Thank you guys for your replies to my post. I've given up on the idea, anyway. My teen-years dog was 1/2 poodle, and I was severely allergic to him. I, my husband, and one of my children are all really, really allergic, and I have asthma.
Rachael, I went to that sight you posted. It had really, really good information. If you've read it, you saw the part about how there are NO true anti-allergy dogs. The dander and saliva are still present in all breeds. The breeds sound like they would be costly ones to get, too. I would hate to spend the money, get attached, and three of us go into an allergy fit. It's not worth the risk. We'd be heartbroken, and can't take the chance. Looks like we'll just stick with our parakeets for now!

There are many rescue site on the internet for full breed dogs. there are severel dogs you can get and if you keep up with the bathing and grooming You are most likely not to have problems.I am allergic to many things ,one being dogs, plus i have asthma. I own four large mixed breed dogs. I also since i was a teenager take allergy shots twice weekly. Short haired dogs or hairless dogs are your best bet(easier to groom)and their is nothing the matter with an outside dog with the right conditions.
