| Silky coat predicted by puppy's feet I just read an interesting article that says you can predict that a puppy will grow up to have a silky coat by looking at the coat on her feet when she is a puppy. If it will be silky, the coat on the puppy's foot lies flat. If it will be soft, the coat on the puppy's foot is fluffy. What are your experiences with this? |

| That's interesting. It seems like most of the puppies I see in ads look like fuzzie slippers. Are silky coated puppies (and adults) rare? The image I have of an adult Yorkie is the silky coat. (And that's the kind I dream of having.) Or maybe that's why a silky coat is so highly prized, because it's rare? |

Have you been to a AKC dog show. Yorkies in the ring are silk coated. Occassionly you will have a soft coated dog, though it's not desired or standard.

I see soft coated yorkies in the ring all the time LOL! I don't mind a modified silk coat it's easier to grow LOL...true silk coats take freaking forever to grow and is not as thick like a modified silk coat is. Radar has that nice fine silk coat and takes forever to grow! BUT finally his facial furnishings are getting long YAH!! Donna | |

| I can grow coat it's just the facial hair I have a hard time growing LOL...Radar's mustache is about half way and his ear furnishings are almost there. Funny thing is the non show side mustache is shorter than the show side lol |

| Ain't that the case most of the time. CJ's non show side is longer than his show side....Ticks me off, I'd like to turn him around on the table and when he's in a stack.
