Other symptoms of Allergies include sneezing, itchy eyes and nose, rashes, sometimes nausea, increased congestion of the nose and sinuses (which may also include nasal discharge). If the symptoms are less when you are not around the dog or are away from your home then that is another indication that you could be allergic to the dander from your dog or the pollens they are bringing into your home. If symptoms continue or worsen you should check with your physician for possible testing.

Can Ibe allergic to a Yorkshire terrier?

Well, the yorkshire terrier has hair that is identical to human hair. When you are allergic to a dog it is because of a pesky mite called pet dander. Our hair is rich and does not pick up dander. Thus making their hair free of dander, making them hypo-allergenic. Also, since their hair is exactly like ours and we don't shed our hair, they don't shed making them loveable to hold while staying free of fur.
