not so fluffy puppy?

But I digress. I think Lexie is gorgeous!

LOL This is awesome. We say the same thing about Rylie when she gets a bath. We call her our "hideous little drowned rat"

Welcome to YT and Merry Christmas!

Your pup has more hair then my Chloe did at that age. I was worried for a while because she looked different then a lot of other Yorkie I've seen. She didn't have a fuzzy face. Chloe has a really slow growing hair, it is about 1 inches long on her back now after I trimmed off an 2" of black puppy hair. That was her only hair cut and she is 9 .5 months old. But I have to say it is going to be worth the wait because it is growing into a gorgeous silky coat that is going to be stunning one day.

That is a good sign -- will probably result in a nice silky coat. Wait til the 5-7 months stage -- very unruly hair and often look unkempt and not the yorkie-look we are waiting for. I used to have those "awkward days" pics in my avatar. I kept them there for a long time, and used them as an example that yorkies do go through some big changes along the way to becoming the most beautiful dog in the world.

ty and everyone else for putting my mind at ease. This is exactly how her hair looks (very thin on her head and now turning silver at the roots on top). I love how gorgeous silky coats are and can't wait now to see how she'll look once it comes in! Btw the coat on your little one looks so shiny and healthy, such a cutie

wow your Chloe has the same "skinny face" as my Lexie, and you're right it's not that fluffball "teddybear" look that other pups typically have. But the coat on Chloe is so beautiful, love the color. definitely something to look forward to

Bentley is also very skinny & has very thin hair (you can look at my album)... I was worried about his hair also but I guess they grow into it.. I hope he gets really fluffed up lol
