Dogs for Children with Allergies.

We are a special needs family. It is our goal to provide dogs for families.
One of the considerations we made when we selected our breed of choice was ALLERGIES.
My wife is extremely allergic to cats.

We have 3 children under 10, and we wanted to select a breed specifically
for its hypoallergenic qualities. It’s not much fun for a child to bond with a cuddly puppy,
and then to find out they have to get rid of their dog, because one or more
children in the family have allergies.

The Havanese breed is naturally hypoallergenic. This is great for children with Allergies. This is primarily due to the fact that their fur is not really like fur, it is like Human hair. The breed is also generally a naturally clean breed with good self grooming habits.

Hypoallergenic Dogs

Hypo Allergenic Dogs? To be honest a few years ago, I didn’t even realize such an animal existed. The key to hypoallergenic properties is the type of fur (or more appropriately, the lack thereof). Hypoallergenic dogs, have “hair” that closely resembles human hair.

The concept is pretty simple, dogs with hair are generally not prone to tripping up “allergies.” So people who are allergic to dogs, do have options. The nice thing about finding a hypo-allergenic dog is the fact that they are naturally this way. No chemicals/medication involved.

I find this especially encouraging for families who may have a child or parent that suffers from allergies to dogs. The Havanese breed (also known as the Havana Silk Dog) is a hypoallergenic breed.

While the possibility exists for someone to be allergic to them, the fact that they are hypoallergenic dramatically reduces the likelihood of that.

If you have thought having a dog as a pet would never be possible due to allergies, we invite you to explore the possibilities that a hypoallergenic dog like the Havanese makes available to you.
