Okay now I have to post about these little blues,I get very defensive about them we have had 2 both males both born blue BOTH to this day have turned black and have a full coat and NO problems.
RIni and I have discussed this alot.I think it depends on how much white they have at birth on them and how blue they are ,are they all blue no tan etc.
One of our little ones was loosing his hair at 10 weeks put him on melatonin and now he has turned black and has a thick coat.Not all blue have the alopecia gene.
I have lots of pics of them if you want some.They are not a heartache they are just like any other yorkie just a different color.You may have problems with it may not. look in the sick posting here ,look at all the problems these guys can have(Yorkies) and they are not blue.
