What kind of dog do I have? Yorkie? Morkie? Silkie? ???? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bishop · 10-18-2008, 11:08 PM

Please check out my albums. I have pics of Bishop practically from birth to two years of age. I was told he is a morkie (maltese and yorkie mix) but I really don't think he is. What does he look like to you? I have never seen a morkie with ears that stand like Bishys do. Does anyone have adult pics of Morkies I could compare him to? He looks like a yorkie to me or maybe a silkie. I am really not sure. He has all the behavior characteristics of a yorkie but he seems to light in color to be one. Silkie...... I don't know. But he just turned two and I am starting to really wonder here. Either way I love him. He is my guardian angel. He literally saved my life. Not joking. I have seizures. One day he started whining and pawing and barking at me. I was having tremors and didn't know what they were. About a minute later I went into a full grand mal seizure. My dad said he aged 20 years watching it. But he never would have seen it if Bishop hadn't ran to get him. Dad said it took a few minutes to wake me up. How's that for a hero dog. I couldn't imagine being without him, but I would still like to know what kind of dog he is. Can you help?

Hi and welcome to YT! Bishop sure is a cutie and he looks all Yorkie to me! If the people you got him from bred him and they say hes a morkie then they should know, but maybe he just takes after his yorkie parent

Looking at a picture of him laying on his side I want to say WHO CARES!! Could anything be any cuter???

However, he looks like a yorkie to me....if it means enough to you, you know they offer doggie DNA tests that will tell you what every drop of blood in him is..

Welcome to YT!! I can't help but he sure is a very handsome dog!!!!

I agree...I think Bishy is pretty happy with being just who he is. Which, by the way, is totally adorable!

BLowry · 10-19-2008, 03:51 AM

I would say he is an ADORABLE yorkie!! However, maltese and yorkies have similar looks (except coloring). As for his coloring.....I have 2 yorkies girls...one is black and gold and the other is silver and tan. Yorkies don't have to be dark...I think he is sooooo cute!

Hi there! Welcome to YT!
I think that your little guy looks like a .................................................. .................................................. .......................YORKIE!!!!

.... he may have a small amount of another breed in him, but you definitely wouldn't think so by looking. I think that he is a cutie!!! ....Is he spoiled???.... How could you NOT spoil a face like that??

Diego · 10-19-2008, 04:23 AM

He is a cutie . The most important thing is that he is loved and cared for . He is precious .

Mitzis Mom · 10-19-2008, 05:14 AM

What a cutie! He looks all Yorkie to me...

xxmxaxrxyxx · 10-19-2008, 11:16 AM

welcome to YT...he looks all yorkie to me...and a very cute one at it too!

Ihave4Beauties · 10-19-2008, 11:26 AM

ok... some ppl may hate some who knows. I wanna be truthful... I have 3 yorkies & a silky... he looks a lil more like a silky to me. the big ears & longer snout is usually silky. Some ppl will sell them off as yorkies to make a bigger buck, & some are truthful... sometimes he could be a yorkie bc he may have a mom/dad as yorkie but maybe grandparents as silky, it really dopent matter at the end of the day, hes your dog & ur gonna love him no matter what!! Enjoy him hes a cutie!!!

Amanda7 · 10-19-2008, 11:54 AM

He looks like a full yorkie to me. He's adorable.

My little boy Cooper is a Morkie, he's almost 3 years old. I attached some pics since you wanted to see some adult Morkies. Every Morkie I have ever seen looks different.

MyPeanutAbbyGra · 10-19-2008, 12:04 PM

He looks all Yorkie to me, but I'm no expert. I've had people ask me if Daisy is a Silky and she's 100% Yorkie. She's much lighter than your Bishop.

He's gorgeous!!
