I'm fairly certain at going on 6 months, she's going to be a silk coat, and between 3-5 months her coat was rather thin and sparse. It still is for that matter, especially around her rump. This is where she has the greatest amount of baby coat lost.
On her back, there is clearly a line from baby coat to adult coat. The new fur is coming in silver and has a metallic sheen to it and is flatter. the baby coat is not only dull black, but poofy.
She always looks a bit disheveled, because of the poofy baby coat scraggling everywhere, and the sleeker adult coat hiding underneath. |
Great! it sounds like you just described My baby!!! the thin hair, color, and everything else you said. But i read on here that when a yorkie has thin sparse hair at the age of 3-4 months (i think) that it is acting like a human (the hair) starting out with a small amount and as an adult they should be able to grow a thick long coat... But i don't think i wrote that exactly how it was originally written, and i know you proabably already knew that... with all of your experience and all... but im just trying to make myself believe that my baby will be able to grow a long coat (it grows so slowly)
