| Update: Is this a Yorkie? I had posted yest. about how I had visited a male Yorkie for sale approx. the same age as my Bijou. My Bijou really looked nothing like this hairy little furball Yorkie male (at 7 mos.). Thus, I posted another picture of Bijou. Here is some side pictures, also showing no back hair. This little boy's hair was at least two inches long, shorter legs, and has been to the groomers numerous times. My Bijou has went to the groomer's once, they did put a top knot with all 6 hairs on her head. But I think that was more to make Mom happy then her really needing it.

| coat Bijou is a Yorkie I am sure, but she is reminds me of a wire coat and they do not get much growth..it breaks off instead of growing long..a genetic trait, but Yorkie. |

| Oh my. If I had been more experienced in what I was looking for in a Yorkie, how would I have known that? Is that how all wire hair Yorkies are? No back hair? Will her face get longer? Will she ever have enough hair to warrant a top knot on her head? Or is this as good as it gets. LOL. I am not complaining as I love her. But to know I paid a million dollars for her, her genetics seem pretty low, correct?

| She could still get long hair, but even if she didn't, she's a cute as they get! She does have awfully nice looking hair though. |

| When we got titan he looked pretty similar to this, he was six mo when we got him. I'm almost 100% sure he was missing something in his diet (plus had worms) when we got him. Now he has a beautiful true silk coat. Silk coats tend to grow alittle slower. You could try adding a suppliment like Missing Link to his food. Here are a couple of pictures of Titan when he was just a year old. His coat had grown a lot and he could where a top not .

| Marley also has the same problem.....his hair in the back grows very slowly. One thing I read is that it can take a little more than a year to see how the hair is going to be.....Marley's mom and dad have nice hair I was feeding Royal Canine before...now he is on merrik's and homemade food at dinner and I hope to see a difference soon This is wonderful site where I've learned a lot and like annaschaben says is probably a good idea to add a supplement to his diet He is definitely a cutie!!!!!! |

| To me she looks like a Yorkie - such a cute face! But yes, perhaps a wire coat like the other poster said. I second the Missing Link suggestion above.... Tatum has a very silky coat but there came a time when it didn't seem to be growing very fast. I started the Missing Linki and have seen a huge difference. Give it a try.

| I put Bijou on Missing Link about two weeks after I got her. I haven't noticed any change from that. Thanks for the compliments, I truly love her but she just isn't looking like the Yorkies I see around me. LOL.

| Oh, wow, her hair isn't CUT that short...it just grows that way?? Well, yeah, I'd say that's a little unusual....but she is SUPER cute! Looks like a real sweetie, too! Just tell yourself that lots of people CHOOSE to keep their yorkies groomed this short....so think of all the money you're saving!
