I also have 2 yorkies. totally different too. Kizzys hair is soft silky and so easy to brush but its growing slowly and it seems thin to me. she weighed 9.8lbs at the vet Friday she is 8 months old. On the other hand, maggie is 4 months old, weighed 3.3 lbs friday at the vet also. Her hair seemed more cottony at first. Now its soft yet still not silky. it use to mat up but lately she rarely has a mat. Her hair is growing much faster than kizzys. So maybe the silk hair on some just grow slower than some or maybe it grows slower than the cottony. I only know their totally different yet they both have their ways that you cant describe that makes one as lovable as the other, big or little. I am beginning to wonder if kizzys hair will ever be near the floor or get thicker. But either way, shes a keeper. But I do hope her hair does get longer and thicker. it seems to have started growing a little more than it did for a while, still thin looking tho to me. your puppy looks fine to me. As you can see on these threads most all of them look different.

she's really cute. Teddy looks bald at the top of his head but I was told he will be silky coat cause his hair is really fine.

Well guys it is great to know that she doesn't has a hair growth problem. All of your fine haired babys are cute. I don't really care about her hair though. She is the sweetest most loving little bug you could ever meet. I had a trainer come today to help me with a few things and she said that Molly was one of the best behaved yorkies she had ever meet. The little bugger was just like my kids they always behave in public or when you have company. But when your alone all bets are off. Hee Hee. ConnieK

Yorkies that start out with thin coats are usually the ones that end up with the standard silky Yorkie coat. Ones with the really thick coats usually end up with cottony coats. When I first got Titan, at 6 mo, his hair was bad. He had some longer hairs, but most were shorter hairs. I trimmed the longer ones off. Now he just turned a year old and his coat is pretty nice. Very silky and finally getting longer. I've been told that you want your Yorkie hair to feel similar to people hair. Here is a pic of titan now.
