Giant Silkie Project.

My favourite silkie colour is silver partridge

She looks almost blue. Must be the grey/black underneath creating that illusion.

She's darker in real life, but I see what you mean, the lighting made her look blue.
Once I buy myself the UK SOP book, I'm gonna check if she's show quality, because she's very pretty, her earlobes are bright, and she's super fluffy!

My best examples of Chinese type silkies.

Floof: F2 Giant Silkie

Scaredy

SnuggleBug

Fluffy

Spazz

Poof fits in the size category with Chinese Silkie, but only difference is she's bearded.

I think she's lacking the head poof size.

What's the difference between a chinese silkie and UK, european or american silkies?
Pippin and Fries are larger and non-bearded, but Raven is tiny and bearded (well she's a bit ugly and her beard fell out but she used to have one)

Interesting. Thanks

Here are my silkies. What types do you think they are? Blue (the silver one) is the biggest, followed by the 2 white ones, and the black one (who used to have a beard but lost it) is very small

Chinese type are Largefowl, beardless, & comb type varies. The comb isn't always a walnut unlike what we want in the US, or UK. Other then that, there's not a ton different.

Sorry. I've hijacked your thread!

Hard telling for sure. I like using weight as away of size confirmation.

Floof is: 5.02lbs

Scaredy is: 4.57lbs

Poof is: 3.46lbs


A feisty personality(Both genders) is also seems common with the type from what I noticed.
