| Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member  | I think you may still have a silk coat. I was almost sure Abbie would be cottony, because her coat matted so easily as a pup. I ran out and got all sorts of product to make grooming easier. Now, it sits in my closet, as I don't need it! I think I was sure at 6 months, when I noticed it was getting less thick, and much more easily brushed. Then, I also asked (here) about the odd green in her eyes (shown here at nine months). I couldn't 'correct' it with my image editor. LOL She looks like an alien dog: ("I am from the planet Yorkthon. Give me all your empty water bottles!") Someone said that the green reflection is an indication of silk coat. Though the natural sheen is lovely, her coat is very fine, and does grow quite slowly. At 11 months, it's about an inch from the floor. And, it's very hard to keep a bow in her topknot! The hair on her head is long - covers her face (lol), if left to fall free - but, it's so fine it crawls out of everything! I have no problems with grooming, since she doesn't matt at all. She revels in 'primping', and often comes back for more when I've told her she's "done", as if to say: "ummmmmm.....I think you missed a spot, mom"

| Sofia's eyes glow green, blue, and yellow at times. Maybe it's the lighting. Mostly they are blue and I heard it means her eyes are still baby eyes and you can't tell yet. Right? |

| I have one silk and one cotton coat, and the green/red eye indicators work in my case! It does sounds like a bunch of hoo-ha, but I've never heard of it NOT working! I wonder what the physiological reasons behind this are?! Interesting about the yellow for redlegs??? I'm gonna guess Luna will be silk, and is just trying to grow out of her puppy coat. It's a weird period!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I woulnd't love her any less if she was cotton coated, but I am not looking forward to the nightly torture session (brush, comb) that a cotton coat can be. Thank God that everyone told me about the Cowboy Magic, it really is great!  | |

 She's 11months now, and has changed even from this pic at 9months. I need to get some current pix of her.

| Tinka and Kaya's eyes are the same in pics (green) Kaya is silky and Tinka is definitely cottony. I have her in a puppy cut now cause it was getting so BIG! They are both 11 months old, so I think they won't be changing now, will they? omega |

|  disappointing coat My precious little Beau has a beautiful coat but his hair does not grow to the floor....it kinda peters outs an inch or two short of the goal.....he's two; also he has a bit of a wave to all of his coat and a couple of days after his grooming it seems to curl up. He has a beautiful stance; looks so yorkieish in every way but he falls short on his coat......any ideas? He's full blood and had a very good blood line so I'm rather disappointed.http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif |

| Wow, I'm glad you dug up this old thread because I'd never heard of the eye glow. Does anyone know of the reason behind this? My 2 girls glow green & are definitely silky.

| lol- I didn't even realize how old it was until you said something. I am not sure what the 'scientific' reasoning is behind the eye reflection but it does seem to be true. Wish I would have known  . This is how my cotton coat eyes look every time I take a picture
