Max's Whole Story...

[Lady's Human]

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.

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.

I haven't gotten too involved in this whole situation for a few reasons. All I'm going to say is please don't get a boxer. If you absolutely must get another dog, which I think is a horrible idea, please get something small or at the most, a medium sized dog (nothing bigger than a cocker spaniel type, in my opinion).

Sarah, how that I'm really thinking on this, have you thought about having just Rupert? I mean, it'll give you much more quality time with him, and I'm sure you would have much more time to train him and play with him. Nevertheless, there won't be as much fur, as much brushing, or as much expenses. But otherwise, maybe you should try a small dog, as I was talking to you about earlier. Like a Boston Terrier, or possibly even a Bulldog. I don't know how much Beagles and Bassett Hounds shed, but maybe you should try researching in. Hope I could help...

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
