Help all you dog lovers out there.

That is a tough decision..If allergies are a big problem you may not want to get a dog at all..You would have to be around several different types of dogs to see which ones you are allergic too..my husband is allergic to pomeranians..there are alot of dogs that don't shed but you still can be allergic to them..

I have two adorable miniature poodles. One is white with black patches and the other is black. They do not shed any hair but a bit comes out when grooming. They need to have their coats clipped about every 8 weeks. When I got my first one I took him to a dog groomer and he always came back looking different to how I had asked. My friend lent me her dog grooming kit before I decided to buy my own. These days I do the coat clipping myself. I suggest you take your son to a few poodle breeders. He might not be allergic to them. There are three sizes: standard, miniature and toy. In the USA I have heard they have one extra type: tea cup. The standard needs a lot of walking every day. They have a friendly sort of personality and get on very well with people, especially children. On one side they are wonderful companions for lovely country walks they are also loving, soft and cuddly.

Hi there. Well you can always get one of those robotic dogs, that shed nothing but flat batteries lol... I have a pitbull, who 3 weeks ago had given birth to 10 more of them lol, at the moment we are looking for homes for these dogs and I think they would malt/loose fur as well, because there mother does. Maybe a little chuahua sheds less hair, but they are little vicious things, my grandma use to have 2 of them...

Does this make perfect sense to you? Why bring discomfort to yourself and your son? Why not switch to a Rabbit or Hamster? A 4 yr old is easily pleased. (lucky you).Switch to another and safer animal. Face up to it. A dog is a dog is a DOG. You and your son will get reactions for sure! Is it really worth being sick and uncomfortable?

Never fear I'm here. LOL I know just what you need. My kids were the same way. We got a poodle mix and we had no problems. Our Scooter was half po0dle and half Lassa Apssa ( I cant spell it). A poodle or poodle mix would work for you. Get one from a good breeder not a pupple mill.

pretty tough..i dont know how will you able to get a dog for your little girl if you said your sona nd you had allergies.. for me, i have a mix terrier..he is lovely and very sweet but has lots of fur..but i dont think furry dogs are good enough in your home..

The best dog for those with allergies is the poodle .. they do not usually shed and my mom has one and she is full of allergies. Toy poodles are nice and like the regular sized poodle,don't shed their hair.

Poodles don't shed at all. They do need to be groomed and have their fur/hair cut. Their fur never stops growing just like human hair, and they come in different sizes. The standard is about the size of a Doberman, the teacup can fit in your hand. There are other kinds of dogs that don't send your allergies through the roof as well, non shedding types. Here are a couple of websites to help you: Dogs Considered Good For Allergy Sufferers http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/allergy.htm Hypoallergenic dog breeds - Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoallergenic_dog_breeds Hope this helps.

We have a chihuahua/yorkie mix. She doesn't shed at all. You can even run your hand through and try to pull her hair out and she won't shed! She is great with kids, and only weighs 4 pounds. Yorkies are very smart dogs and easily potty/crate trained. Fair warning though...mine loves biscuits straight from the oven! lol

I was going to say poodles but it seems you already have that covered and some great sites to visit. You do realise that if your daughter is only 4 you will be doing most of the work involved in having and training a dog. You will need to train it and if you get a puppy your children might not like it thinking they are puppies too and play-fighting with them. Puppies have little but sharp teeth. All that being said, they are great fun and you will not regret it after planning correctly as you are.
