| Someone asked, and I asked too, if someone could post an actual picture of a silky vs a cotton coated fullgrown Yorkie, but none were ever posted. I think it would be helpful to those of us with our first Yorkie to determine what types of coats our babies have. |

| Eye Color I didn't put this in about different coats & eye color. I did a search tonight for this. It's called Mydraisis and Fundus Refley or coat type and eye color. The pup must be around 6 months old or more. Go into a dark room & shine a flashlight in their eyes. It's like you are seeing back of eye. If the eye color is a warm color - red, amber, gold, orangish yellow that means a cottony coat If the eye color is a cool color - green, yellowish green, turquoise, blue that means a silky coat Cottony coats mat more & are very beautiful where silky coats are cool to the touch, easier to care for, & reflect light almost like metallic.

| I have a question about the white toe nail at 7 mo of age. What did you mean about absence of pigmentation? |

| Thank you everyone who had somehthing to do with all that great information.. I didn't know this: A puppy that has a wiry coat texture, with a tan that is a very bright red gold by four to five months, will as an adult do one of two things: First, if the puppy as it approaches five or six months, or at least by nine months, shows the transition from black to blue, the coat texture will soften to a silky texture. If the black coat does not show this transition to blue, the adult dog will retain the wiry coat which will never attain any great length. And its very helpful to me as my Lilly has such a coat.. and I was not happy with it, but I can see her coat changing to Blue already, so now I know it will soften.. Thanks Again

| Length of Coat Thanks for all of this good information. I don't have a Yorkie, but I am researching the breed to find out more information about whether I'd like to get one. My main obstacle is the length of the coat. The breed standard I've seen has a very long coat, and I would prefer to keep the coat shorter (more like the way a yorkie puppy looks). Is it okay to keep the coat short, or is there something wrong with doing that? |

| Of course, you can keep them in a puppy cut. Many people keep them even shorter! You can keep your yorkie in any way that you are comfortable in caring for the coat! My little Muffin had about every length you can imagine.
