| Yorkie Shedding My little pup is about 14 weeks old with a very thick and shiny coat of hair. Over the past week or 2 I have been finding little patches of fur on the carper, small amounts but enough to notice. I had a yorkie poo previously (for 9 years) and no not remember any shedding. Her name is Molly and she seems to be very healthy and I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this. She does have a vet appt tonight for her last shots but I know they don't always know all the particulars of all breeds. She does not appear to have anything medically wrong. |

| You might just bring it to your vets attention. Yorkies normally dont shed. My female lost alot of hair on her back when she was a pup. They tested her for mites but never did find anything wrong with her or any reason to lose the hair. It all grew back and we havent had any problems since.
