I have asthma that is allergy induced among other things, and I am allergic to dogs. I have five of them... but I don't really get to be the dog lover I want to be. Sometimes I have to totally avoid them for weeks because of allergies and it's really frustrating not to get to play with them or even just give them a pat on the back.
Anyway, I did some research and found out the Bichon Frise produce very little dander and are therefore a good breed for asthma/allergy sufferers.
I also read though that, and I'm posting so that I can be corrected and get the right info... they can have nuerotic disorders as a result of their breeding, and that it was in fact, not uncommon.
So, does anyone here have a Bichon and do you have any advice for me in searching for a breeder? I honestly don't know if I could incorporate such a small dog into my pack of five right now anyway, but I'd like to learn a little more on the topic all the same.
Thanks in advance for any help.
