Hi all

I had put an ad in the yorkies for sale part of this forum. I was going to try and sell our little guy but have had a big change of heart. I had an especially bad day yesterday with my allergies.

and was just so disheartened . I cant take a lot of meds for allergies as they give me a lot of heart palpitations so spend a lot of time with cold clothes on my red sore eyes.

A breeder I got Jackson from came over and looked at our little 11 week old pup (Tommy) and said he will be a silk coated yorkie and will lose most of his soft coat by six to eight months.

I cant give up on him yet.I am so hoping once he gets his silkier coat he I wont be so allergic to him. Jackson doesnt bother me since I got him at a year and a half.

Oh, I so hope that it all works out for you. I understand the suffering of allergies, I too suffer, but thankfully not to the point that I'd have to get rid of one of my kids. What a wonderful breeder to take him back until he grows up some more.

Also remember if you bath him on a regular basis it should help with your allergies. It is usually the dander in the pet hair that people are allergic to so bathing the pet helps. I hope you get to keep him.

Good luck, I hope it all works out ok. Would it help to cut his puppy coat shorter if that is what is contributing to allergies?

My late husband was allergic to cats ... his daughter loved them dearly, but when Barry got around cats his eyes swelled nearly shut, his nose ran like crazy - or worse, slammed shut! But he loved his daughter ... so there was a cat. After a while, he built up resistance to the cat, and he was OK. That was to *that* cat only! any other kitty made him suffer.

I say this because MAYBE you will "get used" to your new pup. You're not allergic to the older one - which is strange: if you were going to be allergic to A dog, you'd think you'd be allergic to ALL dogs. So it very like IS a "time thing", and given enough of it, all will be well - or at least better.

I hope this is the case for you.

Thanks to everyone and your kind replys.

I hope Lee you are right and I will get over this allergy. Maui Girl I might try your suggestion and cut his hair short . Never thought of that.

and T Lynn yes bathing him is supposed to be good so we are doing that.Thanks
