| A-ha! Here's some food for thought: Roxy suffered some trauma from shipping (she just freaked out). That made her lose her hair. It's not like it came out in clumps, you could hardly notice her losing it, really. If your Yorkie went through an injury, it may have been the associated stress. Roxy has a really silky coat and the thinness was very noticable. She's growing back her coat, but very gradually. I hope that helps.. Otherwise, we just have two unique, adorable yorkies!!!! |

| Here is one of Keekee - 6 months old. She is in oil here. Not only breeding can interfere with the coat - food can play a part too. T. Last edited by topknot; 12-20-2005 at 06:19 AM. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | This is really an interesting thread - What other breed has so many different looks ...I NEVER get tired of looking at yorkies and I just love the uniqueness of the breed - Terrier or Baby faced ....mixed or not mixed - they are just so FREAKIN CUTE with personalities to match. And Michelle - that was Chanel with her Eatin Face on - she STILL gives me that look when she's trying to look her very cutest for a bite of MY food...I love that she looks like Bailey - we just cant resist these little faces can we ?....and believe me - it doesn't stop when they aren't a puppy anymore - Yorkies carry their cuteness thru their WHOLE life cycle |

| Awe, poor Wosie in that picture. I think she is very cute . As far as shaving goes you will need to be very careful with how cold it is where you live and make sure she is warm all the time and doesn't catch a chill. I would be tempted also. There was a girl on here who took her Yorkie to be groomed and they practically shaved the whole body...she was sooooo upset. However, she was going to deal with it and have her Yorkie wear sweaters. If you want to shave, I'd look into some warm clothing for her. When I need a quick sweater, I start cutting sleeves off of things that I feel will fit the body (wrist area goes around the neck)...works in a pinch! |

NO! Don't shave her! Let her keep that fluffy puppy coat as long as possible!

| Ha! When I told my husband that I had asked you guys about shaving her, he said "no way! It's winter, girl! What are you THINKING??" lolol Of COURSE I would not think of doing it until it warmed up, but I would love to see her have an even coat someday. One thing at a time! Gotta let the poor girl heal first! We brought Wosie to the surgeon this morning for her followup, and Dr. Lew said she is healing quite nicely, is not favoring her leg, and has a full range of motion. We have to bring her back for xrays in 2 weeks, and after that, she can start short leashed walks. YIPPEE! She's about to BURST from all the retained energy, lol. Thanks again, everyone, for all of your input. YT ROCKS!

| So glad to hear the GREAT news!!!!!! My neighbor's Schnauzer had surgery not that long ago and they shaved the area. Once the hair grew out a couple of inches she took him and had him groomed for the hair to match up a little more. By the 2nd grooming Sunny was all even coated. That hair will grow back quicker than you know and Wosie will look adorable during the process! |

| LOL! I thought it meant that she had oil on her dogs coat, like what some people do with their dogs coat when they show it...or something like that. I think I remember reading on here that people who show have to do that to keep their dogs hair in good shape...now I'm wondering too, LOL!
