What a cutie! The reason why yorkies are considered a better choice for allergy sufferers is that they don't shed, they only have one hair follicle, not the double hair follicles like most breeds. The undercoat is what most breeds lose, and you will find it all over your house making clean up tougher. The dander is a sticky substance like peanut butter, which sticks to the hair, and all dogs have it even yorkies, but since yorkies aren't constantly shedding the dander doesn't go everywhere. Bathing and brushing can keep it in check. Most people are allergic to the dander not the hair. If I were you, I stay on the pills. |
