Twiklesmom, I can only speak from my experience and that of other Yorkie breeders..The eye flash does indeed apply. Many people who have a show potential puppy use the color of the eye flash to help determine coat texture. BUT, you cannot judge that til the uppy is older. And, another thing I have found is that the runt of the litter frequently has a different texture and amount of coat. My boy Jess, ws the runt and you can see in his pics that he had a wondeful coat. His eyes were also green.
As for the ears that have no hair, that is called alopecia and often accompanies the sparse, more wiry coat. That is not connected in any way to leather ear. The tan fringe does not usually seem affected and requires trimming...
You MUST use a sunscreen on the ears and nose or any other area that is not covered by a thick coat.. |
