Coat

For adult Yorkshire Terriers, importance is positioned on coat colour, quality, and texture. Your hair should be glossy, fine, straight, and smooth. Typically the coat is grown out lengthy and it is separated lower the center of the rear, but "must never slow down movement."


From the rear of the neck to the bottom of the tail, the coat ought to be a dark grey to some black colour, and also the hair around the tail ought to be a more dark black. Around the mind, high chest, and legs, your hair ought to be a vibrant, wealthy tan, more dark in the roots than in the centre, that shades right into a lighter tan in the tips. Also, in adult dogs, there shouldn't be dark fur intermingled with the tan coloured fur.

Adult Yorkshire Terriers which have other coat colours compared to above, or which have woolly or extra fine jackets, continue to be Yorkshire Terriers. The only real difference is the fact that atypical Yorkshire Terriers shouldn't deliberately be bred. Additionally, care might be harder for "woolly" or "cottony" textured jackets, or jackets which are excessively fine. A primary reason given because of not breeding "off-coloured" Yorkies would be that the colour might be a potential indicator of the genetic defect that could modify the dog's health, a careful health screening can clarify or no health problems exist.
