Hello Everyone! I'm new to the community and a new owner of a 12 week old male yorkie. I actually just got him a couple of days ago and would love to have some answers to a few of my questions.

1. He is very scared like someone has been mean to him, When I go to pick him up he will get down on all fours and kind of shake, I don't think that is normal for a 12 week old. I saved him from a house with about 8 kids (no joke), so that may have something to do with it, not sure though.

2. Also his hair looks awful, I gave him a bath when I brought him old and then brushed his hair out but it still doesn't look nice. So I was wondering if I should take him to get a hair cut with him being so young.

3. He is full blooded however I don't have any papers on him or any shot records so I'm calling the Vet on Tuesday to make an appointment to get him checked out. I purchased him off of Craigslist for a very low amount, so I'm hoping that there isn't something wrong with him for him to be sold so cheap.

4. Now on to the happy things, He is black and brown, however he has some light silver hair coming through on top of his head, does that mean when his coat grows out more that his hair will end up being a different color then it is now?

Also what is a good brush that some of you use that really gets into the hair and brushes it, I purchased a brush however it's cheap and only brushes the hair on top.

Sorry for such a random post, as you can tell I'm a new yorkie owner and have tons of questions.

Thank you!
