This is good information. I have bookmarked it. The blue alopecia is a possiblitly. What is the cost for DNA testing. That would tell the tale wouldn't it?

[quote=GucciBear;2258967]Gucci is a morkie (5 months on the 1st) and it sounds like your new puppy is going through the same thing he did.

He is cute. Spike's hair is a little wispier and he doen't have as much hair on his face. If he winds up with as much hair overall as yours has I will be very happy. I think I will take him to the vet and have blood work done to make sure that he isn't vitamin deficient or have a thyroid condition that this could be attributed to.

He has light colored eyes. A large black pupil, but the surrounding color is goldish/blue hazel. His nose is liver colored. His eyes are not black rimmed.
Foot pads are dark brown, nails are black but not super black.

It sounds like a chocolate with a coat problem to me.
I have a chocolate yorkie that is 5 1/2 months old.
Reesie's roots are changing colors:
it seems to look like charcoal on her back at the roots & a creamy white on her head roots. She has a very pale pale gold around her face.
If i were to shave her she would look like what you are describing your baby is. BUT Ressie's coat is thick.
Reesie is on the left in this picture:

Maybe you can see her roots better in these pixs:

If your new little one looks like Vixx in the sweater, he has an adorable face!

Yorkies do tend to get colder easy, so you may have to go clothes shopping! (I LOVE shopping. lol)

Target had some t-Shirts for $1!

It seems you bonded really quick. You must be a very caring and kind person to see past any possible health problems and save him.

Did Reesie have light colored eyes when he was younger? Spike's eyes are very light colored, blueish hue. I know some pups have blue eyes but I wonder at what age they turn black?

Well I don't know about that . But I did think I could offer a better inviroment for the little guy.

Well I have never bought dog clothes before but I may have to. It was pretty chilly this A.M. and he shivered a bit after walking in the dew covered grass. Oyvey, more laundry.

Reesie's eyes are gold with a blue pupil in the center.
Her eye rims & nose are liver colored.
Her nails were liver colored But now are a very dark chocolate color.
pads on her feet are chocolate colored.
Hope this helps.
