| Soft Coat or Silk Coat? Hey Everyone! Meet my 4-month old Cruz! Could any of you experts out there tell me if my little guy will have a soft/cotton coat or a silky one based on the pictures? His head and legs have a very silky feel while the rest of his body feels more cottony. Thanks! Mo |

| You can't really tell with there puppy coat. There adult hair can be massively different.

| I vote silky, but it's really too early to tell. |

| Sooo fluffy and cute just like a teddy bear. I'd think cotton coat, or maybe a mix. Draco is silky, and my first yorkie. To me he felt fluffy but by comparison not nearly as fluffy as I've seen some pups. Cruz is such a cute pup, congrats!

| My little guy could be your puppy's twin. His name is Rocco and his coat looks exactly the same. I am also wondering what his adult coat will be like. |

| When they're this young, it's very hard to tell. He is an adorable little guy, I can tell you that !! I noticed a little wave so it may be a little soft, but his head seems to be clearing nicely. That's not to say he won't have a very pretty coat....I actually want him !! lol |

When I got him I thought it was going to be very soft but the texture seems to be changing quite quickly when he hit the 4-month mark. | |

| Cruz is so adorable! Makes me want a puppy! Did you see/ meet the parents? Their hair should be a good indicator of how Cruz will turn out. It looks to me like he'll have gorgeous thick silky hair.

| I will try to post one this evening. It is funny because Rocco is so fluffy,good thing he likes to be brushed, when I was walking him the other day someone stopped to tell me how cute he was and then asked me if he was. A poodle mix because he is so fluffy. I know he is 100% yorkie as I know the breeder and followed him and his letter mates from birth. My husband and I were just taking about his coat the other day and then I read your post. My daughter also has a yorkie but his hair wasn't as fluffy. Will post picture tonight. |

| I tried posting a few pictures of Rocco but it said they were too large. I am not sure how to resize. I changed the picture in my avatar. Rocco is also four months old. I have some real cute ones where you can see he is as fluffy as a soft teddy bear. I will ask my husband if he news how to resize them. |

| My Gizmo is 11 months old and had a fluffy wavy coat at your pups age, I'm gonna say cotton or a mixed coat. Gizmo now has a silky face and ears as well as legs and tail, but his whole body is very fluffy :-) he also is still golden and black :-) I've heard it takes longer for the cotton coats color to break on their coat, and that seems to be the case with Gizmo. He has some silver hairs but very few, and his gold has grown further, but his body and head are black pretty much :-) |
