Getting our dog was the bribery I offered my daughter if she would tolerate the weekly allergy shots that she needed. She is far more allergic to some breeds than others (she can't be around labs/retrievers hardly at all) but is totally fine with the Malamute. It makes no sense to me because Sammigirl sheds horribly and has lots of dander, but my girl is fine with her. Her reaction to dogs wasn't as bad as her reaction to cats, weeds.. or the other 33 things she tested positive for though. She had a 1 for dogs but a 4 or 4+ for everything else. The only thing she wasn't allergic to was cockroaches. We were NOT getting pet cockroaches
