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. |
Thank You Jodie
I feel certain that Peanut was a red legged yorkie after reading all these replies...something I never knew when he was alive. I wish I had the knowledge that I have now about yorkies when Peanut was alive. Although I know he was happy here, I knew nothing about how to properly care for this breed. He came to us from a farmer who found him wondering in a cornfield. The farmer tried to find his rightful owner, but they were never found. So, we knew nothing of his past. If only he could have told us...
My girls are loved, but no more than Peanut was. Poor little baby, I miss him so much.
Abby and Daisy are on Canidae until this bag is gone, then we're switching their kibble since the forumla was changed and then they have NV raw once a day. Abby has the most beautiful thick coat. Daisy's coat is thin and sparse, but so shiney and lays so beautifully. She was rehomed to us in April. Abby came from a breeder.
