| Coat Question~ I am assuming at 2 years of age, my little male is not going to clear his coat around his face. His muzze is a tan, but the top of his head is silver. On top of that, his coat is a much darker color on his back than on his butt and head. It almost looks as if he's still holding his puppy coat. It's literally both a different color and texture than the rest of his coat. It's not silky, shiny or silver. It's more black and is more coarse. I am wondering if he is like this because he was basically starved and not taken care of as a puppy before I adopted him?? He was severely malnourished when the rescue captured him and even when we acquired him from the rescue. |

| Poor boy, having a rough start. I think this could have had some impact. His coat could still change. My boys are 3 and 4 and their coats are still changing.

| It could be his lack of a proper diet or since he is a rescue dog it could be poor quality in breeding. I agree that the coat will continue to change. It is not uncommon in Yorkies to see changes in their coats for several years. He is fortunate to be a rescue that found a loving family. |
