Well there is nothing worse then all of a sudden finding out that you are allergic to the family dog who has been around for years and who still happens to be in perfect health, so it doesn't look like he's going anywhere soon. That is of course if you can get control of those allergies of yours that you are sure have all of a sudden developed because of a allergy to your pooch.
Now if you happen to not be a dog owner yet but are really yearning to be one be careful about the information you rely on when choosing a dog that is going to cause you less problems with your allergies. It has to be remembered that you sensitivity could be coming from pets dander or even the saliva and yes urine. So purchasing a short haired breed may not be the solution. Trying to determine which of these is the culprit will be no easy task. So the only one that can reduce a possible risk is going with the short haired breeds because as far as I know you won't have any choices in dogs that don't produce saliva or urine. There are some long haired breeds as well that are reported as causing few allergic reactions.

The symptoms of potential allergies to pets vary from the obvious eyes running, sneezing, runny nose to the more irritating rashes, fatigue and breathing difficulties. Some individuals are simply allergic to every breed while the more fortunate are only allergic to some types such as the long haired breeds.

If you really don't want to do without a dog then after considering the low allergy types you may also want to consider merely keeping your allergies under control with medication. However, if you are going to do this then make sure that you are using Natural medication to assist you. You don't want to be living on chemical based anti allergy medications for all the years that you are trying to enjoy your dog.
