No Longer a Member | Your dog looks like a yorkie to me. It is hard for me to describe; maybe someone better acquainted with Silkies and the standard can, but my way of describing them is: Silkies are proportionally longer than they are tall. Your yorkie looks like he has pretty long legs. The silkies have more promininet snouts, and while some yorkies' snouts are longer than others, the silkies' snouts aren't just longer, but more large all around--if that makes sense. Their bodies are also more stocky/sturdy around while the yorkies are more slight. (That is my "layman's" definition of them) here's the akc page for silkies: http://www.akc.org/breeds/silky_terrier/index.cfm and the one for yorkies: http://www.akc.org/breeds/yorkshire_terrier/index.cfm hope this helps |

| Looks all yorkie to me, and a cute one at that. So many people don't know the difference between silkys and yorkies.

| pup The Australians bred their Aussies terrier with Yorkies to produce the breed of Silky Terrier..so there is Yorkie genes in a purebred Silky, but there is NO Silky genes in a purebred Yorkie..the English did not reverse the breed process and use Silkies with any of their terriers to develop a breed...certainly not the Yorkie. |

I meant to mention that he has very little hair on his legs and the part aroudn his nose and mouth is pretty dark...darker than the rest of his face. I've never seen any yorkies with that darker look around their muzzel... | |
