| Grey Haired yorkie Hi I just got a new little baby at Christmas. I was wondering if it is normal for the hair on top of her head to turn white and thin out? This is my first yorkie and she has had great vet checkups so far. Thanks for the in put. |

| Yes very normal and the hair is probably not thinning just appears that way because it's black on top and tan underneath. He's just changing colors, like most yorkies do.

| If you checkout my avatar you can see Sophie's hair went from black to silver and turning tan. She is just over a year old.

| I got Joey at 12 weeks and you could see some white under the black on his topknot. He just turned 1 year old and by his photo, you can see he is totally white now, and it looks thinner but its not, its the skin underneath that makes it appear thinner, belive me he has alot of top hair!!! They change so much as they grow, until now I really had no idea what he was going to look like, but he is my beautiful little guy. Good luck with yours.!!!! |

| It's so fun to watch them try on all of their new colors! And, it's normal. |

| 15 week Alfie is 'going grey' on top and I didn't realise the colour could change again. |
