| Hi. I think he's growing in nicely. I love his colors and I think he is very handsome. If I could give you some advice (and this is off topic) it would be to use a harness rather than a collar for walking him on a leash. A yorkies trachea could collapse under pressure of a collar. Sorry if this offends.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Yorkie's adult coat will not be reached until close to 2 years, til then you will see it go through many changes. The dark spot on his head will most likely change as it grows, but doesn't always. It's hard to tell from pictures but his coat does look slightly soft, but then he is still a puppy. I agree with the above poster, please get Scooter a harness, much safer than collars. Even if you choose to use a collar for his ID tags, walk him in a harness.

| I think his hair looks quite nice for his age...Very cute pup!...My Apple is 17 months old, and just now getting really long...I did have her baby hair cut off at about 6 months, because it tangled so easily...And omg'sh, you won't believe the color changes, as time goes by...Just when I think Apple's hair is going to be one color, it starts growing out another...Truly amazing....It's like a little yorkie rainbow of colors... |
