This is just my opinion, but I believe the American Indian dog is simply a mutt! The vast majority of them look like husky or malamute mixes to me. I think the breeders are trying to capitalize on people's desire to own a purebred. Any good breeder should be able an answer any question a buyer had about his dogs, their history and the specific pedigree he is breeding.

The pages I've looked at all show husky type dogs and state contradictory things--like they don't shed, but their undercoat blows yearly and can be woven to yarn. Well, my huskies undercoat sheds at least once a year and I have winter clothing made out of it. It's is most definately not hypo-allergenic.

Your sister could probably find a mutt that meets her needs much cheaper at a shelter or a rescue. Or she could be like me and pop a Reactine pill every morning. I'm allergic to dogs too and currently have 20!
