| Question About Bear's Coat My Lil Bear is 16 weeks old and is a whooping 3 lbs and in good health. My question is about his coat. Unlike Pasha, my first Yorkie, Bear has a very thin coat that's not very long. He barely has enough hair for a topknot! Is this normal? I've never seen a Yorkie with coat like this. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

| It is normal. Yorkies have all different type of coats thick and thin.

| peanut did she turn out to be silky...the reason i am asking is she looks just like my little Bo so much that if you didnt know any better you would think that was his sister...Bo has alot of silver and it is very silky and so are his legs they are blond....i wish i could post some pics of him so you all could see what you thought |

| Yorkie's coats are a mystery!!!!! There are so many different types. But - often the puppies with the thinnest hair will end up having wonderful, much thicker, silky coats. Have patience! Carol Jean |
