Q+A: Do Yorkie’s Shed?

Do Yorkies Shed A Lot of Hair?

Yorkies do shed, however, the Yorkie’s coat is much more like human hair than a typical dog’s coat. Yorkies don’t have an undercoat so their coat doesn’t shed any more than your hair does.

Yorkie’s shed hair all year long, unlike most breeds which ‘blow’ their coat when the seasons change. This means you are less likely to notice large amounts of hair around your house, as their hair grows and sheds in smaller amounts more regularly.

Yorkies are known for their beautiful long, flowing coats. As you would imagine, keeping the Yorkie’s glamorous coat in perfect condition is very time-consuming. The Yorkie’s coat has a very similar texture to human hair, meaning it tangles very easily if it isn’t brushed it every day.
