| Silky or Cottony? I know this is going to sound crazy, but how do you tell if your yorkies coat is silky or cottony? Any information would be great. Thanks!

| Almost 'rugged' feeling. Not smooth and maybe kind of coarse.

Missing Yoshi Everyday! Donating Member | how old is your furbaby? if still a puppy then it may be the puppy coat....also people say if the yorkie is an adult and you take a picture...usually green and blue eyes means silky coat whereas orange and red means cottony coat...and it holds true most of the time...hehe

also i noticed that when they are silky coat as puppies they tend to look really greasy even after a bath....my Mei Ling is a true silky coat yorkie and she was always look greasy...even an hour after bath... now she is fighting leather ears...which isn't life threatening but her hair on her ears are not growing...or should i say was not growing but since researching on the topic i found the rubbing alcohol and 1% lotrimin creme is the fix...i notcied that her hair is growing back.

| Mei ling is beautiful! I'm going to go with a cottony coat. Although, the top of her head always looks scraggly...lol... She is thought to be mixed with Schnuzar (sp) so she also has a little undercoat as well. Thank you for your help!

| Kind of, I found her in a field close to my home back in February. We think she was abandoned since she was not full yorkie.

| Thank you! I just adore her to pieces! She has been such a joy to have, I can't imagine my life without her. She'll be @ 6 months old this week.
