Yorkies don't have fur, they have hair - similar to the hair humans have.
This means they don't have an undercoat like most dogs with fur, so they can get colder than other dogs. It's why you'll often see Yorkies and other dogs with hair sporting dog clothes. It's not just a fashion statement, Yorkies NEED an extra coat to stay warm, but it sure is fun to dress them up with something clever or cute.
An advantage of having hair is that Yorkies don't shed like other dogs, plus they're hypo-allergenic. Someone who is allergic to dogs might find they can easily own a Yorkie.
A downside to having hair vs fur is that Yorkies' hair does continue to grow, and it needs to be cut every so often. That's why you'll see some Yorkies with long hair and some with short.
Toffee prefers to wear what's known as a "puppy cut", while other Yorkies prefer the long luxurious hair that runs to the floor. It can be fun to try different styles on dogs with hair.
Sometimes the hair grows without noticing it, and suddenly your little Yorkie is almost like a bush - and when the hair gets trimmed, it's almost like getting a whole new dog. Toffee? is that you? We have so much fun with Toffee.
