We really don't like them to begin lightening up until about 10 months of age. If they begin to lighten at a fairly young age, this tells us that the coat is going to go light, something we don't want. We can usually have a real good idea on the coat texture between 3 & 5 months. |
Uni was already breaking when we got her at 3 months. I had NO knowledge of the yorkie breed then and thought she was balding! In fact her hair was changing color, and from what i have read (I may be wrong) when their hair changes that early they will be very light (as Uni is) and have a silky coat. Her coat is still light, but I notice changes almost by the day! (ok I am ocd!) But I love how her coat is light and I can see the changes. She has some whiskers that go black tan black and back to tan! My bf thinks I am a nutjob.
