Oh yeah. I got my Yorkshire terrier Clyde at an older age, too. He doesn't have a cotton/soft coat, but I didn't get to start working with him on grooming until he was much older and it is impossible to touch his legs with a brush (he bout has a panic attack every time). So I just trim Clyde's leg hair short, too.
They most definitely are like little swiffers!!! Dexter's hair picks up everything and anything. There is no telling what you might find tangled up in his hair.
If I don't brush Dexter's hair at least every two days, though ... he starts looking like a homeless dog. I'm not kidding either... this picture is the end of the third day without brushing and it looks like he hasn't been brushed out in a week or more
