Yes it does and I have asthma that is usually set off by allergies and if it doesn't make my eyes itch then eventually I will have a harder time breathing....it is not good. I have no reaction to my yorkie and I hold her up to my face all the time!

That is my understanding of it. Let me know what you think  |
I agree that there is no such thing. I have heard the smaller the dog the less the dander which is why we don't react to yorkies. I do remember being very allergic to an old roommates dog and she was a cocker spaniel...cutest thing but I got all stuffed up I would get close to her or pet her...they have a thicker coat and may even have the under coat too.
I don't know why we react to some and not others but I don't like the fact that breeders make more money by advertising hypo-allergenic dogs.
