| How long does it take for coat to mature? My Yorkie is 4 years old and his back is just beginning to turn from black to silver. Does anyone know the range of years it takes for a Yorkie's coat to fully mature? |

Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | Wow that's a long time! But all yorkies mature at different rates. You see some pups which start early and others, like your baby, develop the coat later in life. While some dont turn silver at all.

| How long does it take coat to mature Thanks for this info! My Yorkie has a BEAUTIFUL coat and I love it the way it is. That said, he is a blue/gold that we got from a very reputable breeder recommended by the Yorkie association in Florida, and I thought that all blue/golds would eventually turn that silver color on their backs. Four years does seem like a long time, and maybe he is a "late bloomer" but I will be happy if he stays just the same as he is. Simon has been the most wonderful addition to our family and has a great temperament. I raised him from 3 months old and have never looked back for an instant! Thanks for your comment. |
