There is also those yorkies that have self leveling coats that never reach a certain length. Then there are the red legs.....that never grow coat.
As stated above allowing your puppy on the furniture, sleeping with you, on carpets, etc....do contribute to rubbing and breaking a coat.
Daily brushing, on a show coat is not recommended......you over work the hair.....You never brush a dry or dirty coat......this also, contributes to breakage. Diet and keeping the coat clean (that means bathing every 4 days) are key to growing a coat.....
