Hi there. You didn't say if you are new to yorkietalk, but if you are, welcome to the best forum ever.
I am extremely allergic to dogs. If my parents' staffies' hair gets on my skin, I get hay fever like crazy and where the hair (even a single one) is, I itch and sometimes get eczema. I also get asthma attacks. I have to drink anti-histamines every day.
The good news: I have a yorkie and am not allergic to him at all!!!!! I don't even need the pills most days.
I heard about hypo-allergenic dogs from a friend and decided to research it since I love dogs to bits and always wanted one in the house, but with the allergies I couldn't.
I found a list of hypo-allergenic dogs and the yorkies drew my attention. After a year of research, I decided to get one.
And I have never looked back. Yorkie don't shed at all, so most allergic reactions are eliminated.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!!
