As you are learning out there is a lot to yorkies to learn. Not all yorkies will grow a nice long coat - depends on its genes and quality. You need to get a good book about yorkies and read up on them. A perfect book is The Complete Yorkshire Terrier by Gordon and Bennett.
Yorkies goes through many changes and it takes time for the ones that will grow coat to grow it. It takes at least a year to get the hair to the floor and that is determined by the quality of their coat as well as the care you give it.

Here is a photo of my girl. She is exactly 6 months for you to see. The one of her standing is when she was 5 months, the rest were just taken last week (6 months of age).

Do you have a photo of your yorkie to show us?
