Realistically no one should count of showing a Yorkie until after atleast 18 months if they are wanting it to be in coat. This is not a fast process on a true silk, but oh my what a site to behold when it's there. Of course on the larger end of the show scale, it will take longer to get to the floor because realistically it has farther to grow. |
Ok...well I assumed people said that as an excuse as to why their Yorkie they are showing doesn't have full coat.
