Many times, yorkies with thin hair will end up being silky. I'm no expert but repeating what I've read and what I've experienced.

When Cooper was smaller, I kept trimming his hair as it would grow because if felt like yucky baby hair. After that baby hair was cut out, it was silky as can be. Its growing as slow as molasses though. I'll be patient and reap the benefits later! We're going through the ugly teenage stage but looking forward to all the years of maturity!
