[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your ideal dog does not exist [/quote]

+1  These threads are so strange.  [i]I'm allergic to dogs and my kid is terrified of them - help me pick a dog! [/i] [/quote]
For what it's worth, my kid is NOT terrified of dogs, just a highly anxious personality that would not pair well with an anxious dog. But I guess nobody thinks my husband and children, who really want a dog, should get one because I"m allergic, so oh well![/quote]

I posted up thread with some suggestions.  The really obvious answers are cavapoo or bernadoodle but you said you don’t want a doodle.  I asked why that was.  The next suggestion is to ask how bad your allergies are and what you are willing to do.  I am allergic to dogs but have basically always had them.  I take daily medication: dogs not allowed in hedroom or on furniture; we use the highest end allergen filter hvac plus a Dyson air filter; and we vacuum at least weekly with a hela filter vacuum.   If I cared more, I would require the kids to brush the dog outside daily and vacuum daily but were find with where we are.  Dog allergies are totally manageable if you’re motivated to manage them.  Some people get shots but I don’t think I need those.

People posting about your daughter’s anxiety are just being nasty and ignorant.  I know lots of families where a child with anxiety has benefitted enormously from a dog.  You know your kid and I assume you’re also working with a therapist.  [/quote]
