Genetics I think it is all about the genetics. Shylah will be 2 in April and her coat is very thin and silky. It lays really nice, even around the face that she doesn't really need a top knot. All though she looks really cute with a barret in her hair, but she won't keep it in!! Starsky on the other hand has a thick coat but I don't put a top knot on him. I have his bangs cut and he has a lot of curly hair, that I can't let him get too long!! |
A lot does have to do with genetics. If they have great genes for a good coat - you can usually grow a coat. It should be silky and cool to the touch for a good silky coat - easy to grow. To help it grow to floor length we oil it and wrap it. But - if the dog does not have the good gene for a good coat - no matter what you do for it - the hair will not grow. Some yorkies have a terrier coat: short, bridle, rough to the touch. Some have cottony coats. Some have slow growing coats. Be careful with interpreting the Wildweir explanation to a pups growing coat - Quote:
This is why it is very hard to buy a good pup when the pup is young. The yorkshire terrier pup goes through many metamorphasis before it becomes an adult. It is mostly about genetics - this is why researching and learning is so important before purchasing. T. |
