I have allergies to dogs (and cats) and I'm 100% fine with Loki. I knew that ahead of time as a friend has a Yorkie. I was also OK with her Shih-Tzu. Honestly, I've been around a Maltese only once and I remember being allergic to it, but I swear it's not possible because they have the same kind of hair. All I can say is maybe the Yorkie they were around was not taken care of or had doggie or kitty brothers and sisters? Sometimes bad food can cause a sort of doggy odor. I don't know what to tell ya, freshly bathed Yorkie is pretty hard to be allergic to!
ETA: Poodles and Bichons are supposed to be easy on the allergies, and I am allergic to both. Also my little cousin has terribly bad asthma and severe allergies and he is fine at my house. He loves dogs too, and I love that he can play with Loki without getting sick. |
