| need help with choosing pup's coat Is there a way to choose the puppy's coat when they are 8 weeks old or younger? My yorkie now, has a cotton coat and I'm wanting a silky one with my next dog. But how do you tell? Or can you? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Kim |

| I would look at the parents coats. The cotton coat is thicker but it would be harder for me to tell on a puppy. I am sure breeders can tell though.

| I agree......look and see what the parents have or ask the breeder. If you want a silky coat, get a puppy from parents who both have silky coats. Good luck! |
