It is difficult to determine if there's a problem with her coat from the photos. The thumbnails are too small, and the clicked pictures are too blurry. I thought I could see thin hair on her ears. Take her to the vet to make sure there is nothing going on with her skin -- mites or whatever. There are several skin conditions that can cause the hair to thin, and you want to get them attended to sooner rather than later.

Another thought -- what do you feed her? Maybe she's not getting some crucial nutrient in her diet.

She sure is adorable. I wish she was mine. Good luck to you, and let us know what the vet says.

Thank you so much for posting this because the top of Tucker's head is turning white and at first it looked like his hair was thinning but it's actually just the coloring. He looks like a little old man!

I don't think the hair on his muzzle looks thin but I do like to keep it shorter rather than longer. I'll try and post a recent pic of him so you can see the white hair I'm talking about.

awwwwwwww I don't think she's ugly at all! If you're really concerned, take her to the vet and make sure she doesn't have any kind of skin problems, etc. Also, is she eating well and what kind of food are you feeding her? What kinds of shampoos are you using to bathe her? All of these things can make a difference, or maybe she's just going through an awkward stage. Do you have pics of her when you first got her so we can see what the change is that you're talking about? I think she's a little cutie!

Magneticgal · 08-02-2007, 02:14 PM

I think she is cute!!! Please don't say she's ugly!!! They change so much the 1st year-year and a half. Lexie had some silver coloring in her when she was a yr old, now her hair is completely brown and black. Do you feel like you are bonding with her? That is the most important thing. When her adult coat comes in, I personally think she will be beautiful!!!

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 02:16 PM

I have another question she is about 5 1/2 inches tall right now at 16 weeks can anyone tell me how tall she will be cuz I hoping she won't be taller than 10 inches

Txgurl06 · 08-02-2007, 02:21 PM

do you have pics of her before you cut her hair??? i think she is cute and jsut looks like a yorkie! some have more fuller coats.

skoshi used to look bald on his head and then we noticed his roots where a white color so it wasnt really hairless lol!

this is him a long time after his hair really change and we shaved him lol

MissPinkBarbie · 08-02-2007, 02:33 PM

Aww..UGLY??!!

I think she's a cutie! All pups go through the "odd looking" stage..please don't say "ugly"..yorkies have feelings too!

That's like when we were teenagers and hit puberty...not ugly, awkward!

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 02:42 PM

I have been feeding Eukanuba small breed puppy I know it is not a skin condition like mites or mange like I said earlier I just want to know if yorkie puppy getting very thin hair is common. Her hair is just very thin on her face and head and at the bottom of her legs with a new coat coming in

peanut · 08-02-2007, 02:47 PM

Awwww she is beautiful.....Lexie went through that stage of thinning hair, and turning colors, you might want to add some missing link to her food,

hey there - first it was hair - then weight - now height ?

to be honest if she's healthy - that's what matters....The Sick and Emergency section is full of so many dogs who have serious problems that worrying about how tall she'll get seems kind of trivial you know ? She's a puppy and she's YOUR puppy ....just ENJOY her - she's going to get how ever tall she gets - there's nothing anyone can do to stop growth

Txgurl06 · 08-02-2007, 02:51 PM

thats not a real good food! maybe some other people on here can advise some better ones.

aka_yorkie_mama · 08-02-2007, 03:01 PM

5 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder? That's REALLY tiny. Kalina is about 6 1/2 inches and she has a cobby body. But I agree with Red98vett...what does it matter? She's your puppy, enjoy her.
