Coat HELP!!!! "By the time they are 8 weeks old the very flufffy puppy will probably grow up to have the incorrect soft coat and if it hasn't broken color at all on it's body and it's head is breaking to a bronzy tone instead of a clear silvery hue than it will probably remain very dark and the head will fail to clear." I just read that right now on another thread.....now I am concerned.... Maxx is 11 weeks, and is very fluffy. He is still black/tan is that a bad thing?? :confused: |
He may have a cotton coat im not sure thou Hopefully someone will come along and know more |
Do you see his coat breaking at all? |
Probably does have a cottony coat...but I thought it took longer than the 8 week mark to really tell...I could be wrong. It seems to me there are more cottony coat yorkies out there than silkies...or its what I see more of...again, I could be wrong. |
While a cotton coat/soft coat is not correct according to the standard, it's not a bad thing for a pet. Rylie has a soft coat...it tangles and matts easier so you've really got to keep up with the brushing |
pebbles is 17 weeks and just began breaking on her head to a medium tanish color :( her back is still black.... so shell probably stay dark right? does anyone have a grown yorkie like this? could i see a picture of it? i want to know what she (might) look like fully grown |
What does it mean to break?? Change color? |
1 Attachment(s) This is my boy who remained black... |
Abby looks like she has reddish gold highlights intermingled with the black on top of her head, but her back is still very fluffy and black. Her parents both had a silky coat, so I'm hoping she does too. From what I could tell from pictures, she started changing colors on top of her head between 7-8 weeks. changing colors that's what breaking coat means. |

3 Attachment(s) All 3 of mine are black. Pixie who is 2 and has a silky coat is just know starting to break to silver on her back. Cali is cottony and almost 3 years old and had remained black with no sign of getting lighter. Roxie is 27 weeks and still black and just starting to go silver on her head. Her coat looks like it may be silkier than Cali's but not as silky as Pixie's. The cottony is definatley harder to manage. 1. Pixie 2. Cali 3. Roxie |

I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that Abby will be colored like Roxie. It's hard to tell from my tiny avatar, but she's really dark. |
1 Attachment(s) Here's my Max...he's really dark. I was interested in this b/c Madison's coat is so very different from Max's...so I am wondering if this is what's called a "cottony" coat? I need to check the other posts; I just never read about them, b/c Max has such a nice coat, LOL. |

That looks like Meka... When I take out her top not, all the hair on her head is tan/goldish color... Her back is still very dark and there are silver streaks throughout her coat.... She just made a year old last month... Is it safe to assume that she will stay this color? Quote:

Her coat is very soft but not curly like a cotton coat. I'm hoping silk coat?:confused: :confused: |
aw all these cute pictures of the dark ones makes me feel better that my baby will look pretty :) the person above me said something about the cottony coats being curly. is this true??? can a silky coat be kinda curly too? pebbles coat is a bit wavy when i dont brush it.. terribly cute... but i thought she had a silky coat? :confused: |
