|  Shedding?? Ok I thought Yorkies did not shed!!! The last 2 weeks my house has had hair and dust balls floating all around the floors every single day! At first I thought I was not cleaning the floors enough  , and I was wondering how in the world these dogs could kick up sooo much dust, where were they finding it because I had just swept or mopped! But today when I brushed them, their hair was just coming out in mounds!  They are shedding like CRAZY! Well my Dex is shedding like crazy, he has a cotton coat, does that matter? Do cotton coats tend to shed more or something?

|  Yorkies don't shed, but they will lose hairs just like we do. The only time I've ever noticed clumps of hair is when Lacy is scratching a lot...she'll leave little balls of hair around. When I comb Rylie (cottony coat), more hair comes off in the comb than when I comb Lacy.

| That doesn't sound normal. It would be for puppies only. They should lose about as much as a human.
