DD has been asking for years to have a dog and I think the time has finally come. The kids are both allergic to cats and once several years ago DD became ill after visiting friends with a dog. She has been around various types of dogs since then and has been fine.
I am thinking that first I should find out what types of dogs are the least allergic and then find a breeder in our area that has this type of dog and then spend some time with the breeders dogs to find out if the kids react or not? And if the kids are fine, then buy a dog from the breeder.
Does this make sense or is there a medical test the kids can take to find out whether or not they are allergic to dogs in general? IF not, can someone reccommend what types of dogs would be the least allergic.
Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated.
Thank you
