That is right. Just because someone has a yorkie does not mean that every yorkie will grow long hair/coat. It does depends on genes and how you care for the coat. Dresses, grass, etc.. can also mat and damage the coat. And it needs to stay clean without drying/damaging the hair.
If you do everything right and the yorkie has the right genes for growing a good coat - it can take any where from 1.5 years to 2 to get a nice coat in touching the floor.

Here is my just over a year old - he has a nice coat. These are just casual shots playing. I have others over 2 with full coats.

** I never cut my yorkies hair unless it goes past the floor and just trip the bottom where it touches and drags the floor.
