Senior Yorkie Talker | puppies hair is a hot mess lol HELP When I got my first Yorkie he was 9 weeks old and already had silver/grey hair showing on the top of his head. I bath him once a week and I use oatmeal shampoo and condintioner and also a detangler. I brush him daily with a conditioner/detangler diluted with water in a spray bottle but his hair is matted as soon as I finish brushing him. His hair also breaks off where the black part of his hair meets the new silver hair thats growing in. His hair is dry and brittle and looks horrible. I think he has a cotton coat because the texture isnt silky at all. His hair is all over the place and wont lay down and I don't know what to do with it. Please help.. Any advice would be great. I'm at a loss for what I can do. |

| sounds like a puppy cut is called for. It will help remove the dark puppy hair and the rest will be much more managable

| I use Yorkie Splash & Shine on Fancy & I just love it. She is a member her on YT & gives YT discounts. Her websit is: Yorkie Splash and Yorkie Shine | Yorkie Shampoo and Yorkie Conditioner The products leave your little one smelling so good for days & it organic. She has trial sizes if you just want to try it out before buying the larger size. I could almost bet that once you use it you will continue using it. Fancy's hair is so soft & shiny now & she also has a spray on detangler that I love. Thanks Yorkie Splash & Shine for such a great product.. |

| What a sweet boy, I think he's adorable in both his before and after shots! I found with Fizz that grooming became much easier with each incremental trimming of the the puppy coat.

| What great before and after photos. I just adore those big ears!! And you will love the Yorkie Splash and Shine. So far my boys have used it twice and I can't get enough of the smell.

| He is a cutie for sure. Next time, I would ask them to tip his ears and I think you will be really happy with the look. The first time a groomer asked me if I wanted one of my yorkie's ears tipped I was shocked and said NO! Crazy me, thought they were going to cut his ear! Then I found out that just meant to shave the hair off the top third of the ear. Makes them look so much neater!

| I'd trim his ears. And in case you hadn't noticed it by yourself, clothes make the hair matted. Hang in there, it'll get easier once he's changed to adult coat. |
