Dog coat

[jantheman]

I have a 6 month old yorkie, he is black and tan, but he not as fluffy as a yorkie, will his coat grow as he gets older. I am new to the site, so hopefully will have posted this on the correct site. He is only small and quiet slim, but healthy.

Welcome to YT! If his coat is fine & silky, he's not likely to have a very fluffy coat. Roxy is silky and it grows painfully slow. The good part is that it saves on grooming bills. Some have a cottony coat that seems to be much fuller & fluffy & grows much faster. It's all in the genetics of the dog. Shine a light in his eyes or take a flash picture of him. If eyes reflect green, he's most likely a silky-coated yorkie. Not as much fluff doesn't mean that he's not a yorkie.

Hope you enjoy it here. Always someone here to help. Enjoy!

My yorkie is 6 months old also. I gave her a scissor cut over 2 months ago and it is just now looking like her hair is longer. Was also wondering why it grows so slowly myself. Thanks for posting. Would love to see picture.

I have two yorkies and they have VERY different coats. One has the fluffy/cotton coat and the other more straight silky hair coat. I actually prefer the silky coat. The first one always has tangles in his hair (ALWAYS) and I have to take him to the groomers every 6 weeks to keep his hair short. The 2nd one I can go every 12 weeks if not longer to get his hair cut and his hair never gets tangled. They are both full yorkies. But they are both the cutest things ever!!!
