I just found out my daughter has dog allergies but I really want to get her a dog. I think it will be ok cuz she has been around dogs alot and has not showed any signs of problems. However she had a blood allergy test and it come up possitive for dogs. So I heard from some people that if the child doesn’t show symptoms of a dog allergy you can still get a dog but it has to by a hyperallergenic dog. I looked on the internet for dogs that might be ok I found a Havanese I found out they don’t shed are good with kids of all ages and easy to train. I was wondering if this is a good breed to stick with or if there is a better one with all the same qualities. Also if this is a good dog for me to stick with how much do they cost and can someone tell me a little more about them please.

I also recommend Maltese, yorkshire terriers (yorkies), or poodles.
I’m sorry, I don’t know anything about the havanese, but you might also look into the Maltese. They have a single coat, and are better for people with allergies as well.
All dogs shed, even the ones that claim they don’t.
They are usually bred by back yard breeders, so later on, you will be paying enormous vet bills.
Havanese are, in my opinion, the best small dog. They are hypoallergenic and they do NOT shed, but they do lose hair like people do. I have only heard of one child that was allergic to their saliva, but that I think is very rare. They are like like little clowns and love to play. They are not yappy, and are not fragile like the maltese seems to be. They are usually around 10 pounds full grown vs. about 6 pounds for a maltese. They are great with kids and are very smart.
They usually cost around $1800. My only advice if you decide to get a Havanese is to get one from a reputable breeder that does health testing and has AKC registered dogs. This will save you from money on vet bills and heartache in the future because they are more likely to develop a health issue.
I do not think you would ever regret getting a Havanese they are absolutely the best dogs. If you go to http://www.havanese.org the AKC National Havanese club they have plenty of information and breeder referals.
