Is there a family member or friend who could keep him for you for a while and see what happens later?

I mean could they keep Emmit...not your husband...or, well, whichever would work best I guess! LOL!
I think I've read that a dog's saliva can set off a person's allergies, not just hair. I had problems with my allergies and asthma pretty much as soon as we got Yogi and he's a year old. I think that people can still be allergic to Yorkies but not suffer as badly as with other dogs.
