I also am not a fan of hairs everywhere and so this type of breed would be a real possibility for me.

My friend had his brother and she has asthma. She had no trouble with him at all. I say had because he was PTS in the summer. He had diabetes, he was only 9 and she over fed him to the point of obesity. So sad as Teddy is 10 now and still like a puppy.

My daughters also have asthma and various allergies and none of them have had problems. Bichons are also excellent with other animals. Teddy has never so much a growled at any of my other pets. And he is so clever. I could talk all day about him, I just love him so much.

I can tell how much you love him and I'm not surprised. He's such a cutie. I'd love a dog who is cuddly and who I can have on my lap and in the home without causing my allergies to turn me into a scratching, sneezing, runny-eyed mess. This could well be the answer in the future. I've only recently got hubby to agree to the chickens for later this spring. Softly, slowly, little hints....one thing at a time!
