PS...as to show Yorkies..true, the coat is a hinderance while being shown and must be cared for with great attention..but the spirit of the Yorkie must be there..all terrier, full of itself, ready to attack a mouse or rat..

Once it is finished in the ring, it can be clipped to a shorter more managable coat if need be...but you can keep a Yorkie in full coat and it will not stop it from doing what it wants..just takes more work to keep them groomed and clean.
