Yorkie coats are not suppose to shed - they can however scratch and pull
out their coat/hairs.
Yorkies with the terrier coat (rough coat) will never grow a long coat, especially on the legs.
We see a variety of coats since there are many people that breed and do not know the standard, so they do not know which is correct.
Silky correct coats grow the easiest and fastest.
Cotton coats can mat easier and is more difficult to grow to floor length, but can with great care and they have a lot of hair - amount/thickness.
Wavy coat is not correct either to the standard.
* I hope this helps.
