I'm allergic to dogs, so what dog do i get?

Question

im allergic to dogs and cats and am looking to get a dog i hear there are hypoallergenic dogs but some dogs are just so ugly u cant even look at them.

Answer 1

My suggestion to you would be a puggle (mixture of a male pug with a female beagle). If you are looking for a fun, energetic dog this is the one for you. I warn you, they are a bit of a handful and can be difficult to train, but they are so sweet and great with all other dogs and all people. They are also extremely intelligent and very cute. They are a very high demand dog, as they are considered a "designer dog". Hope this was helpful :-)

Answer 2

ah, a poodle would be wonderful for you! they are non shedding and they have hair instead of fur, and they are hypoallergenic. some other breeds that would be good for you are: maltese, yorkies, goldendoodles (a mix between golden retriever and poodle), labradoodles (a mix between a labrador and poodle), bolognese, bichon frise, etc. You can look at petfinder.com to find the perfect pet for you, and you can choose the location, size, breed, age, etc.

good luck!

Answer 3

I would go with a Shih Tzu, because they have hair instead of fur, and never shed.  They also aren't huge and slobbery dogs, so you wouldn't be tackled and covered in allergy-causing dog saliva.  We have one because my brother is allergic to dogs, and for the last 8 years, he has had no allergy problems from our dog.

They are absolutely adorable too.

(Yes, my research is YouTube.  I think I died of cute overload from this puppy video.)

Answer 4

My sister in law got a Pekingese.  He's hypoallergenic, cute and well behaved.

Answer 5

They are called "hypoallergenic" cuz there fur sheds very little. Its the pet dander that usually gets peoples allergies aggravated!

I see alot of dogs at the shelter (poodles,. shihtzu's etc.) that had to get surrenderd from pet allergies!

I suggest... either get high meds. to help them so you can actually Live with a dog and take care of it.... Or don't get one! I've seen to many surrenderd from allergies!

I suggest not to get one if your allergies are really bad! Not fair to the dog!

Answer 6

i have a maltese. a lott of smaller dogs are hypoallergenic. like maltese, toy and teacup poodles, yorkie, shitzu, chiwawi

Answer 7

A Poodle.

Answer 8

Miniature Schnauzer is what we have and he is wonderful.  

Answer 9

don't get a dog if you are allergic, duhhh. and if there are a few you can get, research it, don't act lazzy and post a question before you research
