Not just Yorkies, all dogs shed, so if your child is allergic to dogs then keep him away from ALL dogs. Not just Yorkies, even if they tend to shed a lot too.
It all depends on the individual. My children and I have Asthma and our Yorkie doesn't bother us at all. I do bathe him every couple days as well as take him to the groomer every other month, just to keep all of our Allergies in check (even his!)

Are Yorkie terrier bad for kids with asthma?
Yes it is the dog has fur which is what triggers asthma The dog I have is a shih tzu, which has hair instead of fur. The only disadvantage with a dog with hair is hair grows fast and the dog will need to have his/her hair trimmed more often like ours.
Are Yorkie puppies bad for kids with asthma?
i would suggest a shih tzu as a dog for a child because they don't shed but unless your child is allergic to dogs it shouldn't effect Yorkshire terriers are bad around children, period. They are overly needy, aggressive, and nearly impossible to completely housetrain. Get a golden retriever or another actual dog. Yorkies have not earned that title. As someone with asthma, and children with asthma, I do NOT suggest a shihtzu; my grandmother has one, and it actually does bother my asthma and allergies. Our YORKIE is great with our kids and all of our friend's kids...he LOVES to play (nicely) with them and has never gotten aggressive with them. His hair doesn't bother any of our allergies or asthma...he's PERFECT!!
