what is the difference between a yorkie and a silky terrier
Take a look at the two different headpieces: Yorkie head: Silky Head: Silkys tend to be a larger dog than the Yorkie â Yorkies up to 7 lbs and Silkys roughly 8 to 12 lbs. Silkys have a longer muzzle and a longer back. Both breeds can have a distinctly terrier temperaments and can take over their owners households â so both breeds require owners who can be very kind, but very firm. But there is one difference between the two breeds that is perhaps the most helpful to the casual passerby. Yorkies are the second most popular breed in the US, according to the AKC. Silkys rank 75th. So if you see a small silver-coated dog walking down the street, chances are â itâs a Yorkie.
