Now Lee would say I'm full of @@@@@ but, I swear I could feel a difference and their coats would lay flat. But, then as you say, I've not had a cotton coat and I've seen every dog that I've bred at adult hood and all are silk.

"Slightly" is my 5 month old little Yorkie. I can not figure out what his coat is. If I do not bathe him ever couple days, he looks like an unmade bed. With one shake after I comb him he has bedhead. I am looking for a shampoo with a conditioner that will leave him silky, not unruly. His coat is fine and thin.

Harvey is a modified silk coat and Krissy is silk but I don't remember the coats as puppies...I've only had 4 litters in all and all but Harvey and one that I placed had a modified silk coat. Both Molly and Dolly have silk coats and of course I knew they were silk at an early age.

Give him time, they all look like unmade beds as pups.

Then I think Sebastian has a silk coat b/c it is thin and lays flat and is always shiny. Contessa and Duchess have modified silk it gets nappy easy. But is shiny and soft.

Well, Slightly does have new growth coming in..more silvery...I am just getting overly anxious to see him all grown out...right now at times he is such an ugly duckling...but he is ALL mine....guess it will be fun watching the metamorphosis of a yorkie...lol

Ugly ducklings do turn in to swans.
