I think with poms its that thick undercoat and it holds the dander in more.  I believe its actually the dander that makes one's allergies act up.  With the dogs with no undercoat, they are usually groomed more often hence less dander flying around.  Of course, I thought I was allergic to a rabbit we got for our daughters years ago and come to find out, I was allergic to dust and mold (which was in a couch we received as a hand-me-down).  But not allergic to any animals - thank goodness!
