Unfortunately, this is very true. I had the same reason for looking for a purebred yorkie. I have allergies to dogs and cats, and well... anything fuzzy and cute. I'm allergic to my baby as well, I just have mild symptoms compared to what I would have when I'm with a chihuahua, german shepard, or what have you. Think it over some more. If you and your family members can live with "mild" symptoms, then a purebred is the way to go.
