We have a Bichon/Poodle mix. I also dogsit a full Bichon. They are considered to be low allergens. But, when my son visits, he says they still affect him a bit. Then we got this adorable, crazy little black dog whose fur invades every single crook of our home! Couldn't resist her, tho, and love her to bits. (They said her mom was a cocker spaniel, but we don't see that at all. She looks like a dashund/border collie mix that I've seen before.) I'm glad it's not me who is allergic, although in the past I have reacted to a few dogs.
