Do you have allergies and are fine around your Yorkie?? My fiance and I plan to get our first Yorkie in January! He has animal allergies, but I have heard from many people that Yorkies are hypoallergenic as they have hair, not fur. We are viewing some on Sunday to be sure before we commit to getting ours in January. I would just like to hear of some of your experiences with allergies and Yorkies. Thanks!! |
I have allegies but I am fine with my yorkie :) Quote:

My daughter also has allergies. I have 3 yorkies and she has been just fine with them. We just find that if she really plays with them she needs to wash her hands after because her eyes and nose start up. It is really not too bad my daughter really has allergies bad when she goes to her friends house who has a german shepherd she has to bring her benedryl. Overall I'd really have to say it hasn't been an issue. Good luck with your baby!:) :aimeeyorkCOCO :aimeeyorkPEBBLES :aimeeyorkTRIXIE |
my nephew has extreme allergies and he does great with my four just be sure to groom regularly. |
I agree I give mine baths once a week or so. When they are dirty that's when it's worse. If I keep them clean it's much better. Besides I don't like smelly dogs.:eek: :aimeeyorkCOCO :aimeeyorkPEBBLES :aimeeyorkTRIXIE |
My hubby has alot of problems with allergies but never has had a problem with our two yorkies. :yorkiesar:happyboun:rollingey Paula |

My son has allergies to animals...and he has not had a problem with our Yorkie.... Go for it girl!! Good luck :>) |
I have allergies and I am fine......we just wash Chino once a week |
NO Problems I have serious Allergies, I cannot be around Cats at all......but I have NOT had any Problems w/my 3 Yorkies. I also have asthma and they do not make me have any Breathing problems whats so ever. I have had them for 4 yrs. now and I do all their "Grooming" and they are very Clean, they even sleep w/me every Night so they have to be! I'm sure you wont' have any problems believe me that will be the last thing you will have to worry about. Good Luck on your Quest to find the Perfect Puppy!:aimeeyork |
I'm miserable with allergies around dogs that shed or bigger dirty dogs, and I simply can't handle cats AT ALL. But I haven't had a single issue with our new yorkie(ish) pup Nikko, and he's all over us all the time. I figure not only do they not shed, but the majority of them are really small too, so whatever bit of allergens they may still carry, there's just not enough dog to produce much. Just be sure to keem him or her bathed and groomed. We're probably planning on keeping a puppy cut for a long time, partially due to the smokin' hot summers here and partially due to it cutting down even more on allergies. But like I said, no allergies for us so far, s'all good. Good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine. :-) Lauren & Nikko |
Not only do I have terrible allergies, my sons do to. So, bad that we have to watch whose friends houses they can go to sometimes. I've had yorkies for 20 years and have NEVER had a problem and either have the kids. I think you'll be fine! |
Thanks for the help!! Wow--thanks for all the help! This site is amazing! You all are so friendly. From what all of you have said, it looks like we will be able to get our Yorkie! It is cold here in Canada (-10 celcius):rain: right now, so I will have to get her a coat or sweater and booties for the winters walks! Do you all go to a groomer to get haircuts? Or do you do it yourself? What is the average price? Thanks a lot for the help!:) |
Yes, I am allergic to dogs. I think I am mildly allergic to dogs. My allergies only bother me when I cut my Yorkie's hair. When I cut my Yorkie's hair, I cannot stop sneezing. I just avoid cutting my dog's hair to stop allergies attack and take them to the groomers. Sometimes, I cannot allow my dogs to lie on my bed, because I start to get a stuffy nose. I think they bring some of the allergens inside my house. In the spring, I try to wash them once a week to get rid of allergens like mountain cedar. |
My grandmother has COPD and Callie curls up in her lap all the time and my grandma does really well but if she is around a dog with fur she cant breath well and her eyes start to water. |
