We had a litter of puppies this past Saturday, both males were born bald. Our vet had never seen anything like it. His research led him to a vet that tells him it is a rare disease called hypo trichosis. Puppies should be healthy, but will remain bald. Both mom and dad are ours and both are AKC registered. They are very strange looking little boys. Hadn't planned on keeping all 3, but no one seems interested in bald yorkies! I am now a 5 Yorkie household! My husband says we have to name one "Kojak". Anyone out there every encountered this?
