    Buttercup,

    As someone with allergies, it is entirely possible to be allergic to one dog and not another. It happens to me all the time. Lady doesn't bother me, some dogs do, some dogs don't.

    But isnt it the dander?
    The kind all dogs have? Except for some of the curly coats.
    And with a coat so similar?

    It is the dander, but some dogs don't affect me in the least, others do, and I know I'm not unique in that respect.

    It is entirely possible to be allergic to some dogs and not others, I would just hate to see the family go through a string of dogs trying to find one he's not allergic to and I think if he is that allergic they are better off just keeping the one dog the already have that he can deal with and not keep getting others that might cause the same reaction as Max. Then what happens to all those dogs if he IS allergic? That's personally for me why I suggested they just don't get any other dogs right now.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    There are many great rescues that will take in purebred dogs. Please contact this one:

    They specialize in the GSD.

    I'm glad you rescued Max but sounds like you need to find him a home. You really need to meet the breeds you are thinking of and read up. If you don't have room for a GSD you DON"T have room for a Boxer (I know I have had to rearrange some of my life for Tyson the energizer boxer) I have 2 newfies and he wears thm out and still has go power. Most all young dogs will be full of energy, I might suggest an older dog, they are calmer with age ,but remember some DO NOT ever slow down.

    GSD's bother my allergies and other breeds don't. Pugs shed a ton! Don't get a pug if your dad has problems. I work in a boarding kennel and of all the dogs we have, the pugs shed the most for their size. When we wash down the kennels each morning, the pugs have the most hair in the drains.

    When we first got Max we didnt know him. When we saw the bad conditions that he was in we fust took him.Makayla knows she was there it was not pretty. We took him, we could have never let a dog like him die.... or any dog . But I promiss that the next dog I get we will look at for a long long time before i just get her/him
