This is GREAT information!
My husband's been allergic to dogs his entire life, and he does just fine with our (non-"hypoallergenic") Cavalier.
I believe this is because we got the dog as a puppy, and the hubby's immune system had a chance to adjust... and also because I bathe the dog weekly, keep our place immaculately clean (vacuum every 2 days), and we also don't allow the dog in the bedroom.
Where there's a will, there's a way... between the meds available to take care of human allergies and the dander reducing products for pet care, I really don't see a reason for anyone to ever have to give up their pets because of allergies. Extra time and care? YES. But it's always worth it!!
