Okay, I TRIED to read that and understand it!
If it all has to do with coloring/pigment....then are all cotton-coated yorkies PALER? Are there no cotton-coats with the gold/black coloring? And are there no blond/silver yorkies with silky coats?!
I know this is confusing....but I'm confused!
(by the way, I have one silky coated girl, and one cotton coated, and yep, the eye thing works on them, and yep, cotton-coated girl is more washed out colors)
