[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Poster. It is true that there are no totally hypoallergenic dogs and that if your kids have serious dangerous allergies, you shouldn't even try. That said, I am allergic to dogs and have had cockapoos for YEARS without any problems. I couldn't recommend them more highly. They are hardy and have easy-going big dog personalities in a small package. Very active outdoors, but totally chill indoors. So, so sweet and patient with our kids, just totally tolerant about everything when our kids were toddlers. Also, in our extended family's experience, very healthy. The four we have had in the past died at: 14, 15, 16, and 18. The 14-year-old had a heart issue late in life, for which he required medication, but the others had zero health issues other than one having cataracts towards the end.

We have had other poodles and doodles and honestly I love all of them but my personal observation is that the poodle brings a lot of intelligence to the mix but also a lot of sensitivity, so it helps to mix with a less sensitive breed. One of my family members currently has maltipoos and they are adorable and sweet and easy in most ways but definitely high strung compared to cockapoos.[/quote]

You can get allergy tested to see if you are actually allergic.  That's what I did several times over the years.  I am ok with hair, not fur.  Our dog does not shed at all.[/quote]
