| I flat iron their hair I have seen it done all the time when I go to the kennel club shows and I don't do it often.Only if they are going to have their pictures taken or going to a event Hope this helps!

| Yup! Uni's butt hairs are curly. We call her curly butt. the rest of her hair is straight. BTW show yorkies have their hair in wraps, which causes kinks, so they need to be flat ironed out anyway, so no one is the wiser!

| i've heard that yorkies who had their hair cut very short like shaved even once will get a curly hair later..i've seen this happening maybe you have the same problem..also if you use conditioner it may help a little but do not iron it's hair it will make worst later.. |

| Roxy's hair curls around her butt too. It also flips up sometimes on her sides. We blow dry her as well. I think our prob has something to do with this darn FLA humidity though.....UGH! I don't mind I love her curly butt!

| I'm glad someone said no you shouldn't iron the coat. Even though flat ironing has it's place in the ring, untrained yorkie mom/dads should not do it. It won't stay straight unless you're going to make them stand still without laying on it or just walking. It's not for everyone. A dog can be burned in no time. Here's what you do for a straighter pet coat. Begin w/ knowing your coat type (we can help you by descriptions etc). I'll assume you don't have a true silk just b/c you are asking this very question. I may be wrong. But true silks are pretty straight without much work. Use the correct shampoo/conditioner for it properly. If you aren't positive how or what we can help w/ that. Blow dry until it is fully dry. If you have a modified coat you must work the brush while you dry. |

As for your coat question, your babies coat sounds like my boys. His coat is a cottony coat. No straight hair for him except for on his face.

You have to decide what's right for your dog. There are great foods out there made from human grade ingredients. IMO it's ok to feed some with products to them. But you have to look at the other ingredients. Is it Evo or Old Roy etc. That's relative. I don't think yorkies need cranberries, apples eggs, turkey and wild oats in a maintenance diet. | |

I have a cotton coated yorkie his name is rain i will post pictures of him soon, but for his coat i cut it to where its hangs about 3 in from his body but i leave his face an head a little longer, and i wash him and condition him very well after a bath i blow dry him with a round brush which lays the hair down beside him but as far as him looking like a sliky good luck you will damage his hair more then any thing, there not ment to look smooth they have more texture then the others. i hope this helps | |

| it's called PEK Conditioner by Iv San Bernard. I have found Cowboy Magic Detangler to work wonders on my Yorkie and my one Biewers coat. It also keeps the mats at bay. And yes, it's for horses. But it can be used for dogs and humans. It makes the coat very silky and shiny.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | They "get it" by being born with it. While products can help eliminate matting...it won't change a cotton coat.
