I have a 16 week old female yorkie and she looks ugly now when she was younger she was just adorable. now the hair on her face and legs looks like it very thin. it also looks like a new coat is coming in. has this ever happened to anyone? and how long will it last? when will her beautiful coat start to come in?

Can you post pics, please? Just a note... sometimes it can take 2 yrs before their coats finally quit changing, but we really need to see pics.

Kalina is 16 weeks old and I think she is more "messy" most of the time. She just requires a lot more attention and grooming now that her coat is growing so much and since she's a little "mudpuppy" outside, playing, etc. Please post pictures so that we can see what you're talking about.

my puppy's hair almost looks seperated but when i brush him he is pretty and i think i want to cute it short since he is still a baby...i dont want long hair. but i thought he had a problem but he is not itchy so i didnt think it was a bug but he is just a baby i would love him even if he was purple ..lol

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 07:57 AM

how do i post the pics

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 08:01 AM

her are some pics of her she is AKC registered so i know she is purebred

red98vett · 08-02-2007, 08:02 AM

awwww - I hate hearing someone call any dog ugly - I bet she's just going thru that 'stage' they all go thru when they lose their dark puppy coat -

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 08:04 AM

can u look at the pics and tell me if that is what is happening to her

red98vett · 08-02-2007, 08:13 AM

Since she's so young it very well could be her hair is changing - she's got some pretty dark coloring - or it could be the photo - Can you share where you got her from ??? My girls both went thru a funny hair stage - but if I remember right it was right about 6-7 months old -

Most yorkies go through an ugly duckling stage

Sookie · 08-02-2007, 08:21 AM

She looks older than 16 weeks, but she's a cutie. Once her coat grows in more she'll be beautiful.

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 08:24 AM

I got her for a breeder out here where i live both parents were blue and gold with very beautiful long silky coats like i said when she was a little younger she was very adorable and now her hair looks like this im thinking its just an ugly puppy stage well at least im hoping it is. And as i have mentioned she is AKC so i know she is not a mix. also she is 16 weeks and just under two pound can anyone tell me an estimated adult weight for her

chachi · 08-02-2007, 08:26 AM

You take the 12 week weight and double it so It looks like she will be less than 4 lbs

connieb · 08-02-2007, 08:28 AM

she looks like she needs someone just hold her and love her. i know i would.

akc300 · 08-02-2007, 08:29 AM

so is it normal that some yorkies go through an ugly puppy stage
