In response to the query about hypoallergenic dogs:
The most famous breed for not bothering those with allergies, (and not sheddin
as much) is the French poodle. They come in 3 sizes: toy, miniature, and stan-
dard. The standard is as big as a German shepherd; and they were originally
bred as a retriever for hunters, so can make a good outdoor dog, if not pam-
pered as an indoor one. All the long hair is a protection against burrs,etc.
so they can be clipped for that. There is also a little known German poodle,
that runs larger in size. The poodle is a smart, easily trained breed, that
adjusts well to apartments-even the larger ones. My miniature loved to hunt;
though the coyotes might have eaten HIM!!!
