I believe, and correct me plz if I am wrong, but "hypo-allergenic" is not the same as being NON-allergenic. The same way "hyper" means over/more (like hyperactive) "hypo" means less, or low; as in hypo-glycemia being low blood sugar, not absence of blood sugar. So it would make sense to me that a severely allergic person may still get some symptoms from a yorkie, but not nearly as bad, and most ppl notice no symptoms at all.

I am glad that I only have pollen allergies, lol, of course that won't stop me from gardening
