| 3 yr old yorkie changing color and coat type? My yorkie, Ruby, is beginning to sprout black hairs with red/bronze colored tips which feel coarser than her normal coat. She is very light tan and a dark steel blue with a silky coat type. I thought that yorkies coat and color was final/mature at about 2 or 3 years old, so I find it strange that it is changing now? If anyone knows why this is happening I would greatly experience some information! Ive posted some pics for reference (the first is a pretty good representation of her coloring and the second shows the changes) |

| I can't be of any help to you. I just wanted to say how cute your baby is! Are the red tips all over the body or just in that particular spot? My Betty Boop is 2 years old and is a silvery/smokey color on her body, but I noticed today she has root growth that looks dark. So, I think she is going to change colors and be darker.

| Gucci, who will be 5 in September, has a silvery coat. Recently some of the roots have darkened to black. This past week he even looked like he had a black stripe circling around his belly but after grooming, it evened out. I was also suprised at a color coat change at this stage of the game. I thought it may have been a change in food (I took him off chicken for awhile to see if he was allergic) but that wasn't it.
