What Breed Is My Yorkie Mixed With? 3 Attachment(s) I have a lovable little gal named Tina who is 8 months. Yesterday, I was told by a vendor that she is a Silky Terrier. I have known since I got her that she is a bit long and slightly tall to be a yorkie. My question is, what is she mixed with? It's hard for me to compare her with a million other Yorkie's/Silky dogs in google. btw, he shoulder to tail length is 11 inches.. and her height (from shoulder to feet is 9 inches Any Comments or Feedback will be greatly appreciated! |
I couldn't tell you if she is a mix. I can say she is so adorable. |
she looks all yorkie to me!! yorkies can come in all shapes and sizes. she is just such a cutie!!! |
Looks like a Yorkie...but one member said the vet did DNA and it was about $60...interesting to find out all the breeds it was mixed with....but it looked mixed... |
She looks all Yorkie to me. Size means nothing when trying to determine if a dog is a Silky or a Yorkie. Just like people come in a range of sizes, so do purebred dogs. There are Yorkies that are smaller than average, and also larger than the 7 lbs in the breed standard. The standard just sets out the traits of the ideal Yorkie, but no Yorkie will meet the standard perfectly, some will be much closer to the standard than others. The stipulation of "7 lbs and under" wouldn't be necessary if they were all under 7 lbs. Just like any other part of the written standard (coloring, temperament, proportions, etc.), there will be Yorkies that don't meet the weight standard and be larger than 7 lbs. |
Looks more Yorkie to me, too. I guess could be half Yorkie and half Silky as I recall Silkies seem to have proportionately larger ears but this baby of yours is absolutely adorable. I LOVE the ears in the center picture. Tina is a cutie! Such a sweet little face. |
Tina looks all Yorkie to me too(she favors Jack too). She is such a cutie. I love her shirt in picture #3 |

This pup is all yorkie. |
I agree that yorkies come in all sizes.....and so do silkies! I currently have a 8 month silky - purebred from nationally ranked sire/dam - that is only 4 1/2 pounds. My silkies are all tri-colored......with the topnot area being the third color - lighter than the muzzle. (And yes, silkies tend to me more rectangle and yorkies more square.....but like size, that can vary also). I too would agree that your pup looks more yorkie! |

I have had a couple of people see my Riley and say... awwww he is a Silky. Meaning he has a silky coat..... She is Adorable!! :) |
Looks like a full Yorkie to me. |
Looks all Yorkie to me. |
omg, that face of her's is to die for. She is darling. Looks like a little yorkie pup to me. So many people can make comments on our precious yorkie's. Mostly they are untrue. When you got her, was the breeder telling you she was 100% yorkie? I think she is a cutie no matter what. |
Oh she is a little doll. She looks like a Yorkie to me. She's a sweetheart. :thumbup: |
She looks like a sweet adorable precious little Yorkie girl to me:D |
I agree, looks like a Yorkie to me!:D |
She looks all yorkie to me :) Rizzo is 11 inches from neck to tail, but he's also 11 inches tall, he's tall and lanky, lol. But all yorkie! |
I am in agreement with all who have surmised sweet Tina to be a Yorkie. I'd also like to add that Yorkie's come in all different sizes & heights...which I think lends doubt to some people who do not know the breed. Enjoy your lil' darling :aimeeyork-girl! |
I agree....she looks like a full blooded Yorkie to me ! |
What a cutie!! I love the first picture!! I vote all yorkie! |
Welcome to YT. Tina is adorable! Has her coat been cut or is it naturally short? It's difficult to say if she is all Yorkie or not without the DNA testing, but in my own personal opinion, when they have short hair that doesn't grow, I'd suspect another breed was mixed in. |
Thank You all for the compliments. It just through me off a bit when some stranger questions your dog's background. I am content now that she is a Yorkie and continue to love her regardless. Thanks again folks |
She reguraly groomed every 4 weeks or so. But if she doesn't, it tends to grow out pretty long. |
She is 100% ADORABLE!!! That's all I see. |
My six month old Keno is tall and long too. He is all Yorkie, and yours looks all Yorkie to me. A real little doll Yorkie. Since getting Keno, I have seen all different sizes and shapes of Yorkie's. |
Oh I just want to kiss her sweet face especially the first picture!! I say Yorkie all the way! |
exact same measurements as my Tikka, who I'm also starting to question if she's Silk or Yorkie lol! |
Aww look at that first picture!! What a cute face!! She looks like a yorkie to me! Yorkies come in all size and shape! My little girl is slightly long and tall too for her size! |
yorkie mix is mine but I love them anyway I think you have a beautiful all yorkie, my fur babies are mixed and are going to be larger that a yorkie yet larger that their mother |
