me? Should I make sure the puppy is an Akc Yorkshire Terrier puppy so I know, she will not be mixed with a Silky? Also any tips on choosing a puppy from the litter? Thank You |

| Yes, since you went through 5 years of research, I say, go the extra mile and get a Registered Yorkshire Terrier. You never know. Breeders have to show the papers, no matter how reputable they seem. GOOD LUCK! |

| There is a BIG difference between the two breeds. Not just in temperment, but also in coat and structure. I posted up on another thread not all that long ago if you search for it regarding this very thing. I'm going to bed now...waaaaaay past due on that. More tomorrow- *er* today? ha ha |

| Yorkies can get big, the dark coloring would lead me to believe he's a Yorkie!!!

| AKC papers while they should verify a dogs pureness towards it's lineage, that's unfortunantely not always the case. Those documents can be fudged. Just be careful who you shop from. I would highly recommend either you get breeder suggestions from someone here on YT OR go to the AKC's website and get breeder referrals there. A good rule of thumb for me is to no purchase from a breeder that breeds BOTH Silky's and Yorkies within the same kennel UNLESS they show those dogs actively. Because accidental matings can/have happened and those that are more unethical have little issue w/ registering the litter to have parents of the same breed to cover it up. Why even play around w/ that when you know clearly what you're shopping for? Never knew shopping for a puppy would be so difficult? Best of luck to you and yours and when you do find what you're looking for, please be sure to come back and let us know.....pics are always great too! |
