| Does wavy puppy = wavy adult? Lexi has some wave in her coat. It is not as bad right now because I blow dried her after her bath. Bentley's is very straight even though I think he is going to have a cottony coat. Both of her parents look to have very straight hair. Her father has even won a couple shows. Does wavy hair now mean wavy adult hair? I attached a few pictures of her. It is really hard to tell in them to me, but the first one is her first night home and she had played a LOT.

| A slight wave to a puppy's coat will probably straighten out okay. There is a reference about coat texture that I will try to find and add here when I do that says a slightly wavy coat as a puppy will likely turn to a straight silky coat. Ben had a little wave around the hips, it is staight as can be now.

| I found the reference -- I remembered wrong. It says: "Wavy coats are visible in Yorkie puppies at a very early age and in general portend a light silver adult. A slight waviness on the upper hindquarters is not unusual in many Yorkies, but should be watched." Yorkie puppy coat color stages within the first two years of maturity - yorkie hair color Ben is not a light silver, he is a fairly dark steel blue. But his waviness was slight (I could blow dry it out completely), just on the hips, and left very soon.

| I couldn't tell you if Stormy was wavy as a pup but she sure had some wavy curls around her back side when it started to grow out as an adult! |

| Sophie had a somewhat wavy coat and it is getting less wavy now as it's growing out, but I can see some silver hairs growing in, so I figure maybe the prediction a previous poster mentioned may be correct. Sophie's daddy, Jack, had a silky silver coat and it was beautiful so I'm betting she ends up with a silver coat since I can see the silver hairs coming through. |

| It seems like most of the wave is on her legs and booty. The last picture is before bath/blowdry and her back dosen't seem to have the wave like the rest of her. I don't know, I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Sorry, I didn't mean to kidnap the thread but I have really been wondering about this wavy hair! DH and I were talking about it just last night. Thank you RoscoesMommy42 for starting this thread!

| Jada is about 2 1/2 and if i dont blow dry her hair and straigten it after a bath she is wavy on her butt. The front part of her is straight and silky. I usually just let her dry naturally,combing her as she dries, I like her wavy little bum.
