It really depends on what type of coat your yorkie has. Ruby has longer hair on her head, legs and tail, but her skirt area has never quite reached the floor. Being that she is four years old, I'm sure it won't ever touch the ground. But she has a very fragile silk coat and it has a tendency to break easily. A more wire-coated dog's coat will also not grow to the ground.
When breeders told me in the past yorkie hair is like human hair, I didn't realize they might mean - the hair is alike in that some people/yorkies are blessed with good hair, and some are not.
