[Jaya and Jenna]

Hey CaliforniaDoll

.............um.......

I was referring to thickness of the coat.. not coat texture...

Jaya had a very thick coat as a puppy, and after she lost her puppycoat, the adult hair came in much thinner. She has a cotton coat that looks silky because its thin.

Jenna on the other hand had thin almost greasy hair as a puppy, and she has just lost her puppycoat, and her adult hair is super super thick and gorgeous. She has a true silk coat, and that is why her coloring looks so good.

Silk coats are much easier to groom... and they stay fresh looking longer between baths!

I had heard (I have no idea where from!), but that those puppies who have thick full hair as puppies, have thinner hair as adults, and those that have thinner hair as puppies, have rich lustrous hair as adults because it comes in fully. I have no idea if this is true or not..... but I have noticed this trend with my two girls (THOUGH! Jaya's hair could have thinned out because she got very sick as a puppy and could have just lost her hair then...).


In regards to size..... talk to your breeder... you want a small dog - so take a look at the parents, and if their size satisfies you, then the puppies should be similar in size. From my experience though, I would not get a puppy that would be estimated to be less than 4-5 lbs... and because you are also getting a bulldog, I would actually look to getting a yorkie that is more on the larger size (if you can classify 7-9 lbs as large though...lol)....

I don't know much about the bulldog... but have you researched into whether or not yorkies and bulldogs have personalities that flow well together?

Anyways, good luck! Hope that i've helped!
