Our allergy free dog

Maltepoo's and allergies in humans.

We have allergies to just about every living thing on this earth that is not human. I am allergic to dogs, cats, horses and even plants. My daughter went to the Emergency Room with acute asthma  after sleeping over at a relatives home who had a boxer for a pet. Boxers are a short haired dog that shed. When my daughter was 6 she would go crazy whenever she saw a dog. She loved dogs even though she would break out in hives if any dog fur touched her sensitive skin. She constantly begged us to get a dog. We continued to say "no."  The only breed of dog we could find that didn't give the owners allergies was a Poodle and my husband did not want a Poodle. Then we read about these new breed of designer dogs where they take a certain breed and mate it with a poodle to get an "oodle" named dog. Such as cocker-doodle which is half Cocker Spaniel, half Poodle.

After reading up on Labradoodles, Shitzypoos,and Maltepoos I decided that a Maltepoo would be the right dog for us. I contacted a breeder and we were on our way to owning our first dog. Maltepoos are half Maltese which do not shed and half Poodle which do not shed. They say the Poodle is a smart dog and the Maltese is loving and great with kids so this had to be the dog for us. A Maltepoo! The name made me chuckle. We got our dog and named her Suzie and what a doll she is. When we first brought her home the girls did get a few hives on their skin after playing with her. We soon figured out it was not Suzie but the fur and dander from whatever other animals the breeder had in their home.  I washed her bedding and gave our little girl a good bath and no more hives. We had found an allergy free dog that our family loves.

Please note: Just because she is allergy free to our family doesn't mean this breed will work for all allergy sufferers. I have heard of people requesting a lock of their breeds hair from the breeder prior to buying their puppy. This fur or hair is taken to an allergy doctor who can test it for compatibility. It's well worth it in the long run isn't it?  *Remember to wash your new pet and her accessories if there were any other type of animal in the breeders home.

A word about dog collars

Collars are more than just a canine fashion statement, they are important because they can save your dog's life when you add an ID tag. Identification tags are the most important item you can add to a collar. These e little pieces of hanging metal save countless dogs lives every day. The phone number on that tag enables someone to return your dog to you. Even if you don't put on identification tags, write your phone number directly on the inside of the collar itself with a permanent marker.  When people find a lost dog, they are likely to check the dog collar first. In fact, at the shelter, every collar is removed and checked for any shred of identification. The collar itself is often helpful in identifying a dog. The sad thing is that probably only 1 in 10 stray dogs that end up at the shelter are even wearing collars.
