Well I don't know a lot about yorkies, but you could always get a miniature schnauzer! They don't shed AT ALL- because they have hair. Not fur. I have one and I love him! Just putting it out there- but hope you have fun with your new dog! & Good luck!! :)

Yo.
Yorkies dont usually need a lot of exersize and dont really shed a lot. But you should walk them and depending on how long their fur is, you should brush them too. Walking and brushing any dog usually makes it happy- and a happy dog is a good dog :D :D
Hope I helped!
Good Luck!!! :D

Yorkies, like nearly every dog, needs exercise at least twice a day.
They don't have an undercoat so shed less than a lot of dogs. There are some breeds of dog that little or no hair. I've included a website with pictures for you to look at. I've also included a website of light shedders with pictures and information about each breed. Good luck with your dog.

You should phone a vet office and ask the receptionist what is the best breed of dog for someone who is allergic to dander and hair? They will be able to rattle off a list of breeds and offer ideas that keep fido and your brother happy.

If its dandruff or hair thats the problem and you're really worried about how your brother will handle it with his allergies I suggest you get a poodle. They don't shed so that should cut down on trouble for him, they come in ALL sizes, and they're very intelligent.
Most dogs shed a reasonable amount if they have long hair or medium hair. Dogs that originally came from a colder area tend to build up more fur for the winter naturally, and thus shed more, too. A quick search on any breed you have in mind could help you figure that out :)
Hope this helped.
