I'm miserable with allergies around dogs that shed or bigger dirty dogs, and I simply can't handle cats AT ALL. But I haven't had a single issue with our new yorkie(ish) pup Nikko, and he's all over us all the time. I figure not only do they not shed, but the majority of them are really small too, so whatever bit of allergens they may still carry, there's just not enough dog to produce much. Just be sure to keem him or her bathed and groomed. We're probably planning on keeping a puppy cut for a long time, partially due to the smokin' hot summers here and partially due to it cutting down even more on allergies. But like I said, no allergies for us so far, s'all good. Good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine. :-)
