If you're a dog owner, which type/breed of dog do you currently own?
Is your dog purebred or a mixed mutt?
Does anyone out there have dog allergies and/or own a "hypoallergenic dog"?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions!

I do not have papers on either the beagle or the cocker spaniel. They were both rescues.
I found the cocker spaniel in East Detroit and he was skin and bones. He probably had not eaten for awhile. The other two dogs were from shelters. Tiki the beagle was rescued from a puppy mill where she had been used for breeding.
My husband and I are both allergic to cats. We took a series of shots and are mow fine around our cats and dogs.
An AKC purbred English Masitff
A purebred Fila Mastiff
A Boxer Mix that is our pound puppy
No allergies here
:)
My sister has a Shih Tzu that has all kinds of allergy problems. Shih Tzus are known for their problematic skin, ear infections, etc... His name is Bugsy and he's such a sweet boy, but he's high maintenance.
Long Haired Chihuahas are good for people who have allergies. The long-haired Chihuahua (I pronounce it like it looks. lol) comes from breeding a regular Chihuahua with a Papillon. Regular Chihuahuas are usually tempremental and yappy-snappy, but the Papillons are sweet natured and so cute! So, the long-haired Chihuahuas are sweet natured and very cute! And they are NOT high maintnance dogs.
No real allergies for me with them, though I am allergic to a lot of things. I think I just grew out of it with dogs over the years. Cats can still get me though...
Jack is a purebreed Black Lab and is almost 2
Will is a Aut.Shepherd/Collie mix and almost 3
My son has a black lab/rott mix named Eddie. He's the court jester.
Purbred
No documented dog allergies (doesn't mean I don't have them)
Stopping by to say
I don't have any allergies of course, but my ex-boyfriend did when we were together. He was completely allergic to my cats, but he was fine with the dog unless he wrestled & played with him a lot, in which case he would get itchy on his arms/anywhere the skin was exposed.
