Question
What type of hair do yorkie poo's have? Is it like a shih zu's? I have asthma and I want to get a puppy but I need a puppy that does not shed like a normal dog? Is a yorkie poo the type of puppy I should get? If not can you please tell me what would be the best for me?

Answer
Yorkie Poo's could have hair like a yorkie or a poodle. Depends on how the breeding works out. Both have hair that could be OK for your asthma...although no dog is asthma proof. Neither of them shed, but you have to remember that dogs that don't shed, need grooming on a regular basis. It's a fair trade off though. Be careful with yorkies..they are very hard to housebreak. Good luck to you.
