**KELLEY** asked in PetsDogs · 1 decade ago

What kind of Terrier dog is this?

This is SPYRo and we rescued him from some awful owners. After defleaing him, shots and a good grooming, this is what he looks like. I was told by the people he is a yorkshire terrier, but think he looks more like a silky terrier....What do you think?

He is about 10lbs and 1.5 yrs old(smaller than my cocker spaniels). Thank You

    To me he looks like a Silky, they're slightly larger than Yorkies, and they have a longer nose like your dog does. Alot of people mix them up, which is easy to do. He is beautiful, though, no matter what kind he is. You did a good thing by saving him from neglectful, irresponsible owners.

    Yes there are. Or, "types" if you will. Jack Russell Terrier- 10-15 inches. JRTCA registered. Long legged. The true, original type. Parson Russell Terrier- 12-15 inches. PRTAA registered. Long legged. AKC recognized this breed not long ago, just a few years. Russell Terrier- Don't know the standard height. 10-12 inches MAYBE? Dunno what it's registered with. They're short legged. Your dog is either a mix, or a badly bred Jack.

    He looks to be a Yorkie/Schnauzer. The coat hair is smooth like a Schnauzer with the silky smoothness and the face and little bit of a beard. also a yorkie with the 2 toned color of the tan face, belly and legs, but the silver on the back.

    Source(s): I work at a vet's office and I see a lot of dogs and I have to decide what kind of a mix it is!! lol, sometimes they are pretty hard!
