They are related to the Yorkie and are hard to tell apart at times. They are usually bigger than the yorkie and get to the 8-10 pound range. They are not as prone to some of the health issues as the small bred yorkies,but I would suggest researching the breed on the web. Thanks and feel free to call with questions.
My daughter has one of these dogs. He actually minds better than she does. The silky does not shed like most dogs and if you research the breed on the web this is one of the positives of the silky and yorkie breed. The one my daughter has wants to be with you all the time. He wants to be piled up in your lap or beside you at all times. He has been real good with small children and tends to now if something is going on outside of the house. I've never seen no ankle biting so far.
