Welcome to YT. Good to see someone else from Georgia. I have a brother in St. Simons. I have 3 yorkies and all 3 of them have different hair, The 2 boys have the same mom and dad but different litters. The parents were 7 lbs and Hobbes is 15 lbs and Calvin is 8 lbs. You just never know.

how long did it take the silky texture fur to grow in? I am still hopeful that she will have at least a LITTLE more fur haha

SO after MORE research I found out that Claire is MOST likely a red legged yorkie! It says :"Red Legged Yorkies are those Yorkies with "wiry" hair that never grows very long. Though, I have seen different degrees of length in these types of coats. Some can grow a coat of about 6 inches, others 2 inches and then everywhere in between. Usually, the hair on the face of a red legged Yorkie grows longer than the hair on his body. The red legs tend to be very dark in color, with deep, rich tans that can appear almost reddish in natural light. Their black is a true black that rarely turns bluish. I have heard that old-time breeders used red legged Yorkies to add color and proper coat texture back in to their lines."
Since Claire's head hair is so long and she has short body hair, I think this is most accurate!
