Thanks for all the input. Looks like it was just wishful thinking about getting a non-shedding yorkie-jack...but no one said anything about the yorkie-poo mix. I was under the impression that mixing the breeds can actually lead to a healthier dog, by breeding out weaknesses of each breed. Perhaps I am wrong, but would really like to hear from those with experience on this issue. Are there certain ailments or weaknesses that plague the yorkie breed?
Since the poodle is also a non-shedder, what are the advantages/disadvantages of mixing these two breeds?
Thanks for all your advice!
