[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a reasonable question - what is the big problem? It makes perfect sense to me to find a dog breed that is known to be friendly to kids and calming, as well as relatively non-allergenic. It makes sense to not do a shelter dog as breeds can be more predictable. [/quote] OP can't know if they'll be allergic to a particular dog until they have lived with that particular dog, nor can they know whether this is going to be a good choice for an extremely anxious child. This is, first, a Don't get a dog situation, but if you can't be dissuaded, it's definitely a foster-to-adopt situation[/quote] But aren't some breeds typically more-or-less hypoallergenic? E.g., the Obamas got a Portugese water dog as someone was allergic? For example, I had a friend who got a breed of cat as they are known to be hypoallergenic.[/quote]
