The typical fine, straight, and silky Yorkshire Terrier coat has also been listed by many popular dog information
websites as being
hypoallergenic. In comparison with many other breeds, Yorkies do not shed to the same degree, only losing small amounts when bathed or brushed.
All dogs shed,
and it is the dog's dander and saliva that trigger most
allergic reactions.
Allergists do recognise that at times a particular
allergy patient will be able to tolerate a particular dog, but they agree that "the luck of the few with their pets cannot
be stretched to fit all allergic people and entire breeds of dogs."
