Well, I'm not going to say blue or silver, because it's totally BLACK. He is two years old (b-day Feb. 2) and he had semi-long hair that reached his wrist. When he was a puppy, his hair was very very silky, but now it's all poofy and gets matted very easily. His face and lower body (chest, legs, paws, rear-end, everything under there) are tan but he's mainly black w/ a few tan and gray strands, in which some are shedding.

Is this normal??? Should I be concerned? I love my Daemar the way he is but I just wanted to know why this is and what I need to know....thanks..

Questions you might ask:

Is he sexually active?--No, never any contact of that sort.

Is he a Yorkie completely??-Yes, both his parents are purebreds.

Do you get his hair cut?--Yes, it has been cut twice in his lifetime.

What type of shampoo do you use?--I used to use baby shampoo, but a while back I start using this shampoo w/ Amino Fatty Acids that his vet gave us.

Any diseases/allergies--None that we are aware of.
