I know alot of people have asked this question, including myself, and I think I have finally figured it out....Yorkies dont shed, but then where does all there black hair go when the new coat comes in? Its not there anymore? My oppinion is, it breaks off. It makes since to me ,thus finding a pet hair here and there on your shirt or couch ect... Thinking their shedding ,but really their not. I think pets get dead ends in there hair the same as we do,and thats how they loose their puppy coat.
