Hiya,
I've had two yorkies with allergies.
My first yorkie had skin allergy from pollen and my yorkie now has allergies which affect his eyes after running through freshly mown grass.
I tend to keep him inside on high pollen days and he's better for it so I think, yes, your dogs can get allergies and they do seems to manifest young if they are particularly sensitive. That has been my experience anyway
