4 month old getting grey/white hair Can someone tell me if this is normal? My 4 month old Yorkie "Belle" is getting white hair on the top of her head. Today I noticed some white hairs starting on her back as well. Whats up with this. Belle is 6 pounds and has a corse wirey coat..her picture is in my profile album. Thanks |
Yes, it's normal. It means her coat is lightening up. My Max's started when he was 3 months old. BTW she is a cutie!!! |
Both of my babies did the same thing. It kinda looks like they're going bald... This is just a transition to their adult colors. No need to worry! |
Yorkie puppy coat color stages within the first two years of maturity - yorkie hair color This is the best site that I have ever read concerning coat colors |

Yes this is very normal for her coat to change |
just asking did the breeder that you got her from not tell you that they change hair color when they get older??? I have seen many ads lately where breeders is saying they have black and gold babies, and say this at 3 and 4 week old. You can tell at that age!!!! They are getting more money for the black and golds. |
My Kingston has white hair growing out on the top of his head as well. He's less than 4 months old. I like the look. He's got a black and gold coat. |
Madison has silver on top her head also. The first pic is at 10 weeks, the second is 16 weeks. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pic...ictureid=42399 http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pic...ictureid=49567 |

I have never heard of yorkies being more expensive being gold and black When I got my first yorkie (Sadie) I saw her when she was 5 weeks old...she looked exactly like an extremely small rottie!! funny thing was...this breeder also bred Rotties!! She never change color...as you can see in my avatar she stayed black and gold. When I got Lillie (same breeder...different parents) she was very fluffy and was black/silver mingled...she ended up being silver and tan. I actually paid 300.00 more for Lillie than I did Sadie...it had nothing to do with the coloring. had to do with demand of the breed. |

Excerpts from The Complete Yorkshire Terrier by Joan Gordon A puppy of around four months, that has changed the color on its head from black to gray to a very pale sooty color, will as an adult enrich all the tan areas to a clear golden tan. The blue will follow the correct manner of transition from black to blue starting to do so around six months. The coat texture will be the correct silky type. |
1 Attachment(s) as everyone has said, this is very normal. Paisley is 16 weeks and already has approx 1/4 inch of grey/silver showing now. |
