| will my yorkies hair grow back the same? Hi All, My yorkie is 4.5 months now (18 weeks) and about 2 weeks ago I noticed many matts closer to the skin. He had lots of curly/fluffy black hair w/gold highlights and kinda looked like a little teddy bear - sort of like the typical yorkie puppy pictures you see around. I did brush him regularly, but not with a metal comb (my mistake). I took him to the groomer and they said it was caused from the adult hair growing into the puppy hair and recommended we shave him, so we did. After shaving him, he had silver/grey hair and since then it has turned into a darker grey color. My question(s): Is he going to stay grey? Will he not grow the curly/fluffy looking hair anymore? His leg hair is already growing back the way it used to look, but the rest of him looks like its growing back more straight than fluffy! thank you! |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Unless he has a cotton coat, no he won't be fluffy any more. Nor will it come back in black coloring. His back should eventually develop into a steel blue color...

| I would love to see before/after pictures. I did the same thing with Huckleberry 2 and a half weeks ago (when he was 17 weeks old). His coat was just like what you are describing....fluffy black teddy bear looking. Now, he has the steel blue/silver on his back. |

| he is very very cute....looks to me like he may keep some...key word there is some....of his black coloring (especially on his back, and around his eyes)....it will be very interesting to see with the next trimming how he is looking....they change so much in the first 8 months....good luck...he sure does look like a keeper though...very cute
