I didn't word that as correctly as I would have liked in the last post -- I sure wish we could have more than 5 MINUTES! Occasionally a yorkie may have a double coat and still be all yorkie -- but they should not be bred. Like the wire-haired coat -- it is a fault. Still, I would want a DNA test on any pup that showed a double coat just to be sure another dog had not somehow been mixed along the line.
