I know this has been discussed a million times before. Gunner has a cotton coat and tons of it. Can you tell when they are babies what kind of coat you will get? Since Gunner turned 5 months his coat is impossible to take care of. Each time he goes out in the snow he gets another tangle. I'm constantly brushing and combing him (he hates it). Eventually I would like to get him a playmate, but I'm terrified to get one with hair like his. I can't wait for summer so I can cut it all off! When my poodle died, I saw all the yorkies in our campground condo assoc. with all the beautiful hair and I wanted one. My old Girls coat was hard to take care of, so I thought a yorkie would be easier, boy was I wrong. Takes much more work with him. I love the way a full coated yorkie looks, but he looks nothing like them. Don't get me wrong, I love him till death, he will always be my smoochie face! But, if I ever get him a friend, I don't want one that has coat like his.
Can you tell if a pup will have cotton or silkie coat?
Gunners parents were one of each, I think.
