How long did it take to grow out your yorkies hair?

[lil louis]

I have seen a lot of beautiful yorkies on YT with hair that flows all the way down to the floor. I just want to know how long it took for their hair to grow that long? I have never cut Louis hair (he is almost 2) and his hair isn't to the floor yet. Is there certain products I can use to help it grow faster? Thanks!

I think it has to depend on diet and genes. Some may grow longer then others. I know if they are poorly bred their hair may never get super long. My moms yorkie hasn't had a cut since 4 months, it is pretty long but it's not super silky coat so it's not the best quality of coat IMO. She is about 14 months now. I am hoping Lola gets at least a nice top knot!

As far as products to use, I wish I knew some!

That is right. Just because someone has a yorkie does not mean that every yorkie will grow long hair/coat. It does depends on genes and how you care for the coat. Dresses, grass, etc.. can also mat and damage the coat. And it needs to stay clean without drying/damaging the hair.
If you do everything right and the yorkie has the right genes for growing a good coat - it can take any where from 1.5 years to 2 to get a nice coat in touching the floor.

Here is my just over a year old - he has a nice coat. These are just casual shots playing. I have others over 2 with full coats.

** I never cut my yorkies hair unless it goes past the floor and just trip the bottom where it touches and drags the floor.

Your yorkies are beautiful! What products do you use on their hair?

And here is my baby girl - she is 9 months.

What does your girl look like? How is her coat?

I just use Pantene Shampoo and conditioner. I have used this forever, no matter what people have said. I have tried other products people have recommended, but always go back to Pantene. Works the best for me.

I will have to try that on Louis. Louis has silky hair, and his hair is about an inch from the ground. (FINALLY!)
Are you a breeder? You have such beautiful dogs!
