One particularly good attribute of the Yorkie is that the hair is non-allergenic to humans and therefore a great companion for people with asthma, etc. http://www.ozpets.com.au/dogs/review...eterrier.shtml I suffer from an allergy to most dogs, but would love to have one in my life. Can you tell me what breeds are most suitable for allergy sufferers?
In general, the non-moulting terrier types tend to cause less of a problem to people with allergies and asthma. You may also find that a crossbreed containing one or more of these breeds may also be suitable. For example:
Bedlington Terrier
Bichon Frise
Cairn Terrier
Lakeland Terrier
Miniature and Giant Schnauzer
Toy, Miniature and Standard Poodle
Sealyham Terrier
Welsh Terrier
Airedale Terrier
Australian Silky Terrier
Yorkshire Terrier
Irish Terrier
Kerry Blue Terrier
