Are Yorkies hypoallergenic?

Yes, Yorkies are considered a hypoallergenic dog breed . While no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, their fine and silky coat sheds less, which can help reduce the amount of hair and dander in the environment.

It’s important to note that allergens are not only present in a dog’s hair but also in their skin cells, saliva, and urine. Even hypoallergenic breeds can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. 

Regular grooming practices such as brushing and bathing can help reduce allergens on a dog’s coat and skin. Spending time around Yorkies before bringing one into your home is recommended to gauge the potential for allergic reactions.
