please help me out? 1 Attachment(s) Bella was totally black as a baby with some white on her chest,Now remember that she is half yorkie and half pom She now is turning the blue gray color and some brownish tan,still got the white on her chest,her coat is getting longer as it was real short as a babe, So I guess my question is when do they stop turning colors & her hair is kinda silky but with a course texture.?Mats up easily. And another thing she is in heat and she has never sheded until now,and her hair is coming out on everything?Is this common? Do they shed at all?This is all new to me and well I guess with her being only half maybe it is the pom that sheds Does anyone know?I had read somewhere that neither of these breeds shed? Please help me out |
Welcome, Your baby is a cutie. Yorkies can change colors for years. I also have a 11 year old pom and she does shed.Poms do shed, Yorkies don't. Poms tend to shed more than usual in the spring and I think a heat cycle can make them blow their coat. With the Pom coat they have an indercoat and that tends to trap some of the hair they shed so regular brushing helps get that out. |
I don't know about the mix. Yorkies don't shed but will sometimes "blow the coat" which means lose part of the coat suddenly, thinning and leaving only shorter hair behind. My sister-in-law has a Pom and it sheds. Yorkies will matt very easily during the transition time from puppy coat to adult, after that time some will be much easier to care for and others will continue to matt easily....just luck of the draw. Brush daily and bathe weekly, dilute shampoo and rinse.......then rinse some more. Best of luck. |
Welcome to YT and she is darling. Even a full bred's coat is different for the first two years. Yorkie's don't shed but they do leave a few hairs since their coat is like human hair. I would be gentle with her coat, no harsh shampoos and careful brushing. Have fun - Warmly, Deborah |
Welcome. Your baby is adorable :) |
