Just wondering….?

What type of dog would you recommend for someone who needs to get a non-shedding dog. It must be a small dog as I live in a small house and haven’t the room for a larger dog. It can be a short or long hair…doesn’t matter to me as I keep my dog groomed and healthy.
I should add,.,,I had a Beagle for 17 years and she shed and it didn’t bother my allergies much until I got older. By that time, I’d had her for years and was no way giving her up. I lost her last November, and now am looking toward getting another dog…but my doctor has recommended a non-shedding breed.
So. I need some ideas of dogs that would be good for me, then I can look up the breed (or mix breed) and read up on them. Thank-you.
Thanks for your answers. They will help me decide on what type of dog.
lol @ Chain. I suppose imaginary dogs would be very easy to train, too.
cat they’re in …I had heard that Chihuahuas shed quite a bit…but I don’t know for sure.

Hi,

Sorry to hear you lost your beagle, sounds like you are ready to save another of her friends. One of my nieces has pretty severe allergies and I just got them a Bichon Frise, she has no problems at all with that breed. She does have problems with my Chihuahua mixes but had no problems with Poodles or Schnauzers. Here is a list I used to find the dog for her and when the Bichon came into my rescue group, it was just the right match.

Dogs Considered Good For Allergy Sufferers

If a breed is not listed here, it does not necessarily mean the breed is not a good dog for allergy sufferers. I am sure there are many more breeds that I am just not aware of.
Please note: One person’s allergies may vary greatly from another person’s. It is always wise to visit the dog to see if you are allergic to it before you bring it home. Hypoallergenic Dogs
