I don't see anything that leans me towards a silky. If he's got Silky in him at all, it's back beyond three generations if I were to guess. Sorry you thought you had your little one pegged here, but I must give him credit for being a Yorkie! He's just not in proportion w/ the standard of a Yorkie, it happens TOO often, but they're Yorkies nonetheless.

I like his expression.

btw, his head piece is nothing of a Silky's head. Even a poorly bred one tends to have a different structure even than what your little guy has. I can procure photos for you if you'd like me to point out exactly what I'm seeing in your little guy and just why I'm saying he's not a Silky.

Hey thanks for your help and no offence taken

here are some more pics of rocky maybe you can give me a little more info cause you seem to know what you are talking about

daso · 10-04-2007, 06:57 PM

more....

daso · 10-04-2007, 06:59 PM

hes really tall and skinny with long legs and you may not tell that from the pick and when he sits his elbows kinds shift out like a bulldog

yorkieK9trainer · 10-04-2007, 08:35 PM

He just has "loose elbows", it may just be because of how his brisket is constructed though. No biggie.

I really don't think he's a Silky. Nor do I think he has any Silky closely in him either. He looks to me to just be what some might refer to as a "throw back". No, not throw away....a throw back in the lineage of type. Basically he looks like a Yorkie of old. Has anyone ever asked you if he's got Schnauzer crossed in w/ him? lol, someone over my shoulder just asked that and I answered quickly that he's a Yorkie.

The list, while technical is somewhat long. His muzzle has too much substance for a Silky's type....you know what, I really need to be able to point it out to you and I just can't. I'll go grab some pics if I can and come back here. Gimme a sec...........

YEssss i cant agree more. Seeing a silky in person is an eye opening experience. You can definitely see the difference. I saw the pics the OP has and he looks like a Yorkie to me as well.

He has such an adorable, intelligent face. VERY cute!!

YES, puppy mills, and ignorant people who care nothing for the breed do this unknowingly, just to pass them off as yorkies because they want to make money, no one is really familiar with Silky Terriers, I see this alot where I live.
