| Difficult to say from just a photo. One of the exhibitors once explained here how to tell the difference by comparing to the thread that is used for needlepoint. If your are familiar with the thread, there is a silk version and a cotton version. Yorkie coats feel very similar.

| Is your yorkie a puppy? The coat doesn't necessarily look "cottony" to me, but then again, sometimes they don't look like cotton but certainly feel like it.

| It's too early to tell. Bella looked like this when she was a puppy, but after her first grooming at 6 months, her hair became silky and silvery. Bella's first grooming, before and after photos, are at the bottom of the first page of this thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...-grooming.html Last edited by pstinard; 07-02-2014 at 04:26 AM. |

| Well having a girl with a serious cottony coat I will say her puppy coat looked very much like that. When I let it grow at first she looked like a wooly mammoth so now she has the modified schnauzer cut(aka the Joey).

| My Bella gets the Joey cut too, even though she has a silky coat. That's a good haircut for all situations . |

| Cotton coats are the most difficult to brush/comb out. They are always in a mat. The coat is generally dull looking, not so shiny. They are not cool to the touch as the silky type coat. I have two cotton coated girls and both have the pink eye shine. Generally the silky coated Yorkies have the green eye shine.
