It all depends on if his allergies are to dog dander, dog saliva, or dog fur.
Yorkies have hair and are lower shedders than other breeds due to this fact, so most of the time they are good for allergy sufferers.
However, if your H is allergic to dander or saliva -- all dogs have this, so he may have some allergies.
The allergies are greatly reduced due to the size of a yorkie compared to other breeds.
I have severe allergies and asthma and while I take medication to have my 4 furkids, I still have symptoms sometimes so here's my best advice --
If your H will take allergy medication he will most likely be ok IMO. That should help if his only symptoms are itchy eyes, sneezing, ect.
Buy a HEPA air filter.
Keep the puppy out of the bedroom you sleep in at all times.
Eliminate curtains/carpet if possible.
Groom weekly/bathe weekly and use allerpet solution to cut down on dander.
