 pet allergies
If you are allergic to a Maltese you will likely be allergic to Yorkies or other hypoallergenic dogs. The problem is that you are allergic to the dog dander which all dogs have regardless of breed. Some may be a little worse some may not have as much. Dander is just the normal shedding of skin that all mammals including humans do.
People allergic to dogs like German shepherds, Labs etc are allergic to the actual hair which is different from nonshedding dogs. If you are allergic to shedding breeds of dogs but not Yorkies, Maltese etc, it is the fur you are allergic to.
