What is the best kind of dog you can have if one of your kids is allergic but still wants one2007-11-25 2:51:47

Yes, my brother's kid has an allergy to pet fur.but she really wants one. Any suggestions?

Answers:

No dogs are hypoallergenic. Stay away from the designer/hybrids, they are the WORST! Some are better than others. The child can also be allergic to the saliva. I honestly would skip it for now. The shots and medicine just aren't worth it. None of the household filters work.

It looks like a lot of these people aren't very well acquainted with allergies and allergic reactions. Taking a sick kid to the ER at 3am because they are having trouble breathing is a real laugh riot.

A dog that is fairly hypoallergenic - Poodles, Goldendooldes, Labradoodles, Bichon Frise or very short haired varieties.

Poodle

Shih Tzu

Bichon frise

Maltese

a breed of dog that either hairless or has short hair and doesnt shed as much. What might also help is a lot of benadryl.

We had a Yorkshire Terrier.

They are really hairy, yet the 'dander' didn't seem to bother me or my skin.

Chihuahuas also never bothered me, nor did poodles.

Shih tzus,maltese,yorkies,poodles,b... cresteds i hear, Basicly the non sheding breeds. You could also go with what they call a designer dog which is a cross of the two. Cockers spaniels are also no shed dogs so that means low allergys. Short hair dogs have more allergen problems as they shed alot and loose lots of dander.
