That is so cool to know! My silky coated yorkie's DO turn GREEN in the flash and I always wondered why. My "modified silky" coate Yorkie's eye turn red in the flash. And I always wondered why. | |

| From the pictures to me looks like could be silk to a modified silk. If the coat is cotton the hair on the paws and legs would be thick, thick and from the photos the hair on the paws do not look thick and wooley. I have two cotton coats and the hair on their legs and paws are very very thick. My modified coats have straight hair on their paws but thicker than my silk coats. If a yorkie has a cotton coat the hair on the paws are very very very thick and wooly per se. I hope that helps too! Donna Bird Brooklynn's Yorkshire Terriers |

| Does the camera trick work on a 12 week old puppy? Okay... Don't laugh BUT I have chased her around all night with the flash off and the redeye off and all I get is either a blurry picture or just those beautiful brown eyes. No green or red! My husband is laughing at me trying to figure this out.

| Wow, I didn't know about the eye thing. Fancy's eyes are green in pictures so I hope it turns out she has a silky coat. I didn't know how to tell the difference between a silky and a cotton coat anyway...

Senior Yorkie Talker | I think i may have found a loophole is the eye color matching the dogs coat. My yorkie is definitley a cottony coat and has green eyes in his pictures...does this mean his coat will turn silky? or is this whole eye thing just a coincidence with everyone elses yorkie?

Here are some links that explain coat texture and the eye flash phenom. Yorkie puppy coat color stages within the first two years of maturity - yorkie hair color - Coat questions Eye Shine - Eye Shine It's a bit technical, but it explains it well. Hope it helps!
