Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Silky coat or cottony coat? Eddie has a cottony coat, and Jack has a silky coat. I prefer Eddie's because it's low maintenance. Jack's looks best when it is brushed daily. I would suspect that show-quality Yorkies would have to be silky. But I'm wondering what YTers think. If you had a choice, would you choose silky or cottony?

| Schatzi has a cottony coat, and I love it! I've never cut it and it looks beautiful after I brush her. I like that her coat is thick; my friend has yorkie with silky hair and it's much thinner. Anyway, I like Schatzi's dark color, and I heard that those colors are usually cottony....

| I said silky, because I have 1 of each, and Tripp matts very easy (cotton coat), while Tucker is much easier to maintain (silky coat). He does get oily, but he has a puppy cut so a bath once a week makes him look very nice. One thing about Tucker though is his hair isn't that soft, it can be somewhat coarse- I've never understood that- everything but his back is nice and soft

| I like both! But I have to say that Fergie's I guess is more of a soft coat. It never matts and it is staying black and she still looks like a little puppy! I think the cottony coat is beautiful as well |

| I chose-it doesn't matter because I have 1 of each and they both have pros and cons. He(Bubba is cottony) and she (Sissy) is silky. On a bad day he looks like a brillo pad and she looks like an oil slick but both just came from the groomer and look beautiful today |

| I think I prefer the silky coat Lucy has the cottony coat and I tell you it is a lot more work. It is thick and fluffy and somewhat curly (on her behind.) I am trying to grow it out and it seems like it never really grows and just gets wavy and out of control. SHe looks like a mop. Maybe if one day it will grows out and look awesome?? Milo has the silk hair and although it is a lot thinner it is not much work. I mean they both need the special shampoos,conditioners and products..but his seems to stay in place more.

| our yorkie's coat Our yorkie's hair on her head & chest feels very silky but the hair on her back is straight but always rather messy until I brush it which I do every day. She shakes herself after brushing & then it is messy looking again. On her legs it is like she has an undercoat of tan with thin black laying over that. Is that normal? I wish it was thicker on her legs. Elcameno |

| I prefer Kalani's silky coat, it's easier to take care of. Hoku's cottony coat matts so very easily and grows like crazy so it seems I'm always having to trim her up.

| I have one of each and the silky coat is much easier to care for, but I do have to say I love the dark cotton thick coat best. |
