|  Is sparse hair on legs normal? MeSo has the thinest hair on her legs. Everywhere else looks normal. I think I've seen yorkies with thin hair on the legs, so is it normal? Could it just be genetics? I would get a photo, but she never holds still, not for one second.

| Barney's leg hair seems sparse also. However, he is a parti carrier and has light colored hair on legs and face. His leg skin is kind of dark. I assume that part of why his leg hair looks sparse is because of the color contrast between skin and hair.

| Uni has sparse hair all over, but especially on her hind legs. Seems like the only place her hair grows is on her head and front arms. As far as normal? Well I have sparse hair also. I don't think I have a condition, but I wouldn't say that it's normal. But is it concerning? Not really.

| Zoey's hair is thin and very slow growing. Her legs are especially thin. Just genetics.

| Harry's hair is MUCH thinner on his legs than elsewhere on his body...when I get him groomed I ask for his leg-hair to be kept that much longer to kind of make-up-for-it....otherwise he looks a bit like a chicken.....!!!
