BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 7, 2008 Still up so late ah? Not sleeping tonight?I still think most shih tzus have flat snout and ur donut don't have a flat snout. Probably a crossbreed As for Oreo, i think yorkies and silky terriers are most likely cousins. kekeke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
compassvale 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) some say silkies were crossed between yorkshire and australian terrier.that's why look similar to yorkies but much bigger boned.But i think there are lot of inbreeding between yorkies and silkies and there are cases where silkies are sold as yorkies esp when small,both look alike.some might be just very small midget silkies that end up looking like yorkies, even when adultbut u see the face, actually there is a subtle difference between an adult yorkie face and an adult silky face.yorkies got a more *guniang face - small pixie face* , silky got a more *masculine face-due to bigger boned nature*a layman way of explaining goes like this..."a yorkie, male or female, you will also think that it's a gal due to the *look*,a silky, male or female, you will also think it's a boy due to the *look*"just like how i used to feel my male yorkie (at my old place) looks like a gal,and JRTs look like guys no matter they are male/female....heheand of cos u see some variations between the 2, that's probably caused by the inbreeding ba.but due to the inbreeding, alot of non standard traits like curly hair, wooly coat and other problemsmay be passed down lor.read : silky terrier, but sometime the fur doesn't feel silky at all..not due to neglect,but rather inborn ->geneticsthat's why got show-quality dogs and pet quality dogs.show quality keeps the breed standards, alot of criterias, posture, coat, face shape...so on...but whether show quality or not, both kinds will be good pets Edited March 8, 2008 by compassvale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
