I have a cotton coated yorkie pup that is almost 10 months, and he loses hair in the brush. There are different coated yorkies, there is silky, cotton and wire haired, I think the cotton in my experience with Gizmo does come out some as opposed to the silky that loses very little. I think it's just the texture. I had a DNA test done on Gizmo, and he's 100% yorkie it still loses some hair when brushed. He was also very malnourished when I rescued him though, so don't know if the shedding of The hair is still a lingering affect, or if cotton coated yorkies just lose a bit more hair then the silky coated. Also the cotton coated yorkies are much harder to grow a long coat. |
