Yorkie Yakker | Color of undercoat My 6 month old yorkie is black on her back but when you pick up her hair and look by the roots it looks silver....does this mean she will be silver and not black on her body, when her adult coat comes in? I saw her mom and dad and they were both black on their backs? |

| Jaeger is 6 months old too, and is going through the same thing. Yorkies don't have undercoats-what seems to happen is the hair will change color and it will continue to grow. That happened to Jaeger's face hair-it was black, then grew out golden, so he had little black tips for awhile until the old hair fell out and the new hair came in blondish. I can't say what color yours will end up-mine is a "dorkie" (yorkie/daschund cross) and his hair isn't as long as a yorkie's. Im assuming Jaeger will turn silver because his head did, and his back is starting to sport a skunk streak of silver, but I am not sure on that one either. |
