Our Allergy Free Dog

Maltepoo's and allergies in humans. Our family has allergies to just about every living thing on this earth with the exception to humans. 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.  My daughter 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 for our family pet. 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 and have had zero allergy problems with this breed.
