One good thing so far there is not must matting . l love Khloe's silky hair but I was wondering about that thinness.
I guess Yorkies have all sorts of different types of coats but the Yorkie coat is not supposed to have an undercoat like most dogs have. I think that makes them appear to be thin coated. As they get older they do get more hair but no under coat to insulate them. That is why so many people put coats and sweaters and pajamas on them. In cooler weather they need that extra help to hold their body heat in. Gracie hates when I have the fan or the AC on in the summer. She ends up under the blanket to keep the breeze off her.
