toby has a thicker more "cottony" coat .... and wow what a difference..... i took care of a yorkie who had teh silky coat and i had to brush her at least twice a day,....... but i have had toby for almost two months now and i have only brushed him once or twice (he really didnt need it, i was just bored and had nothing to do) .......... i think there are several different coats that a yorkie can have, but as it is genetics it is very difficult to understand (for me anyways) there is already a thread on this with LOTS of info if you click search and type yorkie coat |
