The show standard for a Yorkie coat is long and silky, but Yorkies are born with many different types of coats, some of which are not "to the standard". My Yorkies all have fairly good coats, but one has a cottony coat which is prone to tangling if not kept fairly short. My sister's Yorkie has the Yorkie standard coat and is easier to keep tangle-free, however, he is too large for the Yorkie show standard. But they are to pet standard which is healthy and loveable. |
