| My Yorkie's Coat Hi everybody, i am a new owner of a 2 year old yorkie. It doesn't look like the previous owner took very good care of her and i can't get her hair to grow. I brush her everyday to keep the knots out but I would like to be able to have her grow her hair long. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Hope to here from everybody! |

| Hi and welcome to YorkieTalk. I'm happy you found us I don't really have any advice about her coat, but wanted to say hello.

| How long have you had her? Is her hair thick or thin? Is it silky or does it feel like cotton? Has she been checked by a vet? Is she healthy? What does she weigh? Is she a rescue or has she been used as a breeding girl?

| Wow you guys are quick I have had her about a month. Her hair is cottony and kind of thick closer to her skin, but beyond that her hair seems thin and wirey, alittle brittle. I dont think she was ever breed but i dont know for sure. All I know is she was spade when i got her so we wont get to have any puppies She does look better since I got rid of all her flees, she was infested when i got her. thankfully they are all gone now. i am not too sure on her weight either, I woud guestimate not less than 7 no more than 10 lbs..i am not sure what the average weight is but she seems to be pretty healthy now since i have had her. i just can't get her hair to grow. Thank you everyone! |

| Thank you everyone! Everyone gave great advice. thank you very much. Yes, this is the first Yorkie i have owned. She is very playful, in fact right now she is playing with my 18 month old son lol. I was worried at first about having a small dog around him because he can be rough, but they are doing great together. Well I better get going, thanks again! |

| Hi and welcome to YT. Their coat does take a while to grow. I was also thinking about breakage. Make sure you never brush it dry. Quite a few peple her use Salmon oil for their coats.
