I will try to be more careful about how tight I make it. The comb trick might help. I thought it was loose enough but maybe not. She still has the thin hair on her back and sheds from everywhere. I am not sure what type of hair she had anyway. I haven't been around many yorkies and each one was different. If anyone would like to look at her pictures and tell me, I would like to know.
