Our last dog was a standard poodle. We loved him so much, but this time we are getting a small dog. I want to be able to fly with her when I visit my daughter in Minnesota.
Sorry to hear about your cat allergies. I have a sister who is allergic to all furry animals. It’s tough being an animal lover and be allergic to them.

@alive -- I loved my standard poodle -- best dog ever!!! Sooo smart and sweet! A real Lassie type dog. Like your sister, I am the world's biggest animal lover and allergic to all things furry except hypoallergenic dogs thankfully! It's heartbreaking -- look but don't touch. For those allergic, there are quite a few dog breeds that are hypoallergenic. I've had three poodles and two schnauzers and I did fine with all of them - all non-shedding. Can't be around shedding dogs. My cat and horse allergies are the worst. Can't get near them. I hope all you allergic animal lovers can find a hypoallergenic dog to love! Purebred is best for you so no hidden dander issues.

@aliveand all...Yes, I still have some issues with Samantha's dander and hair. I brush and comb her that helps. But, there's hair all over the bed comforter, my newly bought weighted comforter that really helps me sleep and helps reduce the pain in my legs/back and feet. It's remarkable, one of my gifts to myself last year with the Connect group being good to ourselves.
what a wonderful gift that group gave me last year, helping me take better care of myself. weighted comforter. new mattress, new 4'' thick mattress cover that made it soo perfect for my poor body. A gift to myself. I'm worth it. I al set up several bird feeders, lots of fun there. I did several good things for myself that helped get me through last year, a worse year than 2020. I am very thankful.
Blessings...enjoy that puppy. My disabled 53-year-old disabled son has a therapy dog. This pup is a precious white Havanese. From Havana, herders, she weighs about 9 lbs maybe, is full of pure joy and happiness and severe loyalty. She's smart as a whip and I adore her, claiming her as my granddaughter. We have a real love affair, I help with her care a bit, puppy sit when I can but without the daily responsibility of walks and such. She is a pure white, long-haired, soft as human hair with no dander or shedding as with poodles. She saves my son's life. Give us joy. What a gift these little fellows give us.
