| I am with Rose, this coat business is hard to figure out and I never get clear answers because different breeders have different explanations. Isn't a cottony coat different than a soft coat? I thought the cottony coats had the the really thick coats with the heavy facial and leg hair. And then there is the modified silk coat. |

I do have to say though, that there seems to be better coat texture today with better color than back then, overall. I have some beautiful silky coated yorkies with the blue skin. Don't go by that. | |

| For me - the modified silk coat is thicker than silky, but does not mat as much as the cottony coats. |

| Boy, I sure wish there was an easy way to tell as well! When I first started looking for a yorkie, I went to a womans house and she had 3 females that she showed me and was trying to talk me into showing and I wasn't sure if that's what I wanted at the time. Anyways, she showed me one and said see, this one is going to have a soft coat but these other 2 are silky. They were about 6 months old at the time. I couldn't see the difference. I just sorta shook my head and inside I was thinking they all looked the same. Now I can tell the difference when they are grown but wish I had a little more experience with predicting how things are going to turn out! |

| Rose, I look for that dark blue skin.......it's when I see the lighter and pink skin that I know the pup is going to go light.

| I was talking to my hubby about our discussion and he said, - "That is why you hold on to them so long!" He is so good with words. You have to hold on to your litters for a long time to see how they are turning out, especially if there is one you want one to hopefully show. |

| yes i know these are not going any where for awhile unless they look like they are going to be to small but right now they are 1.4 ounces boys and girl is 1.7 so i am hoping i am finally going to get some size and found the right match in my breeding |
