 Hypo allergenic dogs
Hi all
I'm brand new to this forum. I don't own a yorkie, yet, but am considering a mixed breed maltese/yorkie. I am definitely looking into Sharon Hill and Truepuppylove also. I currently have a maltese/bichon mix and I am sold on mixes. I am very allergic to dogs (although not as much as to cats!) and my maltichon has not caused a single problem.
First of all, all dogs shed. Some shed all over the couch and the rug, and everywhere in between. Their fur is hard to vacuum up. Dogs like mine lose their hair, the same way we humans do. It tends to collect with the dust bunnies in the corners and under the couch. The real trick to living with a dog when you have allergies is bathing them. My baby gets a bath about once a week. Being all white it's obvious when he needs one.
My allergy is severe. I don't just get a runny nose and itchy eyes, I get a full-blown asthma attack. I have never even had a tight chest with my maltichon. My allergies are also what prevent me from going to a shelter to find a rescue. Five minutes in there and they would have to call an ambulance. Going to the vet about undoes me.
So, to the OP, how are your babies doing now? I would love to see current pictures. |
