| What are your thoughts on this...? So Mia seems to be loosing some hair...I wore a white coat the other day and was holding her and I noticed I got some of her hair on it. Probably like 30 hairs. And the past 2 baths that she has had, there has been hair left over after the water drains out. Her hair doesn't look like its getting thinner, she has quite a bit of hair. She is 14 weeks old now and I feed her blue buffalo puppy. Her hair color is starting to change on top of her head. Right now her tips are black and the mid shaft is white and the roots are gold ;-). I do brush her about twice a week. I understand that yorkies have hair and not fur and they sometimes can shed it. But was curious if this is normal since shes a puppy and still growing everyday. Thank you

| From my research prior to getting Dex I read that Yorkies do shed once pretty much when they change puppy fur to actual coat. I'm not sure when exactly that happens, but maybe that is what's going on with Mia Dex is 12 weeks old and I see that his roots are all silver |

| When Maggie gets a bath, she always has hair left in the tub, sometimes more than others. She is 4.5 years old...I can see hair that she has shed when she lays on a light colored blanket. She has had bloodwork done, all normal, the vet says she's fine.
