Will Her Hair Grow????
 

Ok, I'm such a paranoid when it comes to my Gracie. See her pictures:
on her own myspace page:

(I would put pics up, but Im new and dont know how yet)

Ok, I read, researched, and did as much as I could before i bought her. And I love her with all my heart, and would never ever change anything about her. Never. But I can't help but worry if she is a true Yorkie. I see so many pictures and I see quite a few that often resemble her somewhat. But her hair is taking so long to grow. (I think?) She was born Nov 18th, that makes her 5 months. What do you think? Does she look like she will have the long straight coat Maybe? I have another Yorkie, his name is Bailey, I will post a topic about him after this one. When do they usually stop growing, and when will her hair be at full length? Or I should say whats the typical time for a Yorkie to have a full coat? Am I being too paranoid. I am, because she is CKC, and after I purchased her, I've heard all sorts of rumors about the CKC (continental Kennel Club). That they will just allow anything into their CLubs. So, I guess to be blunt, Im worried, she may be mixed, and her papers are false saying she is a Yorkshire Terrier. please tell me Im going crazy?
Thanks, and its nice to be on the boards!

Hi there, welcome to YT.
My name is Anne and my yorkie is called Pippa.
I wouldnt worry about Gracie's coat too much,my Pippa's coat took ages to start growing but now it grows so quick im forever giving her a trim :D

Thanks
 

I am just insanely driving myself crazy over this, People look at her and laugh it off at me, because they know how much its bothering me. They say oh shes inbred, oh shes a mut, oh she's mixed. Of coarse they say this just kidding, because they know it bothers me. We have the weirdest way to show love in our family. But neways, I love her so much, I guess I am worried. But thanks, I just hope it grows, it seems like her hair isnt moving since we brought her home. Maybe Im just not noticing. :aimeeyork

Don't worry too much about her length, she is still a puppy. It may all depend on what texture of the coat. Cotton or silk. I posted the almost the same topic as yours but mine had to do changing colors and what does texture have to do with it. So what texture is she?

I can't see it...stupid firewalls. Is there a way you can post pictures here?

She has a silky texture when she gets out of the bath..and is dried after the bath, it takes two days, and her hair feels more like its a wiry feeling, but fresh and clean, she has a silky texture. Aww Im glad I found a place like this. I've been looking everywhere.

awwwwwww looky at your gracie, give me a few moments and I sure will try it out.

Welcome to YT. to post pictures here, scroll down from where you write your message to where it says manage attachments, then browse to find your pictures. if they are to big, and you arent able to resize them, you can PM me for my email address and email them to me and I will resize them for yhou.

I have read that some yorkies take three years to get a floor length coat and some have it by 18 months. It just depends on the dog. There is no one "normal" anything when it comes to yorkies.

here is a pic of gracie
 

ok let me try this... :p

Your Yorkie looks very similar to my Yorkie!!!

Mine will be 5 mths on May 9th...

I'm going to take her to get all her puppy her trimmed in hopes it'll grow out nice. :rolleyes:

Ahh, she's cute and looks all yorkie to me :)

oh they do look very similar, see your post puts me at ease. I see so many pics, I guess Im being paranoid.

so I should take her to get her hair trimmed at such a young age if I want her hair to grow long? would trimming her now help her hair grow faster like it does us humans?

She looks like a yorkie to me. :p But in your situation, it just takes time. My yorkie, Jeremiah, has fast growing hair and he has cotton-texture hair but he can't seem to change colors like a yorkie with a silk coat.

That's what I've been told... well, not necessarily that it'll help it grow faster, but healthier!

BTW- Bella is AKC registered. Just thought I'd tell you that since you were worried about yours looks and being CKC. I brought my daughter in here to see your pics and she kept saying "Not uh... that's Bella!!!". :)

gee thanks yall! I love this place...:)
 

Do you guys see the picture of Bailey??? WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE HUH? Hes such a good boy. I miss them so much, Im at work, they are at home...:( I miss them every day. 2 more hours and I will see my babies...yay!!

:hearts-xx Gracie, :hearts-xx Bailey, & their Mommy :hearts-xx

See Im getting the hang of this... yeah I about got it!!
:wink:
