| My hair looks funny My 3 month old Yorkie, Rowdy is adorable but I have a question for all my fellow Yorkie parents. Rowdy is mostly black at this stage but the hair on the top of his head, between his ears is turning silver. It makes him look bald on top. Also, his legs are silver and that makes his legs look lanky and skinny. Did everyone else notice this with their little ones? How long until the coat turns red? I have an older Yorkie that I rescued and she's blue, silver and red. Little Rowdy looks nothing like her.

| Ah, but of course! The "bald-looking" stage. Hee hee. From my experience, this is pretty normal for this breed. My yorkie baby had that rather unique look for a few months as well, but it'll grow out before you know it. You can try trimming the black hair down to the silver part to make it one color if you would prefer that. Or try taking him to the groomer to see what they suggest. My furbaby just had her one year birthday and the hair on her head is mostly blonde with gray streaks in front of her eyes. I think the multi colored hair is gorgeous! Looks like she had highlights done...lol. Anyway, I hope you can figure something out. Good Luck to you and your puppy! -A: Last edited by Amira; 07-07-2007 at 12:58 AM. |

| This is normal. Just take good care of her coat. Give her a bath every 4 days and use a good isinis brush when drying her. Clean hair grows better and faster. She only needs the ears done and the hair on her pads. Other than that, just enjoy that cute puppy look.
