I took a few pic of my yorkie yesterday and he is 7 months old. In the pic, his eyes are green, I remember reading previous posting on eyes' colour represent their coat (cottony or silky).

So what is green? Thanks

I think green eyes means your pup most likely has a silky coat!

Some say that green means silky coat...however, others will say depends on the lighting and angle and don't go by that whatsoever. A cottony coat tends to matt quickly. I can tell my Cowboy's coat is definetly different than my other 3 (he just so happens to not be related to them). His coat matts so fast and he is the type to need brushed daily. My other ones are fine with once a week. Both coats can be beautiful

Minnie has a silky coat and never seen her eyes green in photos so I sure can't answer you.

The general rule of thumb is green/yellow eyes indicates a silk coat, while red/orange eyes indicate soft coat. Use a flashlight in a dark room. See what color the eyes are then. Many cameras produce "red eye".
