Question Getting a dog to urinate

I searched the threads and could not find anything, so here goes. I have a 13 month old male yorkie, Moses, and he will not pee! I cannot get him on any kind of schedule. I take him and my other yorkie, Isabel, outside first thing in the morning; she goes every time, sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. This is after sleeping at least 8 hours straight. I take them out as soon as I get home, same thing. If he goes then, I know he won't go at bedtime. But if he doesn't, 99% of the time, he doesn't go until morning. Now, I know a dog has to go more than 1x a day, so I'm sure he is using the carpet or throw rugs, but I can't find it and I can't catch him. I've tried the belly band, he waits til it comes off. Pee pads are always available, Isabel uses them I know, but I don't think he does. When we go for walks, he rarely will lift a leg, and here is Izzy marking everything she sees. It's driving me crazy. I have never seen a dog that will not pee. I can take him out alone and wait while he sniffs around for up to 20 minutes and he never goes. I got him from a breeder who was training him for show; is it part of their training not to mark or pee on command, or at least more than once a day? He eats and drinks what I think is normally and is fine in every way. Any suggestions are appreciated
