| Tiny Yorkies more hairless than normalsized? Hey guys! This is my first time posting something. I have a yorkie and he's 7 months and less than 2 pounds. He's def. a teacup yorkie. I am growing his hair out but since I starting growing it out, he looks a lil more bald than before. His hair is very thin. Should I be worrying? My friend, who has 3 yorkies, said that some small dogs usually have thinner hair than normal because they are so small. Here's a picture of what he looks like right now. PLEASE HELP! |

| thin hair My Feather is 7 1/2 months and 2lb 4 oz. Her hair is not thin at all. If this is as long as it has grown and not been cut there may be a medical problem. There are many possible causes such as hypothroidism that can cause thin hair. Also nutrition may be a problem |

| Hey, Well my baby is 2 lbs 7 oz and she is 5 months and she is hairy! She is a little bit hairless around her upperchest area. I think your pup is cute and Yorkiedaze is right he will never have to go to the grommers and u wont have to battle with him to get his hair combed.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Some have more hair than others. If I'm not mistaken, a "correct" coat isn't suppose to be thick. Has anyone else heard this?

| Well he got "groomed" by my friend once that was like a month ago. I've gaven him lil snips here and there a couple times. His hair grows but it's just real thin. And yes this is christy sarah! (: I'll write more about Major and Pleasures (my other yorkie that is currently not with me though) a lil later after my finals are over. And thanks for the welcomes! He's not acting weird or anything so I guess I should not worry right? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Pixie is my smaller one, 3 1/2 lbs and she has a thin silky coat. I love it and told the breeder if she gets anymore like her I want her. Much easier to take care of.

| Have been noticing the same thing with my 2 lb. girl. She has been having issues with fleas lately and I have had to use frontline spray in between her monthly Revolution treatments. Did not know if the frontline or the fleas were causing her to lose some hair. Then I thought about the thyroid problem...what other symptoms besides hair loss do they have?
