Can U Tell Me Are They Silky, Cotton or Wirey?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TeddyandTiffy · 07-19-2006, 06:49 AM

I posted this Post on the General forum and haven't gotten any replies yet...Okay, I've posted photo of all my babies on dogster.com and I would like U all go look @ all my dolls! I'm so very proud of every single one of them! But my question is...Does Teddy have a wirey or curly coat? And doesn't Tiffanie have a Silky coat? Or have I got them messed up? I think if Teddy's coat was to grow long to the floor it would be wavy and I think if Tiffanie's grew to the floor it would be straight. It does take Tiffanie's coat longer to grow then Teddy's...His is grown back out in about a month...I just trimmed him last month and I haven't trimmed Tiffanies since April...(Did her ears & bottom & feet) The reason I'm asking is I've heard people who see them both say oh their coat is curly, wavy or silky and I just would like to know what it is....Can U tell me what U all think? Oh & go look @ the babies too there! They are so sweet and cute...If U have time go read the notes I've added for them each! I love them all! I will be hard to see them leave if I ever do sell them! LOL! I haven't even tried to yet and they will be 11 weeks Thur. Isn't that bad??? Hugs, Lee

It's hard to tell at that age. What are the parents' coats like?

You're probaly not getting replies because no one fknows the answer.

I don't mean the babies...I would like to know what Their parents are: Teddy & Tiffanie. Maybe that is why everyone is thinking the puppies not the parents! Thanks so much, I never even thought about it! Hugs, Lee

LOL ! I have some advise - Don't worry about it ! We all seem to stress over the hair type - and really it's for nothing - their hair is their hair - we just have to try to keep it in the best shape we can and accept it.....

The Dogster pages are cute !! We sent you Rosettes AND a pup pal request - your dolls have 3 new friends...

Thank U so very much, I would just like to know so I know what kind of shamppo and conditioner to buy. I did read on the grooming section about what ones everyone likes for different coats...I think with reading through here and on the threads that Teddys is cotton/Wirey??? Not sure which one yet but I know it's one of them and Tiffy I know is Silky...Her's is straight as a board and it weighs down & looks real greasy if I use to much conditioner on it. Teddys on the other hand looks so dry...So I'm trying to get it shaped up. I keep Teddys short and I'm trying to let Tiffanies grow out. Thanks so very much for U're thoughts. I'm going to be buying some new shampoos and conditioners for them. Thanks so much! I'm glad U like the pups pages...It took me a while to get them made up and thanks for the rosettes and I'll get my email checked so they all can be friends. Hugs, Lee

I am also unsure about this too, my Coco hair is really thick and shinny. What are the differences in the coats?

MyTrixie143 · 07-24-2006, 12:19 AM

I would say Tiffanie has a silky coat and Teddy has a cotton or soft coat. It is kinda hard to tell from the pictures, do you have any close ups of them? Sorry my eyes are not that good. Anyways that is what it looks like to me.

TeddyandTiffy · 07-25-2006, 03:50 PM

Thanks for U're thoughts, I think Tiffanie is a SILKY and Teddy well either Wooley, Cotton or Wirey! LOL! Not sure but he has a body full! LOL! And it grows so very very fast to where Tiffanies is so slow to grow! LOL!
Thanks So Very Much & Hugs, Lee & Babies

If he had a wirey coat you would be able to tell. The best way to describe a wiry coat is that it is stiff and is not soft at all. Westies have wiry coats. A cotton coat feels soft to touch and a silk coat feels cool to the touch and feels just like silk.
