I forgot to add - some yorkies will never have long hair, because they have the terrier coat. The terrier coat just won't grow long much no matter what you do to it. The terrier coat is rough feeling. It will feel like a short hair dogs coat, such as corgi. The right food and oiling the coat sometimes helps a little with this coat, but most of the time not.
