Thin hair
 

My precious little Yorkie is such a cutie:), but I am a little concerned that her hair is rather thin. I would like to know if I am doing something wrong? Could anyone give me some tips such as quality of good, supplements etc. that I might not be aware of?

I'm not sure, but I think if their hair seems thin it means they are going to have pretty, silky hair. I'm sure someone with more experience can give advice.

My Jasper is 8 months old and the hair on his head is just starting to thicken. When he was around 4 months old, it had really thinned out and I was really worried. Took him to the vet and I was assured it was normal for some to do that. His "new" hair is so soft and silky....no mats and very seldom any tangles.:) How old is your pup?

There are various textures in yorkies coats and I had no idea until I actually owned a yorkie myself.I just asumed they all had super long (floor level) coats by default and that´s not always the case.
Milo and Bella are the 4th and 5th yorkies that I have owned in my lifetime, and not one of them has had the same coat.My first yorkie (Lady) had a thin coat thats ends broke so easily that it never got very long because of how fragile it was.Her chest and front legs actually looked bald, that´s how thin it was.Jess (my second yorkie) had a cotton coat that was thicker, but it never grew past a couple of inches no matter what.Chicco (my 3rd yorkie) had a super fine coat *thick* that never ever matted but grew ever so slowly, and now, Bella & Milo have coats that are lovley and so easy to maintain but even so, Bellas is thicker.Their coats also grow faster.
The thing is, as pups, all 5 DID have very similar coats.It´s when the adult coat started to come through that they all changed :)
If your girls hair is thin, make sure you use a good brush to groom her, one that wont break it or pull too much hair out etc.The good thing is, the thinner coats rarely matt :)

Please post a photo if you can--that will give us a better idea of whether her hair is naturally thin, or whether there is something wrong. If her hair is naturally thin, the best you can do is feed her a quality dog food. What are you currently feeding her?

Great topic because I see a cute four month old pup but the hair quality is lacking. I don't know if its diet or what. I saw pics of the parents and the mothers/fathers hair is to the ground, and silky. Not thin but doesn't look wiry and fragile the puppy's. The other parent has a shaved down look so I'm uncertain.
