If your pup has a genetic defect, there is nothing you can do to make his hair grow. Hormone imbalances may also cause coat abnormalities, which can change again as the imbalance is corrected.
Some changes occur between 6 & 9 months, and their full adult coat comes in anywhere from 3-5 years, depending, again, on genetics. Itching and scratching can damage a coat and cause temporary color changes, as new hairs grow in. Vaccines can cause coat damage as well.
If I paid full price for a registered Yorkie and his coat was a problem, I would contact the breeder and ask for a partial refund, as the dog did not develop as promised ... if I have a signed contract in hand.
Some Yorkies with thin coats as pups develop nice, full adult coats by the age of 3-5 years.
It is too early in his development to assume anything. Feed him a good quality diet and hope for the best.
Or, have genetic testing done on him to see if he's carrying any deformed genes and go from there ...
