| Before this site, I never knew that... There were different types of yorkie hair...cottony and silky. Is it possible to tell the difference when they are very young? 8-10 weeks or so? It was also really interesting to learn that their eye color, when taking a photo, can indicate whether they will be one type or the other. I have looked at so many of the beautiful yorkies on this site and noticed that some have a more 'delicate' look around the face...when the hair looks like tendrils. Are these all silky coats? I would love to see one of each type, side-by-side to compare. Do those with a seemingly larger head/face have the cottony hair? I have been taking photos of Betty for the last few days, trying to see what color her eyes shined...and couldn't get a good result. However, by looking at her, I felt like I had a little cotton baby! But, I never had a problem with her hair matting at all. Last night, while taking her picture, I got a little hint of red! Hahaha. I thought so! |

| I never knew that myself either until I found this site. I love all of the coats especially the ones with poofy, teddy-bear like hair (I believe they are cottony coats)....... My boy is a silky coat.........very fine, thin, yet glossy and never matts. Now, if only we could have the best of all the coat types He is still a pup but this might give you an idea of a silky coat

| hehe, jessy, I looked it up in the search and that is what I found too yes, your boy, he is so pretty. i LOVE the coloring on his head. I am thinking maybe maggie will have that coloring. she is very VERY light on her legs and belly and the hair on her head is showing some blonde through the silver and black. I know she will be beautiful no matter what...but you know, you can't help but be curious as to how they will turn out I have to say, I am shocked to hear that maggie would have silky coat. i guess maybe i am not fully aware of the differences but her hair seems very cottony to me. it matts really easily, very hard to brush, and seems so coarse. but it is still puppy hair. actually, the hair on her legs was cut short and the hair growing in there does seem kinda silky. i am just shoked and curious.

| Hannah's coat has always been frizzy, but I think that is her puppy coat because the hair growing in is silky. Her eyes flash green too. Here is a pic of her. |
