I know that's not what you meant...just the first thing that popped into my head, seemed funny... thinking like the parti/biewer/yorkie argument now one can debate whether or not their yorkie 'glows'.
I am easily self-entertained I'm afraid.

It doesn't even matter what I say my intentions are, there are those who would tell me that those were not my intentions and proceed to tell me exactly what they believe my intentions are.

So I no longer even try. people will believe what they want to believe.

I don really care if those in the show ring dye their dogs or put wigs on them. As long as I am not showing against them, let them do what they want. It's just a dog show.

OMG, are you serious, a wig, never heard of that one, I have heard and know(seen) for a fact some do use dye but a wig, I have heard it all now. Wonder how much the hair extensions would be.

Silkiness: As a non-expert, I would classify this as the hair's reflectiveness. Other characteristics are lack of matting and coolness to touch. Thor is *extremely* silky. His coat actually gleams in the sun. For standard, silkiness is the desired quality.

Thickness: Again, as a non-expert, I would have thought the thicker the better, but maybe this isn't true. I would guess that the perception of thickness would come both from the width of the hair shaft and the amount of hair. Thor's coat is pretty thin.

Curliness: I am leaning towards thinking this is not strictly linked to silk, though it appears that most yorkies with curly hair have cotton coats. Tammy's dog's hair really does look both silky and curly, though. And I've seen dogs with very cottony, very straight coats.

Color: A whole set of its own topics.

I would say with silky it is more of a shimmering in the light as the coat moves.

As for thickness. There is thick hair, meaning a lot of it. which also tends to be coarser, thicker shafts.

Then ther is fine hair, smaller shaft, which normally tends also to be thin or sparse.

As for the curly, I do not see why silky cannot be curly. I think of a baby's silky curls. Their hair is very fine, very thin, but can also have curls and feel like silk.

Thank you. Unfortunately I sold him before I knew how gorgeous his coat was going to get.

The silk ones are pretty pricey. Cotton is cheaper but you won't win with the cotton.

Yeah, but I can't tell from the pics if they're 'cotton or silk fluorescent .

If I had one of those, it would be back to the sixties here!! Black lights in every room, lava lamps, strobe lights.....:. Would be cool if they came in other day glow colors.....a parti fluorescen!!

Razz has a silk coat. I've got silk and modified here, and felt the difference many times with show dogs so believe I know his is silk and not modified. This picture does show his emerald green eye shine but not very well. I've seen his eye shine in person though and it is bright emerald green, another sign of a true silk coat. 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.

What are you calling modified silk?
