I have asthma/allergies and just wanted to let you know no dog is hypo allergenic, no matter what anyone tells you.

If your fiance is allergic to dander, a yorkie will still have dander. Of course they have much less dander than other dogs -- but depending on his level of allergies it could still affect him.

Also, allergies worsen over time usually so although he may not react to a yorkie on first meeting, if dander builds in your home the allergies could become more severe.

I would suggest getting an allergy screening done (if he hasn't already) to see what level of allergic reaction he has to dogs.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting a yorkie as I know many have no problems, but it really all depends on the person!

Good luck!
