He is the cutesy "schmootsiest" thing I've ever seen! 
So you don't sneeze when you brush him?
Because I am allergic too, but would love a less allergenic dog, if it was possible? Maybe his fur is a bit more "wooly" so he is less sneeze-causing?
Hmmm....

If you go to the site I quoted, it will explain how these little bundles of four-legged love seem to cause the least amount of allergic reactions. I'm able to brush him, wet or dry, and not have a problem. In fact, other than his groomer, he allows me the most "freedom" to brush him - when his "underarms" get too long, they can mat, and it had to be brushed out.
I had put my nose directly into dozens of dogs before I found that the Bichon's appeal was true - no sneezing, no hives - nothing. I would even let him sleep on my bed - and I have NEVER allowed an animal to do that!
If I had to say that Buffy was a problem, it is that he loves TOO much! He will fret when my mama leaves him, sometimes to the point of semi-hysteria. This could be from being a rescued dog, too, though. Also, he was sitting on her desk (since they're so little, bichons like to be up on a people level) when the mailman dared to come, and he made a flying squirrel-like leap at him - and tore his ligament. Now, he lets us carry him up steps that are too much for him - like a purse!
