Kendra, you couldn’t be more wrong. I have horrible allergies and dog dander is my number one allergy. Any breed with hair is said to be a non-shedding breed because they do not shed their entire coat annually. They also do not have fur. Terriers, poodles, shih-tsus and others dogs in those categories have hair, just like us humans or sheep. Think about when you take a shower, I’m sure some of your hair comes out and this is exactly what happens to these dogs. So if you own a labradoodle, you will find their hair on your furniture, but they do not have fur or dander. And they definitely do not shed. I am highly allergic to dogs and can’t pet them without having an attack. But with labradoodles I have no problems.

Lol…

I wouldn’t pick any dog. “Labradoodles” are mongrels. Poodles ARE a SHEDDING breed, EVERY dog sheds. FACT- 99% of Poodle mixes are HEAVY Shedders, and have lots of Dander which makes them HORRIBLE for Allergy Sufferers.

I would pick a shelter dog from a NO-KILL shelter!!

I know that there are allergies to consider, but many animal shelters will put your name on a list and let you know when just the right dog comes in. The good ones are staffed with people who genuinely care for the dogs, and take steps to make sure good matches are made.

The president adopting a shelter dog would set a great example for the country!
