cotton or silky coat - breed standard does not mention anything about cotton
wirehaired - this is one I've never heard anywhere but on this forum and would question whether any yorkie with "wirehair" was a purebred.
red yorkie - again a colour description which doesn't appear anywhere except here.
Are any of these terms accepted by AKC or CKC?
As a yorkie owner for more than 25 years I find these terms confusing and can only imagine how a new yorkie owner would feel let alone someone looking for information before they purchase a yorkie.

A silky coat is what the standard is asking for . The standard ask for a dark steel blue coat ( not a silver blue ) .
Cottony , wooly and wirehaired are major faults , if showing .
Blue , red and chocolate are genetic's faults .
I admit that I was confused the first time that I was looking for a Yorkies .
