| Kate Our family just adopted our first yorkie about three months ago. She is five months old. One of the main reasons we chose a yorkie is because they do not shed, or very little. My parents have a ten year old yorkie that I have never seen any shedding. Our yorkie sheds alot. I brush her almost everyday and get a lot of hair in the brush and when she lays on the couch or bed I can see hair everywhere. She also coughs alot and I think its because she gets hair in her throat. Is this normal for some yorkies? |

| First off, I want to welcome you to Yorkie Talk! I don't know what to tell you about the sheeding because my Yorkie does not shed. Good Luck and I know you will enjoy YT as much as the rest of us.

| Well, first of all welcome to YT!!! You're right, normally Yorkies never shed. Can you show us a picture of your baby?? I think that would really help unravel the mystery!

| Welcome to YT!!!! At 5 months, has she been to the groomers? It could be she is getting ready for her adult coat to grow in. Or it coulkd be her diet. Have you talked to her Vet about it? Do you have pictures you could post? Hope someone has some answers for you. Again, Welcome to YT!!!!

| MMmmm...I think I might want to talk to the vet about that. I've never heard of a yorkie shedding, but I'm by far not an expert! Welcome to YT...I'd also like to see pictures! |
