None of my Yorkies had thick hair. Scotty's and Jilly's coats were very fine, silky but not what you would call thick. Tibbe's is fairly cottony but I couldn't call it thick at all.
You'd think if this were a mutation, it would just be a mutation of coat and not other features as well. I think this pup is the result more likely of a Yorkie-mix or other breed involved in the pedigree somewhere along the way and a lab testing process such as was described in the DNA thread. That white under the muzzle, throat and chest is like a lot of Chihuahua's markings and they have been introduced into Yorkie breeding in the past to try to bring about a certain look or merely by accident without the breeder knowing or telling and then there's just the look of the dog - it doesn't look like a Yorkie does with its hair cut back.
