I have gotten more inquiries than I can count with the "help, my puppy is going bald!" question. I always tell new parents that the puppy's head will look like "an old man who is growing out his Grecian Formula hair. I might be telling my age..LOL..but it really does look that way. The roots are not falling out, they are simply growing the beginnings of adult coat. Be patient and you will see the hair grow longer and the tips will be black and the remainder is white, silver, or tan. Yorkies sometimes do not break their final adult coat til 1 1/2 years old..
