Typically fur is what people are allergic to. Shih Tzu's (and some others) have hair, hence the hypo-allergenic.
We groom our little buddy every 5-6 weeks. We've been doing it ourselves for about 8-9 years now. YouTube video's on how to groom any breed are a dime a dozen.
Yeah, a bull mastiff, that's it.

I use a local groomer, 70 bucks for both of them and they go every other month.

no my friend...obamacare ef you....at least it did me. my medical insurance would have gone up to over 3k a month if i were to stay with the same plan that i had for years. so now i got some crappy plan for a little bit less but much worse coverage....much worse than medicaid....sad!!!

+1 for Shih Tzu's. I breed them as we as Pugs. Shih Tzu's are the most common hypo-allergenic breeds around. And they stay small which is another plus.

Tom pet insurance is great but some of them you have to shell out the money anyway then send in forms and get reimbursed. That defeated the whole purpose for me.
Look into care credit. It's a credit card that most vets take and if you pay it off in under6 months there's no interest. You can also use it at some regular doctors. I actually used mine to get Ruby spayed and I also used it here for 2 new pairs of eyeglasses.

your dogs need glasses? how do they keep the glasses on their heads???......lol

The glasses were for me. I was pointing out since you're half blind AND Asian you'd need all the help you can get so the card would have you covered in multiple areas. Especially since Obamacare.:tongue1:

yorkies are awesome. I just got one for my girlfriend and they have the biggest personality. iv always had large dogs and didn't want a small dog that was super hyper and yappy. we have since bought 2 other yorkies from the same breeder. I have read they are very hypoallergenic and I believe it. Bambam's hair feels like baby hair

We have a Goldendoodle. He has tight curly hair. It all depends how far down in generations.
My daughter has severe asthma with allergies. I am slightly allergic to dogs.
For the most part she does well with the dog. He gets shaved down every 4 months or so.
Most hypoallergenic breeds cost a lot. Goldendoodle is still viewed as a mixed breed and reasonably priced.

a patient of mine has one and she has several medical conditions(the dog not the patient) and being so needy she can't leave her alone in the apartment for a couple of hours with out coming home to a wreck....as much a a 7 pounder could wreak. to be fair, she was probably spoiled/untrained since she was a puppy.

thanks for the input but we're not looking for one that big. a small to medium ish dog that my wife could pick up without slipping a disc is more suitable.
no one here has a bischon or a maltese?
I'll ask my wife she was doing research on breeders before we found ours in a pet store.
