The purpose of oiling is to protect the coat from breaking. The draw back is having to bathe more often as oil does attract dirt. The secret to growing coat is feeding quality food and keeping the coat clean (bathing every 4 days for a show dog). Keeping them off of carpet, grass, anything that can break coat. Only allowing them on coat gentle fabrics, such as satin. And then of course when the coat does get longer, wrapping is very beneficial.
Coat color & texture is based on genetics......
I used Pure Paws at one time too, but now have changed to Plush Puppy products. Pure Paws did not fare well on my dogs skin, however, I know that it has worked very well for others.
If you can access the YTCA.org website...you can read alot more about the yorkie.
How old are your new dogs?
