No worries,I wasnt offended at all I have actually had a yorkie mix..she was a beautiful amazing little dog..we were so sad when she died

We feed him (and his sister Bella) Acana fish diet,but we change the flavour (not the brand) every time a bag runs out so they have some variety.

I don't think it's diet related, he has fabulous hair elsewhere. Personally, I think he's beautiful. I would just trim up the ears!
I´ll deffinately do that,I´ll go see her on Monday morning..I´m also going to read about it some more.I never thought of that.Thank you!
His breeder has never had coat issues with her 2 yorkies.They have fabulous coats,and Milos is just like his dads.Infact,he´s is a spitting image of his dad..big long ears,same colour coat etc lol.
The hair isnt gone (I think I explained myself terribly due to being in a rush),its just VERY short and thin in that area.On his muzzle (the bridge) I can see through to the skin.It´s only about an inch,but it makes me worry.It´s really frustrating for me because the rest of his coat is amazing and I am a worry wart..especially when it comes to the kids and my fur babys
