| Question About Yorkie Hair?! So I have seen two types of Hair/Fur on Yorkies, one with long silky hair, and one with Fluffy hair. So my question is, are these two types of hair due to genetic factors, or is it just simply the way the Yorkie is groomed? Thanks in advance! Last edited by Torguy; 11-12-2015 at 10:26 PM. |

| The coat type is a reflection of genetics in the line. As mentioned above it standard for a yorkie to have more of a silkier/hair like quality than the cottony/fluffy coat. As puppies, you can get a generalized idea of the coat quality by looking at the eye shine color from the flash from a photo. Green eye shine=silky Red eye shine=cottony
