Hi, everyone. What does a healthy Yorkie puppy look like? What are some of the things I have to look out for when choosing a puppy?

I went to the local pet shop recently to take a look at their puppies. I am still set on finding a good breeder and buying one directly, but after seeing the puppies at the store I think I should educate myself more on the topic of what's normal for a Yorkie puppy. For example, the puppy they had at the pet store didn't have much hair on top of his head and on his back. His coat there was very sparse. Is that normal for a young dog? When I purchased my kitten, she had uniform coat all throughout at 2 months, so I assume that puppies should as well?

Thank you very much, everyone. I am learning quite a bit from you guys!
