A domino effect or chain reaction is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events.
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 itâs a Yorkie.
Yorkies are easy to train, although they can sometimes be stubborn if owners do not give the dog proper boundaries. They can be difficult to housebreak. The Yorkie is an excellent watchdog. When owners display pack leadership to the Yorkshire Terrier, it is very sweet and loving and can be trusted with children. The problems only arise when owners, because of the dogâs cute little size, allow it to take over the house.
