I believe, and correct me plz if I am wrong, but "hypo-allergenic" is not the same as being NON-allergenic. The same way "hyper" means over/more (like hyperactive) "hypo" means less, or low; as in hypo-glycemia being low blood sugar, not absence of blood sugar. So it would make sense to me that a severely allergic person may still get some symptoms from a yorkie, but not nearly as bad, and most ppl notice no symptoms at all.

I am glad that I only have pollen allergies, lol, of course that won't stop me from gardening

I just order the calm coat oatmeal shampoo. I hope it works for charlie. He has really dry and itchy skin. I only bath him once every 2 wks and he gets the wipes in between. I use the petco wipes.

You're right, I didn't know the true definition of hypoallergenic until I actually looked it up after I read your post (hypothyroidism too which I already knew meant a thyroid that produces less, duh me ). I just took for granted( and didn't think) that when I was told "these dogs are hypoallergenic so people that have allergies won't have a reaction to them", it meant just that. Paul had also interacted with our friend's poodle and had no reaction. We would have gone the Poodle route, but we fell in love with the Yorkies tenacious personality, they are gorgeous, and thought since Paul had no reaction to our friend's poodle we would be safe as long as we stuck with the hypoallergenic listed dogs.
I have pollen allergies too, Paul is just allergic to animals. If I had to pick though I would pick pollen, cause I can't live without animals.
