What is a good small dog to get if you have pet allergies?

Answer 1

AnswerIt depends what you are allergic to. Most pet Allergies are to the skin cells the animal sheds. In these cases a hairless dog such as the Mexican Hairless might be a good choice. If it is to the shed fur, a woolly coated dog like a poodle or bichon frise would be a good choice as they don't shed, but have to be clipped every so often by a stylist. You might consider visitting a breeder of the animals to see if your allergy comes on. Answera shorthair, least shedding dog there is, a family dog, non distructive when bored or not exercised enough, soft not hairy dog a dog that is good with children,easily house broken, small dog has a great personallity.

Answer 2

I recommend the poodle, which is outgoing, intelligent and usually calm, but I also recommend the cockapoo. It is a mix between a cocker spaniel and a poodle. Cockapoos are fun, loving, and intelligent.

Answer 3

For allergies would be a poodle, bichon frise, portuguese water dog, Maltese or schnauzer. Mostly dogs with "Hair" instead of fur. Or a Hairless dog. Such as the Chinese crested (They might still have reactions).

For young children, getting a big dog might not be the best thing. Don't get a too small dog either. A meadium-size or standard poodle might work. Mediums only gt to be around 14-16 pounds. Stands get to 21 pound. If you do get a stand you probably should keep it away from very young children. They are not mean, they are just big and don't know they're own streangth.

Malteses are good too but they may bite or snap or get hurt every one in a while if a child stepps on a paw ect.

Hope this helped : )

You can buy either hairless dogs or dogs that don't shed too much.
