I have seen the mom and the dad and they are yorkie. Has anyone else had this issue and if so how long did it take for the hair to grow?
I agree with the others that the puppy doesn't look like a purebred Yorkie. However, there was a case in 2013 where a Yorkietalk person had a puppy with a similar issue--short hair and didn't look like a Yorkie--and they had it genetically tested and it came back as a purebred Yorkie. The hair was short and dark, and never grew long and never lightened up in color. Here is that thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...then-what.html If you're curious, I would recommend genetic testing. Here is a link to the Wisdom Panel genetic testing website: https://www.wisdompanel.com/
