| I know what a Chinese Crested looks like, and you are somewhat describing that. I never saw or heard about a hairless yorkie. Here is a picture I found on the web of a hairless crested.

| Its called colour dilution alopecia. Its a disorder and I don't know anyone who breeds for it. Here's some info from Merek Vet manual. http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/in...m/bc/70203.htm |

| Hairless yorkie on Animal Planet I just saw this hairless yorkie on animal planet. I'm on the east coast, so people in different time zones might be able to catch it. The show is Amaizing Animal and it's the "Ultimate Oddities Special." It's a puppy yorkie without hair. It shows it with the rest of the litter, that has hair. Just thought I'd let you all know!

| Kojak Yes, the little hairless yorkie has been on that show several times as a rerun. The problem with him is he is more suseptible (Sp) to cold and has to wear sunscreen when he goes out cause he does not have the normal protection of his hair like most yorkies, he is adorable, but it is a birth defect, not a breeding trait. Due to his bald nature they have named him Kojak after the Telly Savalas TV character. |

| Why, so you can breed with this terrible defect? |
