Hello,
Well I am sooo not the one to give advice on coat care, I am learning as I go. I have a good mentor and hope to learn more in the coming months. I believe most show yorkies are kept in oil while they are young and then as the coat get longer it stays wrapped. Stryker's coat is a little more than half way to the floor and if he shakes after wrapping (and he always shakes after wrapping) they fly off everywhere. LOL However the longer parts of the coats stay wrapped longer, so I assume that as the coat length increases the easier it will be to keep them on. Right now we are practice wrapping...getting him use to getting worked on and I'm learning to wrap faster. I do this as often as I can usually after bath time. So we are both learning. Hopefully some other REAL show veterans will jump on this thread and help you out. This jacket is soooo very cute. It has his name on the back of the collar...just love it. Kristena Bravo, I got it from her. She posted on this thread if you want a jacket. Good luck!
