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.
On the other hand, Yorkies have a longer coat that often drags down on the floor. â¢ There are differences in the head color of the two breeds too. The head of a Silky Terrier is deep tan while the head of Yorkie is lighter in shade. â¢ As far as the size is concerned, Silky is a bit heavier than Yorkie. A Yorkie must not exceed 7 pounds in weight. On the other hand, Silky Terriers are between 8 and 12 pounds in weight.
