Hello everyone. I just created an account, but I’m very familiar with the site. Ever since Romina came into my life I’ve been reading all of the tips and blog entries with questions and inquiries I’ve had during our time together. She’s now a year and a half old, healthy and very playfull (still).
But now I’m really worried about her short hair. She has a very thick gold and black coat …but short! My family has five yorkies of their own, all of them purebreds with long silky coats and when they were a year of age… their coats became gray with gold. Not my Romina, she’s a year and a half, and I can barely notice a few white hairs growing on her back. The weird thing is that these hairs are completely white (from the root), it’s not changing color in a certain length, just as usual yorkies do. Not only that, her hair does not grow (in length). Every time I brush her, tons of hair gets trapped into her brush. She has a lot of hair in quantity, and there are no hairless spots at all, it’s just that there is no growth in the length of her hair, it just seems eternally short.
I feed her with Royal Canine for Yorkshire Terriers 28, and a little bit of chicken just as treats.
BUT is this normal?? I’m I the only one with this issue????
: Is there a way I can improve her coat, (in shine and length), I‘m thankful that she’s a healthy yorkie, it’s just odd that she’s not growing any length and only a couple of white hairs on her back.
