| Coat question Yes another coat question. Anyway my 10 month old yorkie (Snickers) has about 4 different shades of color. From his roots he has 1 inch of silver, followed by 1 inch of coal color, followed by 1 inch of a white-silver color, followed by 1.5 inches of black puppy fur. His hair is easy to groom and feels soft. His tan is very light almost blonde in color. I have also noticed some black and white coarse hairs mixed in also. I wish I could post a picture of him, but can't get them to come up. Anyway, at what age will his color "stabilize", and what is with those coarse hairs? Thanks in advance for the info. |

| Your little boy is adorable. It is normal for a puppy to have different shades on their head. It looks like your boy will have a silky coat. It can take anywhere from 1 year to 2 years for the head to completely clear. |

| He sounds like he looks like my Rowdy who is 11 months. The breeder I bought him from tells me 2 years before they get their always coats. I asked her when Rowdy was about 4 months and he started to look like he was bald because the hair between his ears changed to a light blonde. She reassured me. Rowdy is really easy to groom and his eyes glow green in some photos.

| actually yesterday I was looking at Preston, and flipped out because I thought he had some bald spots, once I picked him up to look though, I noticed that the hair on his back hips is getting almost white close to his body, so when his hair seperates it makes him look like he is bald. I kind of hope he doesn't go as light as the color that is at the roots of that hair right now, as I like the darker back, but even if he does I love my little Prestondoodle. |
