This may sound like a stupid question and if it is I apologize in advance.

My liittle 6 mo old boy is scratching his neck. mostly in morning upon rising.
He is on frontline and heartgard, and is very healthy. Is it normal for yorkies to have very thin to no hair under their chins(actually between chin and chest.)

I do have a vet apt. scheduled but will feel foolish is this is normal for them.

Please help.
Our Sissy was bald compared to the rest of the pups in the litter. She had so little hair and when it did start to show up, it was very thin. Under the chin/chest areas on a yorkie with thin hair is not uncommon. Even our dogs with considerably more hair, it's thinner there. I don't think you need to be concerned about the hair or lack there of. I believe some dogs scratch just to scratch. Just like sometimes you may scratch your head, not because it itches, just something tickles it.
