| Her hairs not growing ... Not sure why! Hi Everyone, My baby, Lilly, is 6 months old. She's such a love, I couldn't imagine life without her. I'm wondering why her hair hasn't really grown that long. I've been looking forward to the long traditional yorkie hair. And I've always thought her hair would be nice and silk like and it's kind of more on the course side. I purchased her local and I have her papers that prove she's a pure breed. Could anyone out there tell me why her hairs not growing???? |

| Hello and welcome to YT! You might just have a slow coat grower. Riley is that way. She turned one year old this week but her coat is still only halfway to the ground (only been trimmed once). It's very different from Penny's. I think someone told me here that true silk coats grow slower. Do you use any supplements? There's great info on this site for products that might help with her coat growth. Omega3 helped Riley's coat after a bout of leather ear. |

| No, I haven't used any supplements for her. I guess I never even thought about it! Omega3 huh? ... I'm going to look into it. By the way, what's leather ear??? Boy oh boy, am I a rookie or what .... LOL |

| Yes, I do live in Liverpool, NY. I live in Pinegate North, off Soule Rd. Where do you live? I was thinking I was being a bit impatient but I ran into someone last weekend who had a female and was a month younger than Lilly and her hair was longer. So, that got me thinking maybe something was wrong! |

| Too funny ... it takes the World Wide Web to find local people! I want Lilly to have puppies when she gets older and find that all the yorkies I've run into around Liverpool are females ... Are you going to let Bella have pups? |

| You might try some Missing Link in her food. It sure seems to make Jake's coat grow like crazy!

| Bella is going to be to tiny to breed, I wasn't intending on it to begin with tho. I'm getting a female biewer come January and as much as I would have loved to breed them I just can't see myself doing it and working full time, way to much work. I have Bella in puppy classes at Petsmart on 31 on Sundays and there is a little boy yorkie, very tiny also. He is about 18wks old now I think, his name is Willie and he is adorable. I of course have no clue if his Mom is planning on using him as a stud dog but I could ask around if your looking for some breeding connections. Maybe I should get her the web addie for YT and we could all end up having a YT meetup in CNY some day :-) I would love to keep in touch with someone local that also has a yorkie... pm me and we can exchange email addresses if you would like

| I'm not very versed on YorkieTalk website ... so, please bare with me! What does "pm me" mean. Yes, I would love to talk more. I may show up on Sunday to check things out! What time is the class? Petsmart is my favorite, I love bringing Lilly there! |
