The color change is very common. Usually the hair on the head will turn silvery white...... all 3 of mine have done this.... once they get a little older it is suppose to turn a tan color.
As far as shedding.... I don't think so. My dogs shed very little. You may consider asking the vet if you are noticing too much hairloss. It could be something that needs attention..... Yorkies seldom shed.
