Her husband wants a dog (he grew up with dogs, and wants their son to have the same experience) and my mom thinks that my sister is making up these allergies so that he won't say "Well we'll get such and such a breed because those dogs don't affect people with allergies" I think that she is a hypochondriac, and the majority of her allergic reactions get hyped up in her head.
Anyway, what I want to know is, are there people who are allergic to yorkies???

I will tell you....I have VERY bad allergies and I have a yorkie. It is not the dog itself but the dander that causes the allergies and yorkies have very little and because they do not shed it makes it much less. HOWEVER, when Zoey is outside at the ball park, or playing in the grass or even around other dogs or especially cats... I instantly start to have runny eyes and sneeze and so she gets a bath. Otherwise I am completely allergy free with her. So while your sister is probably not having any type of reaction to your Bear, it may be what is on his coat???
