Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Coats???? Okay I didnt wanna hijack the other thread about coats so Il ask in here cuz I have lots of questions.... Okay I am told Bella is Slik and Diggy looks cotton. I seriously don't know. Here is my questions? 1st What do you think they are? 2nd- Can you be a Silky on the outer coat and cotton on the underneath? 3rd-Do silks grow slower? 4th- I cannot get Bellas hair on her back to grow even and get that long....I get her groomed but say only trim her hair on her legs and shve her feet and do nothing to the hair on her back, it that what I am supposed to do or should I have back hair trimmed also to promote growth? 5th- Someone said Diggy looks soft by his coloring? are there coloring patterns for certain coats? How many coats are there and can I see examples of them? Here's mine opinions are greatly appreciated and explainations too!!!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | CUTE PICTURES !! and ok - I'll try - I'm no expert but based on my 2 who are one of each - and from what I've read and talked about for 5 years now 1st What do you think they are? Silky and PUPPY LOL (hard to tell at this age) 2nd- Can you be a Silky on the outer coat and cotton on the underneath? I don't know but there IS something called Modified Silk - which is in between the 2 types 3rd-Do silks grow slower? I think so yes. Chanels hair grows 4 times faster than Cheri's whp is silky 4th- I cannot get Bellas hair on her back to grow even and get that long....I get her groomed but say only trim her hair on her legs and shve her feet and do nothing to the hair on her back, it that what I am supposed to do or should I have back hair trimmed also to promote growth? I don't think cutting the hair promotes growth - at least not in my own experience with my girls - I'd just let it grow and not cut it unless you're just doing it to even her up 5th- Someone said Diggy looks soft by his coloring? are there coloring patterns for certain coats? good question - I've seen dark coated silky coats and dark coated soft - True silk will have a blue sheen to it & feel cool to the touch How many coats are there and can I see examples of them? I really think 3 types are seen the most - Silk - Modified Silk and Soft but the experts can tell you better So you can see a Puppy who will grow into a soft coat - here's Baby Chanel who already showed signs of BIG Texas Hair LOL

| Oh I had them mixed up on the other thread. Bella is definately silk. I am not sure about the puppy as I have 2 also that I am waiting for their coats to grow. But Diggy has the gray at the front....can Yorkies have the silver blue coat and cotton coat? I thought the silver meant they would be silky? |

| I was the one who said your dog looked soft because of his coloring. There are other ways to tell, usually a softer coated puppy has fluffy feet and legs. I am not sure of the age when this is foolproof but they say that red eyeshine signifies soft. Does he have green eyeshine? |

| Eye shine = what color the flash makes his eyes? When you take a pic with the flash, does he get red eye or green/blue? |

| In a lot of Gizzy's pics his eyes reflect blue or green. I thought it was just picking up colors from the background. Humm...
