Hi~

I never had a dog before and I chose a Yorkie b/c I wanted a toy dog that doesn't shed (oh, I named him Foofy). He's been w/ me for a month and a half now and we've been going to a basic puppy training classes together. He's learning well; I'm so proud of my little Yorkie. He's very hyper especially out in public and I can't seem to get him to calm down. He's so eager to go here and there rather than stay put like I like him to. I see other Yorkies that aren't as hyper as he is and I wish he was a little bit more mellowed out.

When I first got him he looks fine (a bit thin side but overall fine) but I didn't noticed that he didn't have long hair on his tail like the rest of his body. He's a thin coat in comparison to other yorkies I've seen, do you think his hair will get thinker as he gets older? His hair color is coming in now and he seems like he's going to be a very light Yorkie. I guess I'm a little worry that he'll never grow longer hair on his little tail. There are some hair there just enough to cover his one inch tail.

Would you have any advice for me in getting my Foofy to calm down in public w/ other people and dogs? Also, I'm somewhat concern as to why he doesn't have much hair on his tail.

Thnx
