Hi! Some yorkies have poker straight hair and
a few have a wave - most often over the rear leg.
Sometimes this means the dogs are more silver
than steel blue. But the silver-ish dogs often have
great silky texture which doesn't break or knot and grows
long. They did not have half the products we have now
or flat irons that are often used today. In thr. 80's
we washed our dogs before a show, put the wrappers on
and at show took them off- misted them with water and brushed
and went into the ring. Some waves were evident in the pictures.
I dont yet know how to paste a picture in my post but could
show you some examples. But then we didn 't have these
crazy sun visor all poofed up topknots which make them
look angry. One of the reasons I love the Wildweir dogs
is they have cheek and flat heads that made them pretty not
snipey weasel faces other lines had. They also were cobby. The
Yorkie breed is NOT to be a tall dog, an Afghan in miniature
and while so many adjectives apply elegant ( if it means tall ) is not
one the originators used. It can be balanced and not tall.
