I do hate to say this ... my friend has always been allergic to dogs, and she is just as allergic to my yorkies as she is to any fur shedding dog. Its sad.

I don't know what exactly she is allergic to either, dander maybe? Whether my dogs are freshly groomed or dirty or my house is freshly cleaned or dirty... she is allergic either way. She can't stay in my house for more than 30 mins at a time without having to take something like claritin or benedryl.
