I’m thinking of getting a puppy and was wondering if toy fox terriers are good for people with allergies. What about yorkie russells (yorkie/ Jack russell terrier mix)?

Does anyone have one of these that could give me some info about them. I live in an apartment so I’m looking for a small dog that doesn’t shed much and doesn’t require much grooming. Thanks.
Also does anyone know of a website that shows these breeds when they are full grown and maybe gives a little info about how big they get, temperment, how well they get along with other breeds, ect.

My 2 yr old springer spaniel has seasonal allergies. Food allergy as been ruled out. He receives monthly cortisone shots and daily benedryl to control but he can still get quite red and irritated on belly and chest at times; and always after a bath. Scratching and licking causes hair loss. Is there any safe topical sprays to use during severe outbreaks?

My granddaughter is having a hard time with her allergies and asthma like reactions. Also she gets a rash (or redden of her face and hand/arms if her sleeves are short.) whenever she goes out in her backyard to swing. She is two years ago and loves to go outside; but we are worried it will become life threaten if we don’t figure out what is causing her reactions. She can go to the park and the front yard without the rash or severe reactions. She does have some allergy problems but only the backyard causes scary reactions.

Before we had kids, my husband and I used to have a dog. We loved him a lot, but when we had our second child, we found out he is allergic to all pet fur. My daughter remembers having Eddie, our dog, and really wants another pet. We would really like another dog, but we can’t because my son’s allergies are rather severe. We were looking into cockapoos who are apparently hypo-allergenic, but I don’t want to take a chance with my son. Does anyone have experience with that type of a problem? Also, we have almost eleven month old twins so we don’t feel comfortable having a fish around or any small animal that would be in a open type cage.

Can you develop an allergy to pets you have had for a long time?
I have two guinea pigs that I’ve had for years, I keep both of them in my bedroom (plan on moving them to another room) and recently I’ve been experiencing what seems like allergic reactions. Whenever I’m in my room I get really itchy, mainly my face, arms, and hands. I have a hard time breathing and my eyes sometimes become very itchy and watery as well.
The only thing I can possibly think of that could be causing it is the animals, I start to feel alright once I leave my bedroom.
