I have allergies although I am only slightly allergic to dogs. Mold and cats are my main enemies. LOL Then everything else down from that. It is very true that dogs and that includes yorkies are not allergy free. They are less because they do not shed and have less dander, but still not allergy free. I do get the shots although they will NOT make you not allergic to dogs. I was told that the they are different and they have not made it so you will be "cured" from a dog allergy although cats will improve greatly to be around. I also take Allegra as all over the counter meds make me tired and those work very well! I will sometimes have a problem and I do have to make sure the dogs are bathed every two weeks tops (but hey you want them nice and shiny anyway). When you are around an allergen every day (only if it is not health threatening or anything) you will build up to it adventually. This is the same as the shots that they are actually injecting me with the stuff I am allegic to! When I get around other dogs my allergies go crazy so I do have to double up on my allergy meds when I go to meet ups or anything like that as I have no immune system built up to that dog. Hope that might help and give you hope!!
