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.
