You are absolutely right there Villette, really hard to know what a coat is going to be when it is 16 weeks. For a pet, unless you have your heart set on a certain coat type, you may or may not be disappointed with what you end up with coatwise which doesn't matter anyway, a Yorkie is just as lovable anyway.
But for those who are looking for a Yorkie to eventually use in a breeding program, this is one of the reasons why you don't buy until closer to a year old than under 6 months old. Coat, colour and conformation can change so much as they mature.
