I am allergic to just about everything including dogs. But when I was younger, I was given a poodle because they don't shed alot and it was easier on my allergies. Although it was true that I did not suffer much from the allergies, the poodle itself was horrible. It growled at everyone and it ate my shoes, bit me, was hard to house train, and in the end he ate my couch.
I no longer have a poodle, I opted for a rat terrier. He does shed but not very much. He is a very good house dog and great with the kids because he takes the abuse the kids give him and comes begging for more. He loves to play and has a great personality.
