I found out the hard way that Daddy did pass down the coat to his offspring. It looks okay if kept in a puppy cut but if you want long hair it just is too thin, wispy and won't get long on his body. I didn't know his coat had this problem until I tried to grow it out as his hair is curly and seemed just okay but very fine. If your Yorkie doesn't have a good coat, I would not breed it as it will perpetuate the problems you are seeing in Yorkies all over. I am scheduled for a neuter this month. 2 puppies from his litter show this coat and theirs is even worse than his. Jetta is his offspring and her coat is really not good.
