Comments: While growing up, my family had at least two
dogs in the household at all times. As my husband is allergic to
dogs, I resigned myself to being "dogless" until we heard about
Portuguese Water Dogs. We now have two and my husband has no
problems at all, they even sleep in our bed at night.

Comments: Hi! We are thinking of purchasing a Glen of
Imaal terrier- we think they're really cute and playful. However, a
member of our family is allergic to dogs. Is the Glen terrier
non-allergenic or a possibility for allergic people? If you could
respond, it would much appreciated! Thanks! --- Bonmar@mediaone.net

Comments: We have had two Lhasa Apsos for 12 years now and
my wife who is allergic to high shedding breeds has shown no
reaction. However we have now added a puppy soft coated wheaton to
our colllection and my wife appears to be showing some allergic
reactions. Has anybody got any ideas for products, or practices that
may reduce the effect this puppy is having on my wife

Comments: My husband & I and little boy are all allergic
to some types of dogs. We want to get a pet very badly, our problem,
though, is that we have these names of non-allergenic dogs, etc.,
but how can we find one to spend some time with before we actually
buy one? I called our local SPCA here in Halifax, NS, but you can't
put your name on a list or anyhthing incase they happen to get a
Wheaton Terrier or whatever in. You have to keep calling and
checking with them. But does anyone know if you can go to a breeder
and spend time with the dogs to see if there's any reaction? I'd
like to do this, however, would rather adopt a dog, instead of
paying hundreds of dollar for one...Any suggestions, anyone?

Comments: I have a Westie who has a terrible odor coming
from his ear. It also has a blackish colored discharge. My vet gave
me an ointment for him and also gave Caesar a steroid shot. They
said it "may" be allergies and if it returned he would have to be
tested and it's very expensive. Well it's returned and I need to
take him back. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Help!!!

Comments: I am highly allergic to dogs, and they cause me
very bad asthma, sneezing, etc. I have heard that the Coton de
Tulear (the Royal dog of Madagascar) has less dander than others. I
am also considering the Bichon and Lhasa Apso. I have no problem
using Allerpet or anything else. Is there anyone out there who has
reactions as severe as I do who is actually able to own a dog w/o
wheezing and sneezing daily? Are there any other products I should
know abt?

Comments: We purchased a mini dachshund puppy for our
daughter last week. Now we are discovering that our 11 year old is
allergic to him. He breaks out in a rash every time the puppy licks
him. He has been around this same kind of breed before and he had no
reaction. He has been on allergy shots for cats, dust, mold, trees
and dogs for 4 months. Does anyone have any advice on what to do
other than break our daughter's heart and get rid of the puppy?

Comments: Hello there, I find myself in a very upsetting
dituation because of people in my Strata complex wanting to take me
to Court about the Bichon Havanese I am getting because of the
disabilities I have. Nobody has consulted me but one of the reasons
to stress me out and wanting to combat a Supreme Court injunction is
that they are supposedly allergic to dogs. No one has consulted me
as to the tiny, hypo-allergenic dog I am getting which will not even
be walking on the carpet of the building. as I will be taking her
out in a bag. More importantly, I do not even see or get close to
any of these people. I am asking help if someone can lead me to a
Website where dander and allergies (or the lack of it in 'hair'
dogs)to provide legitimate documentation to provide my lawyer in his
preparations. I thank any of you who can help me in this way. Simone

Comments: I once had two extremely hairy dogs, whom I
loved very much, but was forced to give tem away upon being
diagnosed with allergies to dogs, cats, and dust mites. When I had
the dogs, I had a chronic sinus infection. Is there any type of dog
I can get that won't make me sick? Would allergy shots or any other
medication help? I don't know what to do about any of this, but want
a dog so badly it hurts. Any information anyone could give me would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Comments: Little did I know when i first got him as a
puppy that i would turn out to be allergic to his fur. As he got
older, it worsed, i started to develop skin rashes, so the solution
to my little problem was.. try not to scratch, cause it itched a
lot..and to remember to wash my hands after i pet my dog. Allergy
season..? Stuffed nose,watery eyes and sneezing.. It's
everything..Always remember to vaccum..take necessary
antihistamines..& add more grooming especially if you have a pug dog
that sheds. I'm open to any advice from other pug owners out there..

Comments: My husband desperately wants to get a dog but my
son has shown allergic reactions to some dogs in the past such as
Laborador Retrievers. He is now interested in Welsh Springer
Spaniels. Is there any way to test my son for particular breeds of
dogs, and if so, what does the testing consist of? Are these tests
accurate since I would hate to buy a dog and later have to give it
up for adoption because of my son's allergies???

Comments: Hi. I'm 15 and a huge dog lover. I have a
standard poodle who's great, but he's my mom's dog. i've always
wanted a german shepherd, and especially lately. THe problem is my
17 year old brother has bad asthma and has been allergic to dogs
since he was little but isn't allergic to the poodle. I was
wondering if the german shepherd is a highly allergenic breed, and
if there's any shots my brother could have or anything to help him.

allergic to dogs (and we have had to find a new home for our Golden
Retriever). We do want a family dog, however, and would like input

allergy sufferers. We will do all of the necessary things to
minimize exposure but we want a pet that can stay indoors with us
and be a part of the family. We appreciate your insight and

Comments: I am 28 years old and have had allergic
reactions to cats and dogs since I was about 4 years old. Some
children "grow out" of this condition in their teenage years,
unfortunatly I didn't, but I can still have pets - I just have to be
careful. The pets I have need to live out of doors in our backyard.
I do keep heated or cooled shelters for them - so they keep comfy in
bad weather I pet, play, walk, and love on the animal - then I go
wash my hands or shower, otherwise I break out in hives. If an
animal lives indoors, I will itch, get a runny nose, and have asthma
attacks, but I do love animals. So I give them a happy, safe, and
loving life - they just can't sleep on the bed with me!

Comments: I suffer from dog and cat allergies, as does my
father. I wasn't allowed a dog as a child until my mother heard that
Shih Tzu tend not to cause allergies. We borrowed one for a day and
none of us had problems, so we ended up with our own Shih Tzu. She
was a wonderful companion for over 17 years. I just got another one
last month, and again, no sign of allergies! I would HIGHLY
recommend this loveable, playful breed to any allergy sufferer. We
keep ours in a puppy cut and bathe her about weekly.

Comments: My girlfriend has two miniature dachshunds, and
my son seems to be allergic to them. When he visits he begins to get
a runny nose and watery eyes after a few hours. After he returns
home from an overnight visit he continues to get worse for a short
period (day or two) and then the symptoms continue for 5-7 days. He
also suffers from asthma and heavy allergic reactions can trigger an
asthma attack. Besides the obvious ones of changing either
girlfriend or dogs, does anyone have any ideas?
