YT 500 Club Member | Full coat How long does it take for Yorkies to get a full coat? I got my maltese at 5 month and his hair was very long. My yorkie hair is nowhere near that length at six months. So I was just wondering |

| It really depends on his bloodlines and his coat type. True silk coats are usually thin and slow growing. Do you have some pictures of your yorkie?

| Laddy's takes forever, Kyra's was to the floor at a year old, so like BJH said depends on the coat.

| Lola has a silk coat and her hair was a few inches shy of the floor at 8 months. I posted a picture. I think she's 5-6 lbs in that picture, she's barely 7lbs now at 1.5 years. She had a white spot on her chest as a puppy and that's supposed to mean the dog will be a good coat grower, and Lola defiantly is. |

| She is a cutie. It looks like she has plenty of coat for her age. It is hard to judge the texture from the picture. Do you know what color her eye shine is when you take a picture with a flash?

| It takes a long time to grow out. But it also depends on the pup. I'm anxious to see what Lilys coat is like too!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Also to state the obvious a taller YOrkie is going to take his coat longer to reach the floor. And pure silk does grow slower.

| I was thinking the same thing about height. As you know, my boys are taller, so growing the saddle to the floor took longer.

| This is an example of a silky coated yorkie with green eye shine. This is not my yorkie but she is a champion and an excellent representative of the breed. I have found that the eye shine works well in determining the type of coat. green and blueish green usually mean silky coats. Gold shine is usually a modified silk and red or orange shine usually means cottony coat. It is not 100% accurate but it has always worked for me.

| Kyra has red shine to her eyes but her coat doesn't tangle to bad, just under the armpits mostly. Laddy the green shine and never tangles. I thought Kyra a cotton coat because of her eye shine but a breeder here told me she looks silky. All a bit confusing to me. This was her at a year old.
