Identification of the Silky Terrier

The Silky Terrier is a small dog with a medium-length coat that lays flat and has a silky texture. Silkys average about 10 lbs in weight (most Silkys would be between 8 and 12 lbs). They average about 10 inches tall at the shoulders. Silky Terriers have dark eyes and erect ears, although some may have drop ears. Most Silkys have a docked tail. The Silky Terrier is an energetic dog with an alert expression.
The coat on the Silky Terrier's body can be any shade of gray (blue) from charcoal to light silver with various shadings of tan on the face, feet, backs of the ears, and under the tail. The Silky's body coat is not brown, but it may have some gold shadings. The Silky's coat is, as the name suggests, silky and in fact the texture is much like human hair.
Silky Terriers are often mistaken for Yorkshire Terriers and it can be somewhat difficult to distinguish between the two breeds, particularly if the dog in question resulted from casual breeding. Compared to a Yorkie, the Silky tends to be somewhat larger. The Silky has a longer muzzle than the Yorkie and the Silky's head is more wedge shaped than the Yorkie, which has a more "dome shaped" head.
The Silky's body is longer than the Yorkie's body. The Yorkie's body shape is more "square", in that the Yorkie's body is no longer than it is tall at shoulder giving a square appearance. The Silky's body is somewhat longer than it is tall at the shoulder. A healthy silky is well muscled and very sturdy for a dog of this size.
There are lots of sites that show pictures of the 2.
