I'm sorry for the loss of your little Peanut. Feel free to look at Sissy's photos anytime if they bring a smile of remembrance to your face!!!!!
My girls get yogurt in the morning for breakfast and are on The Honest Kitchen (freeze-dried raw) for dinner. The food, along with adding the Grizzly Salmon Oil has definitely made the coat thicker and longer.
Sissy's coat is strange. Her head and neck and shoulders are very silky, but from the lower part of shoulders on down, it gets very coarse. I have been using Silk Spirits by CC following her bath and that has helped some, too. It is hard to tell on the photo I posted, but she has very sparse hair on her legs (although the back of the legs has definitely gotten longer) and feet.
With red-legged yorkies, their coats simply do not grow much. The good news is you save on grooming bills. As I said, Sissy has never been trimmed. What you see on her face, body & legs is how she is. Her coat has gotten thicker and little longer in the past 6 months, but she is now 3 years old, so I don't expect many changes. Red-legged yorkies also have a tendency to have a very red color, particularly on their legs, rather than the gold or tan of others.
