Like I said, his hair was super thin until very recently. His color is changing and his hair is thicker!! I can't believe it

Maybe Teddy will surprise you too soon!

I doubt Teddy's will change. His body hair has always been wavy. he's always been a fluff of fur

If you are looking for a pup with a silk coat at about 8 weeks look for a very thin coat that isn't really all that nice then but it will grow into a lovely coat that is easy to take of but of course check the coat of the sire and dam. Like Cali's owner I have had one silk and one cottony and kept the latter a bit shorter all the time because grooming was quite hard on her.

I guess that is the problem...I never saw Teddy's parents.

It's really hard to tell from the picture. She must be the one in the little daisy outfit and the quality of the gold on her head is wonderful. They are all precious. If she's a year already or almost and not matting on you I would think she is silk.....of couse silk can mat up once in awhile too.

Maggie's coat looks really straight and shiny so I guess it is silky. It is very nice, I love the dark colors too

Is Teddy in the outfit with the knit hat....oh he is to die for

[Bama Yorkie Mom]

maggies hair was so thick when I got her she looked like a fat ball of fur and you could try to pull the hair apart to see her skin and couldnt hardly see skin at all. I just knew she was gonna be cottony but as I kept brushing her matts out her hair became silkier and silker and no matts. so thin coats dont always mean a lot to me.

hmm no I think that is London you're talking about. Well anyhow they were puppies there, here they are now, these are not the best pics but it's so you can see their coats. The first is Teddy...the hair on his head is extremely soft but if you can see his body hair is really curly, thick and has mats. So he is a modified coat I was told. The other 3 pics are London. She has clothes on most of the time but the frst is one of her w/o clothes. I love her hair, it's soo soft and straight but it grows kinda slow.

oops forgot the pics...here they are

Adorable, but yes I think Teddys butt is even fluffier then my Winstons...I think it's cute, but I bet it's hard to take care of. Gotta love 'em!!!

Really? Wow It's amazing how their hair change..I really try to brush Teddy's matts out but it's so hard and I don't want to cut his hair I wanted it to be long and flowy lol guess that's not gonna happen, it's okay though, when I brush it out it's soft but wavy still

Buddy's coat is a true silky coat. He feels like velvet.

I am not sure what Hannahs coat is, sometimes I believe it is silky and sometimes I don't. It looks silky but it matts easy....
