I have 3 yorkies...Sadie (my first) doesn't have a pretty coat...It doesn't grow long but, never matts either..she actually looks better clipped Lillie (our second girl) has a GORGEOUS coat...was A LOT of work to keep her in coat...she is that silvery blue with a tan face....very pretty, if i don't mind saying so!...but her hair would matt so bad and she, all of a sudden, didn't like being brushed anymore ....her coat would actually drag on the floor if I didn't keep cutting it....Bentley, our new little guy had a very straggly coat.....I thought maybe clipping him it would grow in better...well...it is! however....he gets clipped too!...I don't shave them...I use 1 1/2" clipper guide so the still have a coat to brush...just not a long one! much easier on me too!...we camp as well...and it's easier to have their coats shorter..
