SECOND... Youkies are one of the few breeds that DO NOT cause allergy probs. so the DH might want to try going a few days to see if this do really causes him problems. Yorkies have HAIR not fur like other dogs and washing them twice a week will dry out their skin and cause the dog problems... So please be careful. Most people are allergic to dog dander, Yorkies don't have dander. you can look on the web for Hypo-allergic dogs and you will see Yorkies listed.. Good Luck.. So what is a DH?? Thanks. Sharon

I thought so too that's why we went with the Yorkie, but when Paul went to see his allergy specialist after getting Chico, we were told that there are dogs that cause fewer allergy problems, but not a truly allergy free dog. He held off getting the medication for the first couple of weeks, but he was having a reaction (it causes asthma) and had to go get it. Paul's reaction to Chico is not as bad as when he is around his parents' dogs (Jack Russell and German Shepard). I will for sure keep an eye on Chico's skin and coat to make sure he's doing ok. DH is computer chat talk for dear husband. I had to ask my sister when I started comming on this site along with a few others that I didn't know.

Thank you all for your feedback.
