His coat is somewhat to the thin side, never mats, is cool to the touch and is slower to grow than my modified coat yorkie.

He's beautiful. I hope to make a silk coated one.

I'm going to use it to explain my dark roots and blonde hair!

Razz is such a beautiful and adorable little boy. I love that photo of him with his sweet face, head tilt, and colorful shirt.

Thank you all so much for the sweet compliments about Razz. He is a joy to have, everything about him is irresistible. I look at his face and see 100% pure yorshire terrier, and don't understand how some can say a parti yorkie doesn't look like a yorkie.

Tammy and Lisa....I love these pj's on him too....the red/white stripe shows off his coloring I think. As cute as he is in clothing, he doesn't really like it much....lol...I think it's too restrictive for him, he doesn't like anything to get in the way of his running and playing.

I see pure Yorkie when I see him, too. From what you have said, he's got the adorable terrier temperament and it seems like he's such a happy little boy. Unless he needs them to protect his body from the sun or for warmth, I think you should do with clothes for him what makes you both happy. With his beautiful coloring and silky hair, he looks beautiful with or without clothes. I am so happy that you have him, Jen. He is a very special boy, and you are a very special mom and person. I can see the joy he brings into your life, and you deserve it. You give so much love so freely to your babies and your fosters. Tammy loves Razz so much, and I know how difficult it was for her to give him up. She made a wonderful choice when she entrusted you with her baby.

Razz's sister Pfeiffer has a silk coat too - and it's just a *dream* to work with. So soft, silky....I don't know if it's "cool", but now I'm going to have to check .

[yorkielady06]

I hope this helps with the light reflecting.....

Pretty yorkie and coat. I wish mine had a shiny coat like that I just think its so striking looking

[yorkielady06]

Now that was after a brushing job and 3 days post bath. She has not been flat ironed, dyed, or enhanced. But when you feel her coat she always feels cool to the touch and she hardly ever mats. She was completely shaved down by her previous owner 7 months ago and her face was trimmed rather short. I am growing out her coat.

In my quest to understand a true silk coat I found that seeing was the best for me. I have seen Yorkies in the ring that did not shine like this and was shocked when they won. I have seen jet black cotton coated tiny dogs with unclear heads win, wire coated and dyed dog with poor bite win his final 3 point major to champion. It is the hardest part I am having in the show arena. To watch poor representations of the breed, and in my opinion, poor pet quality dogs winning not just single points but majors to complete their championship is wrong. Learning about the "politics" is the harshest an worst to swallow for me. It turned me away 20 years ago and still I have a hard time seeing it. But I know when I finally finish my dogs, they will have truly earned it.

Jeanie sorry to hijack your thread.....was hoping that helped with the shine and reflection of light...

Thank you .... It has taken me quite a while to learn the difference and yet I see it and think "what is there not to know...look at that.." lol...
I am a little slow on the uptake...

Well you cant do anything about exhibiters that are showing and breeding dogs that dont meet the standard but you can know that when you show or breed a dog it is a good example of the breed and know you are striving to show the best. Im not familiar with the show ring and the politics but I do know what kind of breeder or exhibiter is appreciated on here amongst people that care about the breed and want the best for it
