| Looks like he is balding In reality it looks as though my 10 week old boy has a very large part down the middle of his head. You can actually see his scalp in several spots. The hair next to the scalp is turning very grey which I know to expect but my concern is the lack of hair. Is this normal? I keep telling him he is my little old man with thinning grey hair. I would post a picture but I'm at work right now and he is home. I will try to later this evening. |

| I went through the same thing with Baxter (he's 10 months old). About 4 months ago I could've sworn that he was balding but it was just an illusion due to the hair color change. |

| He's Going To Have a Beautiful Coat! Quote:
Here is a quote from one of the stickies titled Coats, Colors and Puppy Growth Chart Thread, http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...rt-thread.html "A puppy whose coat appears sparse or thin will, as an adult, have a thick, long coat of the correct fine silky, glossy texture. This coat’s growth is like a human’s hair, in that it is born with very little but by adulthood has an abundance of hair, the quantity having doubled and redoubled all during puppyhood (or childhood). Both colors will be totally clear. A puppy of around four months, that has changed the color on its head from black to gray to a very pale sooty color, will as an adult enrich all the tan areas to a clear golden tan. The blue will follow the correct manner of transition from black to blue starting to do so around six months. The coat texture will be the correct silky type. "
