Did your puppy have soft hair? My baby is about 5 months old now. When we got her she had smooth, soft, shiny hair. Now its dull and kind of rough. Do I have a defective haired princess? I tried putting coconut oil on it last weekend. I tried feeding it to her but she won't eat it. Just wondering if this is a phase and her hair will be soft again? |

First, let me say that there is NO SUCH THING as a defective yorkie. As yorkiediva stated it could be her food. If you can't get her to take coconut oil, have you tried fish oil? Also, if she's 5 months her adult coat should be coming in and the two textures (puppy coat vs adult coat) can make her feel odd texturewise. What type of shampoo/conditioner are you using? Do you brush/comb daily? I use CC's Day to Day, Ice on Ice, and a 27 mm pin brush. It keeps my yorkies silky and soft. It also could just be genetics...What type of coats did her parents have? |
Sunni will be 6 months next week and her coat has changed quite a bit in the past month. I was beginning to think she had a cotton coat, but its not. She had a hair growth spurt this week, and it is silky and straight...theres an actual part down her back:) The color is also changing mostly around her face and top of her head. Definitely goldenish. I'm not even sure what its called. If I were to compare it to a human hair color, I''d say kinda blonde. She does get coconut oil mixed with yogurt for breakfast everyday..and only use the minimum amount of a puppy shampoo and a good conditioner (Lots of that). Aslo a product I was told about here, from Isle of Dogs, Silky Coating Brush Spray. Its Jasmine & Vanilla..very nice. I think it helps with the shine factor. |
My puppy's hair was soft when I got him at 5 months and is still the same now at 1 yr old. But his brother's hair, who was also soft at 5 months is slightly more rough now. My breeder has suspected the different hair types though - they're pros at knowing these kind of things though. It's just like the different textures of hair between people. Hehe I maybe my baby takes after my silky long hair..jk Like ColesMommy01 said, there's no such thing as a defective yorkie. I give my baby organic unrefined coconut oil and he LOVES it. It helped to get rid of all his dandruff too. |
It could just be a stage / transition, but it's so tough to say. |
