Type of hair My yorkies mother has wiry hair. She is a registered AKC Yorkshire Terrier. I thought they were supposed to have silky like hair. Any ideas about this? |
Tricksie is the registered mini yorkie and her hair is wavy, there are different coats as I have learned on YT, cotton and silky coats. |
coats Thanks I am learning something every time I log on here |
A silky coat is the correct coat for a yorkie to have. It should feel like human hair. However, yorkies can have different coat types. In the past, yorkies had a coarser coat than the silky coat they have now. My Lacy has a silky coat but it is coarser than it should be. I've seen some yorkies have such coarse coats that it is wirey and breaks off easily so the hair always stays very short. There are also cotton-coated yorkies. This is a softer, thick coat. Sometimes it can be wavy or even curly. |
that's good to know. i just took my dog to the vet today because his hair was falling out. i originally went in for a skin scrape to see why he was losing his hair. but the vet said he didn't have to because it wasn't anything too serious to have to do that. mild allergies. switched the food, and i got this fatty acid oil i put in his food once a day [it says its gives strength for small dogs]. it should take about 6 months to grow back, so hopefully i can start seeing an improvement! |
