The hair almost consistent to that of human hair needs daily brushing and regular grooming. Many people who seem allergic to dogs find they can actually tolerate a Yorkie. This is because the Yorkie is a long haired breed which has no undercoat; this means that they do not shed hair as much as most short haired breeds. Another plus side with the Yorkies coat is there seems to be a lack of the unpleasant ‘wet dog’ odour when the dog is wet which seems to never go away.
