She's shaved 2 a year, in the summer, and in the winter, when its time for her shaving she needs to be brushed, but she doesn't matt, just her coat is more beautiful if she's brushed, she has a silky coat 
Mardelin, would you reccomand anyone having theyr yorkie with long coat?
Have you had a yorkie with long cotton coat, and how was it? was it very much work or what ?
Im willing to give my yorkie boy all the brushing and combing he needs to be with beautiful long coat. |
Recommending a long coat, I don't think that's up to me. It's entirely dependent on the person, their desire and patience to keep it up. There's nothing like a correct coated yorkie in long coat.
Yes, I have had a long soft coated yorkie. When it was just her it was fine....but, once I began showing, it became difficult to keep her up and cultivate a coat on a show dog.....
Let me put it this way, while I love a dog in long coat, especially the correct silk and color, the minute I get that Championship Certificate in my hands off comes the coat. Well sometimes I wait until I breed the females. Then of course it's dangerous to the pups to keep them in coat.
I will say that my dogs prefer to be in a shorter cut.
