a curly haired yorkie?? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

shan1989 · 05-25-2011, 07:43 AM

i have a 6mos yorkie boy..CODI and he has the most beautiful wavy hair ever but all the yorkies i've seen have straight silky hair... i guess my question is do you think he will keep his wavy hair (i pray) or will he have the silky hair that is expected?

Curley hair may not be a part of the "standard," but I think it can be really pretty. Once at the vet's office I saw a Yorkie that had the prettiest hair. It had ringlets all around its body. The ringlets made me think of Nellie Olson's hair on Little House on the Prairie. It was very pretty.

I agree he is perfect and I have seen tons of yorkies with coats just like that, and it will change as he gets older.

dont worry.. thats not curly... it's just wavy.. and he is too young.. their fur changes a lot until 1 year old..

He is such a cuttie!!

Awwww!your babies are absolutely adorable. I have two girl yorkies who have wavy hair, and one is almost 8 and the other is almost 3. its funny though cause the 3 yr old is a golden and only some of her hair is actually curly and some is straight. My male has a little wave to his hair but not much

Mollys hair looked exactly the same when I got her at 4 months but now at almost 7 months her hair is getting much straighter. When I got her everyone was saying she's not a Yorkie because she has curly fluffy hair floppy ears and is dark, Iit made me question if she was even tho I had her pedigree, I posted a few pics on here and everyone said with out a doubt she is a full Yorkie. No two yorkies r the same just like people. Enjoy your adorable Yorkie

My Tessie has wavy hair when it is long. She is 2 years old

Perrella · 05-25-2011, 04:39 PM

Aw...he is totally precious...and a yorkie too

He's just darling, such a sweetheart.

I would have just laughed "nope...you can't have him"

Well my Suzi who is 3 yrs old, and her coat has grown out, a part of her hair on her back is wavy... It is the steel blue in color , just that it will not stay down. She has the silky feel to her coat, it is strange that the longer her hair gets the wavy spot on her back gets. It is only in that spot too. I know that when she gets her hair cut the wavey hair will be gone. I do agree that it is easier for those wavey , curley haired yorkie's to become more matted, then the straight long hair most commonly seen.

So cute!! Someone on fb posted asking if I was sure my Aja is not a mix because she is too dark. . . . . . . . . . I will be darned if someone suggests shes not lol

All yorkies vary so much. Thats whats great about this breed.

TammyJM · 05-25-2011, 09:46 PM

My Izzy has VERY curly hair....ringlets all over. I will attach a picture of her, but this picture shows her coat straighter than it actually is (I had just groomed/brushed her out). We get a ton of compliments from people about her beautiful coat.

Wonder what she would say about a black and white, blue-eyed yorkie? I bred the female as well as her parents and helped to birth Possum. So I know for a fact he is 100% pure. Plus I have his AKC papers.
I raised yorkies with my Mother for over 20 years and I am still no expert. They continue to surprise me.
Forget that snotty girl. "Studing" yorkies and owning them are 2 different things.

My Kody is on the larger side and me and my husband always get comments of whether he is a Yorkie and if he's full bred. Because he is small, they assume he is not a Yorkie.
