I don't think it is just the size it also has to do with the type of
fur vs hair. Yorkies have hair and I believe Pom's have very thick fur with an undercoat.
I agree that Yorkies seem hypoallergenic I just don't think any dog should be labelled with hypoallergenic if they are not~I don't think it's okay for breeders and pet stores to get away with getting more money because they brand certain dogs with hypoallergenic.
Even hairless dogs carry a certain amount of dander which can cause allergies~all people react differently.
I just think there are certain dogs that are better for for people with allergies (and one of them is yorkies) and certain dogs that make allergies worse.
I am the same way as your husband I can be around one type of dog and get no reaction and be around another and I won't be able to breathe and I want to scratch my eyes out!

So they can say whatever they want to say . There are some breeds of dogs that do not cause allergies to my husband, none, not at all. And other breeds and animals he not stand.
I do not need much more than that .
