I think it is some kind of food allergy. Diesel is going on 2 years and he doesn't shed. Even as a pup he didn't shed. They have hair and not fur. So it is to be expected to see a hair every now and then. We all loose hair here and there. I have never known a Yorkie to truly shed like German Shepherds, Golden Rets, Labs, Chihuahuas, and so on.

I do know that a lot of dogs are allergic to Dried Beet Pulp. I use to feed Diesel the same food and his eyes really started to water. I took him off of the food and started feeding him Innova. His eyes have cleared up a lot!

I would have him checked for an allergy or switch his food and see if it helps. He really shouldn 't be shedding like that.
