what do you think???? I was just thinking for those of you who care:) .How hard do you think it is to get a true silk coated yorkie with the short coby body as a pet from a breeder:rolleyes: .All I keep seeing is modified coats and cotton coats. while I think they all are pretty, I personally only want a true silk with the short body and not worrying about having a dashund looking yorkie when they are done growing:aimeeyork .how many of you agree? and breeders can you tell before they are placed:( ? and do you tell them:mad: ???? I don't like it when a person has a modified and thinks its silk because its definately not cotton.how could the breeder mislead them like that? :animal-pa |
long dogs I just placed 3 dogs... and of those three I have a short one, a med. length one and a long daush. looking one... crazy... but I couldn't have told that the long one was going to be long. But I am sure some can. |
I got Pixie from a big name breeder and she was 13 months old. She has a true silk coat, never mats, stick straight and silky. I found the only way I could get exactly what I wanted was to get an older one. Pixie has the short body but her legs are just a little long. She weighed 3 1/4 lbs. She is exactly what I wanted!!! I probably will only get an older puppy from now on. |
My Daughters new babie is almost 9 mths and his coat is silky, very staright and easy to manage, I gave him a bath over the weekend and could not beleive how nice it was, he dryed with in mins, All my babies have the cotton and its alot of work to keep up with. |
coats It is really quite easy..buy from a buyer who uses silk coated stock..and good conformation...and better yet..a breeder who has several generations of good standard type to show you from the line. |
I am just curious, so don't take it the wrong way, but I was wondering why you want a long cobby Yorkie? I just bought a puppy and she is probably going to be cobby and silky coated, but it's way too early to tell for sure. I think of cobby as almost square-like. I'm really interested in what you think, just because I'm interested in Yorkies in general. Thanks. |

I think it's easier when you get an older one, because then you know what you're getting into. |
Of course it's possible if you buy from a reputable breeder that shows their dogs in conformation and knows their lines. The problem with most "pet quality" breeders is that they are breeding dogs with less than perfect coats so the puppies will of course not have a proper coat either. Also, I didn't think yorkies were supposed to have "cobby" bodies :confused: Cobby makes me think of my persian cats - big boned, broad shoulders, compact bodies. When I look at most show yorkies, they seem to have a good amount of length to their legs. |

My Mia is a cotton coat and my Max is probably a modified. And at 8 months old his coat is still changing. |

"This Time U Belong To Me" - I think Lee calls her Marti - after Dean Martin :) She was cut down when I saw her, but I don't think she has a cotton coat. |

I think what you're seeing on Max is still his puppy coat, from what I saw of his last pictures, looks very silk. |

Really? Darn, I wish I had gotten a picture of her when I was there. I know he looks like he's silky but that only lasts about 10 minutes after his bath! After that it's dull and sticking straight out like he put his paw in the light socket! :grin2: We call him our "Wild Child". I tried that Emu oil and it helped Mia's hair but didn't really do that much for Max's. :confused: |
