Coat issues, need help!!! 1 Attachment(s) My Emma is a 14 months old, all was going well with her coat (besides that it grows slow) untill a couple months ago. She started to grow tan in with the blue. I have heard it could be a number of things. It not just by the legs, its actually more in the middle of her back too. It could be hormonal, or the tan is running, or i also have heard that darker tan yorkies will have this happen to them. She is a very rich gold almost red. I will try and post a pic. Does any one have any experience with the blue doing this? |
I'll bump this for you. I have no experience with it, but hope you can find an answer. |
Actually I have no idea, but I think she's pretty. Maybe some of the breeders here will have more information. |
it's called "running gold" when the gold hairs intermix with the blue like that. I've heard that some lines have a lot of this...unfortunately, many dye the hair to cover up the fault in the ring..but then they pass along this trait to the puppies they produce |
A lot of it is caused by diet or hormones. I have heard that adding certain supplements to their diet, like kelp, might correct the problem. I have one female that is 9 years old that would get a lot of running gold and then it would go away and come back to the steel blue so I think her's was caused by hormones. |
That is fascinating Barbara. Kelp. Who would have thought it could be corrected. Although this breed's coat does seem to change a lot through the years. I wonder if Kelp would help prevent it? |
