We have been wanting a puppy for a long time but the kids were too young. Now that they have grown some we would like to get a puppy, we have considered rescue but we need hypoallergenic since one of the kids has asthma. Prefer to get a puppy so kids can be along for the growth and training. Anyone know any good breeders for Labradoodles or Goldendoodles? Thanks in advance
@Jwm:
No guarantees of labradoodles or golden doodles being hypoallergenic - they are basically mutts and it's a toss up which genes comes forward - despite what "breeders" will tell you. They are high priced glorified mutts. My dd was a groomer and some came through with poodle coats and some came through with Lab or Golden coats.
Go with breeds that are known for being hypoallergenic.
Better yet - surpass the dog. If your kids have asthma why risk their health. And what will you do when you get a dog and their asthma gets worse and you have to get rid of the dog? Another dog to rehome or go to the pound.
The rescues, shelters are so inundated - people overworked and overwhelmed trying to save animals. Not being critical just being realistic. I've seen it so many times- must rehome- child allergic. Not fair to the child not fair to the dog.
