i do hold her and do love her i just want to know if this kind of thing happens to thier puppy coat as i have never had a yorkie puppy before. i have two other yorkies but i got them when they were older

chachi · 08-02-2007, 08:32 AM

Yes it is normal. Alot of them get white hair on their heads and it looks like they are balding. That white turns into rich tan or gold later on

Hello 300!

How are you? I'm in Fontana too! How neat that you got a sweet lil baby! Congratulations!

I have had two other pups before at this age. Their coats were very different, as well as their colors. But like somebody else posted, the pics you posted are kinda dark so its hard to tell.

I'm not an expert but agree with most here about how much a yorkie's coat can change through their young lives. I don't know of any AKC breeders in our area. Did you get to see any of the other pups? Best of luck with your new lil pup!!

Hi i got her from a breeder in san bernardino she had 8 adult breeders total i did indeed see one of her littermates the other one was a female as well but her whole puppy coat looked like it was almost completly out with a short new coat coming in

Awwww. I dont think she is ugly at all. Give her some time. Put her in a cute little pink dress and she will be good to go.

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 09:51 AM

Well we just got her hair shave cuz she kind of looked a little funny becuase the hair on her back was really long and cuz the hair on her face was really thin with a short coat under the thinner hair she looked like a poof ball with a small head now she looks much cuter has anyone elses yorkie gone thru this hair lose like my yorkie puppy

simplyyorkies · 08-02-2007, 09:59 AM

It sounds like she is just going thru the natural change of color. Also she may have naturally thin hair. Have u checked with the vet to see if there is a skin issue? If u are very concerned I would definitely take her to your vet.
Honestly I love the light, dark, light ring she has on her muzzle. I love when they go thru the changes - almost overnight the coloring on their heads, legs and chest become more prominent.

She is just gorgeous, and I'm sure she'll become even more beautiful as she grows! Yorkies go through stages, and she is in an "awkward" one. (I prefer awkward to the "u" word.

)

sweetestkiwi · 08-02-2007, 10:15 AM

I think she is adorable.

Yorkiekids · 08-02-2007, 10:22 AM

I never thought my yorkies were ugly. Just funny looking when I was trying to grow their hair in. Now I groom them once a day and they look great

You should post a picture. I am sure there are breeders here that can help you.

judyeve · 08-02-2007, 10:55 AM

It's really hard to tell from the pictures honey. What about asking the vet?

I know I don't believe in worrying even though it does cost money to go to the vet. I'm the type who can drive myself crazy if I'm worried about Max. It just doesn't pay.

She's certainly not ugly. She's actually very beautiful.

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 11:08 AM

here are some more pics of her maybe you all can see what im taking about now and tell me if that happens to some yorkies

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 11:10 AM

here are two mmore pics of her

paulapoo · 08-02-2007, 11:15 AM

I think she's adorable. My Otis went through an awkward stage with his coat and being very clumsy. I bet her coat will come in beautifully!!
