I will disagree with this statement as being the general rule.
We have had 2 dark yorkies,
both with very thick hair.
Their hair has not only been soft as velvet, but also silky too.
Easy to comb any tangles out, when we get them.
I like to keep their hair on the longer side, since I believe one of the traits to celebrate about this breed is their beautiful hair.
There is definitely a commitment to grooming when you sign on for a yorkie.
Would not describe our dark yorkies hair as the least bit wooly.
I have seen the textures of the hair go either way, lighter or darker.
I never set out for darker yorkies,
it just turned out that that is what we ended up with.
