I feel for your mom. I'm allergic to dogs too, and yes that includes my yorkie, but to a much lesser extent. Things I've done to combat this:

-Baths. Lots and lots of baths. Kaji's hair is thick and fluffy. It picks up everything and can hold on to his dander very well. If he is not clean, I experience shortness of breadth. In the bath he goes!! Short hair and a bath with Yorkie Splash and Shine shampoo and conditioner at least every 3 days keeps it at bay. Other dog shampoos don't get him as clean as I need, or give me a rash. Yes.. dog shampoos give me a rash. I'm all sorts of miserable.

-Clean everything! But this is because I sleep with him in bed. My sheets are washed weekly and his beds are washed every 2-3 weeks. He hardly uses the dog beds, so I can get away with washing those less. I'm also allergic to dust, so my room has to be dust free. The rest of the house does too, but I sleep and spend a considerable amount of time in my room which makes it my primary point of concern.

-Short hair. Kaji's holds on to less dander if his hair is short. I love his long fluffy hair. It bounces so nicely when he walks. But, as cute as that is I would like to breathe, so I cut it every 6-8 weeks.

-No carpet. I experienced less symptoms when we had hard wood floors everywhere in the house. Now I bought a new home with carpets and I'm miserable. I can't wait to change the flooring in the house.

It's not perfect but I find doing the above makes things manageable. I still get red eyes and cracked/broken skin occasionally. I keep allergy eye drops everywhere, and special eye washes to combat the dryness. (it's johnson and johnson baby shampoo. My eye doctor recommended it)
