Most of the dogs on this thread are 4-6 months old. Mandy is 21 months. She didn't shed any noticeable amount back when she was 4-6 months. She started about 2 months ago and it's everywhere - but no, she's not balding.
Should I be alarmed or is she just a late bloomer?

Is your Yorkie a mix? Could she have some systemic problem causing the unusual hair loss? I have had 3 Yorkies over the years and non of them shed coat. They lost dead hair as people do but did not officially shed. Unless your baby is a mix that might be shedding due to other breed coat tendencies, she should not be losing a lot of hair. I almost never find any of Tibbe's hair, even at bathtime. I do find some hair in his brush but only a little daily. Might get her checked by the vet just to be sure she has no worms or something. Best wishes to you and your darling baby(love the picture and that little face).
