I understand this may not be the place to ask this question but i will try it anyways. I am currently searching for a hunting dog and/or good family dog. However i am allergic to dogs. Labs really get to my breathing, so do setters and retreivers. Does anyone have any recommendations on breed that i should look at so i can have a dog but not suffer? or any other recommendations to help ease my reactions?
again, sorry if this post is obscure, but i thought there may be others that have the same problem and am just looking for recommendations.
Check out the Wire Haired Pointing Griffon. My wife is severely allergic to cats and dogs, we went to a number of breeders and hunt trials to check out the various breeds. The only two that didn't cause a reaction were the WPG and standard poodle.
From everything I have heard and everyone I have talked to, the WPG is an excellent hunting dog, and a great family dog. Right now we are waiting for the breeder we selected to have their next litter.
