| Hi and Welcome to YT! As I recall, Black and tan for a puppy is good and will change when he matures. Thin haired pups mature into full, silky coated adults. You can check here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...rt-thread.html PS: It can take 3-5 years before you will see the full adult coat!

| Welcome to YT. These pictures show pics of yorkies from birth to 15 years. I hope this will help. Have you taken your puppy to the vet to have a health check done? If not, you should do so. pictures I'll also leave the following link. If you go to the bottom of the page, there are many questions you can click on to get answers by someone who was very knowledgeable about yorkies. Alex's Yorkie Care Frequently Asked Questions

| When Lexie came home at 10 weeks her coat was the same. I was so used to seeing those very fluffy furball yorkie pups and thought her coat seemed so thin especially on her legs and rough in some places. It turned out she has a slow growing silky coat and the rough hair was just puppy hair. Now her legs still haven't completely filled out yet but she only just turned 1 so i'll be patient Here's pics of her thin puppy coat |

| When I got Sophie Kate at 3 months she had the strangest coat, it was almost "wirey". She was not a pretty puppy, but she was cute as cute can be. Now she is 3 years old and her adult coat is very thick and soft. I am sure you little girl will have a beautiful coat when she grows up.

| Welcome to YorkieTalk. Well there is no such thing as a mini yorkie a yorkie is just a yorkie. Also they are not born with full coats or there adult coat. Puppies are black and tan.
