I can also tell you, if your baby has a course coat, which it looks to me like he has, his coat will look EXACTLY what your baby's coat looks like. That course coat will eventually come in silky. Before you listen to a lot of speculation, based on nothing but thumbnail pictures, I would strongly advise you to have your pup DNA tested. You can also politely ask the breeder to have your pups pedigree....do NOT accuse her of misconduct at this point, just do your research FIRST!!! You can tell her you are researching the different lines of Yorkies, just out of curiosity..... IF YOU GET UNREFUTABLE, FACTUAL VERIFICATION THAT YOUR PUP IS NOT PURE BRED, AND IT WAS SOLD TO YOU AS SUCH, ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU GO FORWARD WITH THIS, OR YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF LEGAL TROUBLE, AND RIGHTLY SO!!!!

I certaintly agree with the statement above, a DNA test is the most reliable way of knowing, I have all my dogs DNA tested, but again my son is studiying Veterinary medicine, and I don't pay as much, but to MAKe sure have him tested. I also think that your baby WILL have a very silky coat, my silkies have a smooth looking coat when babies.. and I showed you how my girl looks today..
hugs,
