[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - please just get a rescue - we euthanize millions of dogs a year in this country.

It will save you money too.[/quote]

OP: I've been trying unsuccessfully to find a rescue that will be hypoallergic for my son. Having a hard time. Was starting to think maybe we just need to get a poodle mix from a breeder. [/quote]

My son is also allergic to dogs and desperately wanted one a few years ago.  But our allergist told us that there is really no such thing as a hypo allergenic dog there are just some species that give off a lot less dander which in some cases can be enough for someone who is allergic to tolerate but it is not a guarantee.

In any case I did just find a few labeled hypoallergenic dogs out there up for adoption though admittedly none at the local shelters but they do appear to come available from time to time.[/quote]
+1 Test this premise before you adopt or buy a dog. There is no such thing as a truly "hypoallergenic" dog that will work for everyone. I'm highly allergic to poodles and poodle mixes, but not allergic to my hound mix - it really varies by person.[/quote]
