You don't want it to feel soft or be floofy. |
Mary, in your opinion, when (what age) do those dogs (those with less leg hair/thin sparse coat) generally get their full coat? Don't their coats generally come in later than the "average" Yorkie (so I've heard)? And don't (as a rule) their saddle area stays darker (again so I've heard)? Looking for your experience and opinion.
I'm asking because one of our pups (now 8 + months old) has the thinner hair on the legs, thin sparse coat (though now it's beginning to grow and feel a bit thicker), her gold has greater depth to it as does her saddle area.
I've read as much as I could find on 'red-legged Yorkies' and I'm still not sure that's what she is. A throw back of some sort (definitely different looking than her siblings), very elegant looking IMO. Talking with her mother's breeder she apparently looks like her great grandfather??
Thank you.
