| New To This Forum Have A Question About Hair Growth Hello everyone I am an owner of a 9 month old Yorkie named Coco. I am new the to yorkie world and I have had my Yorkie since she was 8 weeks old. I am hoping you fellow yorkie owners can hel me with a question Like I said Coco is 9 months old she will be 10 months at the end of August. I would like to know about hair growth. I look at other yorkies and by the time they are cocos age they aleady have long hair. Coco's hair is short and I am concerned about if it will ever grow. I wanted to know is there something I am doing or not doing or that I can do to promote growth in her hair? Is this normal? Well I guess its not since all the yorkies I see her age have long hair but do some just have slow hair growth? Thanks in advance. |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk! Some yorkies never grow long hair...they are all different. You could probably tell some from her parents if you happended to see them. |

| Hello and welcome to Yorkietalk! I really can't answer your question about hair growth because I keep my dogs hair short but I am sure someone will be able to help you.

I always thought that all Yorkies pretty much looked alike and then I found this website today and I can see the differences in everyones little babies. I always wondered would I be able to pick out coco in a crowd of yorkies. I'm still not sure of that answer but I now see how different they all can look. I love being a Yorkie owner and it truly amazes me how smart she is. How much she knows and how much personality she has. Yorkies seem to be very smart dogs. | |

| You would be able to pick Coco out. They all have their own look. Thats one of the things I love about yorkies.

| You must groom every day and bathe every weeks with no exemptions. Also when grooming always mist her a mixture of 3 parts water to 1 part conditioner this should her. Also hate to say this but you might have a redlegged yorkie ( a yorkie whos hair grows significantly slower than a normal one). Good luck hope this helps. |

Ok I will start doing this immediately I don't brush or comb her every single day and I bathe every 2 or 3 weeks. A groomer at petco told me I should bathe her every 6 weeks. But From reading other things I don't see anything else like that. I dont trust petco groomers anyway they seem so uncaring and rush rush. I've never heard of a redlegged Yorkie I guess that is what she is then because her hair should have grown a lot by now. I will try what was suggested and also some vitamins and supplements and see what happens | |
