Where does the significant variability in the Yorkiepoo coat texture (curly, wavy, or silky) originate?

Answer

Which parent's coat genes are stronger

Coat appearance is one of the most unpredictable physical aspects of the Yorkiepoo due to its hybrid nature. The actual texture—which can manifest as curly like a Poodle's, wavy, or straight and silky like a Yorkie's—is determined by the dominance of the specific coat genes inherited from the parent breeds. This genetic lottery means that while owners might hope for the low-shedding Poodle coat, the resulting texture is a direct reflection of which parent's genetic contribution prevails.
