Hey folks I am new to the forum,I lost my bougles two years ago. I am now ready to take on raising another pup. Boug's was a red /white female, she was lightning fast as was able to keep up with the horses. I miss her alot and would like to have a pup again. She does'nt need to be show quality just healthy and fall in the guidlines for the breed, I live in the city now and have the space,time, love and ATTENtION this breed needs. Color of any kind is o.k. The need for a quality pup is TOP priority. Thank you for your time here at this wonderful forum. I am new to computers and did not think a sight like this was available. I feel I will get the PUP I am looking for here. ThankYou TIM and REBECCA.;)
There really is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. Really. Lots of hype, no facts that they exist.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hypoallergenic-dog-breeds/AN01953 Don' have to believe me, this is Mayo Clinic:
Are there any hypoallergenic dog breeds?
Answer
from James T C Li, M.D., Ph.D.
There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog breed, although some breeds may cause fewer allergy symptoms than others. Many people think that pet allergies are caused by a dog's or cat's fur, but the real source of pet allergies is often a protein that's in the saliva and urine of dogs and cats. This protein sticks to the dead, dried flakes (dander) from your pet's skin.
Some dog breeds, such as the soft-coated wheaten terrier, or mixed breeds such as the goldendoodle, are marketed as hypoallergenic dogs because they don't shed fur or they shed very little. Because these dogs don't shed, the allergy-causing dander that sticks to their fur doesn't get released into the air or onto the floor as much as it would with a shedding dog. While you may have fewer allergy symptoms with a so-called hypoallergenic dog than with a shedding dog, no dog breed is hypoallergenic. There's some research suggesting that female dogs and Labrador retrievers might put off lower amounts of dog allergens.
If you're allergic to dogs, but still want to have one, there are some things you can do to reduce your allergy symptoms:
Choose a smaller dog, which will shed less dander than will a larger dog.
Keep your pet out of your bedroom and other rooms you spend a lot of time in.
Keep your pet outside, if weather permits.
Bathe your pet weekly to remove dander from its coat.
Choose carpet-free flooring, or shampoo your carpet regularly.
Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air purifier and vent filters to help reduce airborne pet allergens.<<
