I'm not the most experienced one to answer, and I don't know about the oily part, but the coloring is normal. Evidently they go through lots of changes until they get their final adult coat. It's neat watching them go through it!

Congrats!!

your baby is absoultely adorable!!! more pictures pleaase!

about the hair, i think it's normal since he's a baby and still growing. My ginger's hair used to be very thin on top of her head but grew.. now she's a hairy monster! lol jk, but she did grow a lot of hair on top of her head

whispersmom2 · 11-21-2005, 10:06 PM

OOH, he is a cute LITTLE guy. Congrats.
Okay about the hair on his head. It could be a condition such as some sort of mite BUT it does not look like that. It appears to me that he is starting his adult coat and the black puppy hair is growing away from his scalp, making it look like he is going bald. Lots of new Yorkie owneDs ask the same questions.
If you would want to e-mail a pic to me, I would be happy to take a better look. Just PM me and let me know if you want me to do that..

HI! Congratulations on Gus! He is a cutie!
My Abbie has the same type hair, that is the silver coming through that will be the final color and I have heard people on here say that the coat can look a little oily even with frequent baths. Here are some pics of mine, you can see the black ends and silver roots:

Here are a few more pictures of Gus...

Chair · 11-25-2005, 07:59 AM

I brushed his hair right before taking those pictures... why does it not look brushed? Is it his puppy hair? Or maybe the kind of brush I am using? What do you think?

yorkiegirl2 · 11-25-2005, 08:04 AM

Hi and Congrats on you new baby..I think all puppies look that way,I know mine does..she is 15 weeks and I brush her but she look like she has not been brushed ..lol ..It's a puppy thing.

FirstYorkie · 11-25-2005, 08:57 AM

He has the CUTEST face! I love how he has the gold over his eyes - looks like eyebrows in your pics. TOO CUTE!

The hair coloring you describe is very normal. Joey is the same. At 10 weeks, we thought he was balding on the top of his head because of the white. He wasn't. He currently (at almost 6 months) has a very light face and his back is turning light silver. No telling what color he'll end up...

Enjoy him. Especially enjoy all the little naps he probably likes to take in your lap. Soon, he'll be too busy for many naps!

Thorsmomma · 11-25-2005, 09:02 AM

Wow he looks so sweet! What a cute little face!
