Cotton coats feel soft and fluffy to the touch while silk coats feel cool and silky. Cotton coats will tangle and matt really easy and are alot harder to take care of then a silk coat. Both types of coat can grow down to the ground, although cotton coats tend to grow faster than silk coats. Both coats can be thick, though I have not seen any cotton coats that were thin like a silk coat can be. Also, silk coats will have alot of shine while cotton coats lack shine.
It can take up to 2 years for a yorkie's coat to reach full length or floor length.
Sophie's mom, I think Sophie has a silk coat judging from the pictures in your avatar. |
