| Hairless Yorkie: What Kind Do You Have I was reading the newspaper earlier and came across the dog section, where someone was selling a hairless Yorkie. I've never ever heard of such. I've always know Yorkies to have hair, and of numerous of colors. Has anyone ever heard of a "Hairless Yorkie"~? |

| There are a few anomolies that have ocurred......Hairless can mean this pup was born blue; born with coat but as it gets older the coat falls out......Or it can have a skin problem causing the coat to fall out.

Born Brown.....is another color anomoly.......a dog with a color fault, that may or may not have health problems. Blond is another color fault...... Dark Steel Blue & Tan is what is desired.......we don't always get it.....but, it's what is strived for.

| When I put my deposit on Missy, the paperwork said black & tan but when the vet filled out her papers for her rabies shot it said red and tan. I wondered why. I didn't think there was a red and tan. |

| Well she doesn't look red and tan to me......probably an error on your vet's part.

| I've never heard of a "hairless" yorkie. Yorkie's hair is their trademark.
