A couple of days ago I posted an image of a gorgeous Yorkshire Terrier [click here to see that post].  Some might think that the dog in today’s post is the same breed with a different hairdo, but in fact, this is a Silky Terrier, not a Yorkie.  The Silky Terrier is larger than the Yorkie and is more closely related to an Australian Terrier.  The Silky originated in Australia when Yorkies from England were bred with Australian Terriers to improve coat color in the Australian Terriers.  I’ll see if I can find a nice Aussie photo to post tomorrow so you can compare all 3 breeds!
