blondflava · 11-11-2006, 09:58 AM

Yorkies mixed with other breed? But other than that

Rae Rae · 11-11-2006, 10:00 AM

I thought they only had one coat of hair? I still don't get this concept though

tassibo · 11-11-2006, 11:45 AM

I thought I read they have NO undercoat...I want to know so...bump bump

As far as I know and researched.
Yorkies have real Hair, no undercoats.
Dogs with Fur have undercoats.
Blondflava is correct, mixed yorkies possibly do.
But not pure bred Yorkies.

Yorkies don't have undercoat . Some Yorkie mixed can have undercoat .

My babies use my Pantene Creme rinse, it makes their hair soft and managable.

An undercoat is a second coat of fur. shorter and finer. It' what helps keep dogs warm in the winter and cool in the summer and water proof.

This is why yorkies can get cold without a coat on. But I have heard people refer tro some yorkies as having one. So I was just checking to see if anyone else had heard this.

Do any of you groomers have opinions on this.
