| What makes their coats mat? My little guy is 4 1/2 months. His coat has never matted. And I only brush him when he gets a bath. Is there a difference in textures? His coat is very bushy and wild. He always looks like he just rolled out of bed. I see a lot of puppies that have the very glossy coat also. Mines more like a puffball. |

| Yes, there are different textures although for a show dog you need a silky coat. You are lucky that he doesn't mat...it sounds like he doesn't have a cotton coat. I am not sure what kind of coat he has if it is puffy. Anyone? |

| thanks I was just curious if it was because there are different types of coats. Plus I would guess the length has a lot to do with it. |

| I've a question. I took a few pic of my yorkie yesterday, he is 7 months old and his eyes are green in the pic. I remember reading posting previously, that the eyes' colour represent their hair texture (cottony or silky). So what is green? Thanks |
