The new hair that has grown in is a silver color. It appears to be a little wavy (but not much). Is is very easy to comb and never matts. It doesn't feel "real silky" -- it is soft, but a little coarse.

It is quickly becoming thicker - thank God - (he had very thin hair as a pup) -- and it grows very fast.

He may be a silky or a woolly - I don't know. My problem is that he is my first and only Yorkie and I have never been around another Yorkie - So, I have nothing to compare him to.

So - just from my description - what do you think?

I like his hair the way it is because it is so manageable and easy to care for.
And, it's healthy and grows well.

Hi Carol,

Like you I don't know much about yorkie coats and don't know what my Tiger has. Can anyone tell me what it is based on these pictures? Right now he has really bad "dandruff" (asll thes white stuff) and I don't know what to do . Other than that, it still feels sooo very soft and wavy as you can see.

I can't wait for you to update and send pictures of your yorkie
