| ?? Breeder/Coat As you all know, Zhoie has a cotton coat. My question is, if I would get another puppy from same momma & daddy yorkie, does that increase the changes of getting another cotton coat

| I really do not know the answer but I was wondering about the other litter mates from these parents. I would think (only my opinion) that if most of the siblings were cotton coated that there is more likely that they would produce a cotton coat.

| It all would depend on the hereditary factor....You can have litter mates; both of silk parents and one born cotton and the other silk; one tiny, they other standard.....You'd have to consider everything with the pedigree....and then it's a crap shoot.

| Yes, you will probably get another cotton coat. My mentor always says, "if I dont like something, I simply try to change it" This is a very challenging breed. She breeds for Sturcture, Health, Coat and Color. |

| You and I have the same mentor.....Think about Paulette's Ben and Jerry....same mother and father....one cotton one silk.....repeat breeding...all silk......it's a crap shoot when it comes to the coat....

| That's sorta what I thought. Their was 5 in the litter and the other 4 are silky....go figure. Bottom line is, I don't know if I want to take that chance again or go with another breeder. Even then, I realize....I may again get the throw back. Thanks so much for the direction

However, Coat Texture and Color should not be what you should be basing your breeder on.....my goodness!

It's not that I'm basing my breeder on coat/color. However, it is a thought I would have if I was getting a pup from the same breeder. We keep in email contact, as she likes to follow Zhoie. I too, like to follow Zhoie's siblings through my breeder. I received an email that beautiful Chloe (silky) had 3 boys and 2 girls on Sat. I asked who the daddy was and it was Pug (silky), same daddy of Zhoie. Common curiosity, made me question...the why's of the coat.

| Most breeder/exhibitors that I know prefer not to use the same stud on the same dam.

| I would be interested in the grandparents coats also..if they were silk, chances are higher for a silk...if you wait until at least 4 or 5 months, you should know...most I know at 12 weeks...but a few trick me...I have never had a soft coat at 12 weeks change...but I have what appeared to be silk change to a softer type by 6 mos... |
