Indigo makes friends with children everywhere we travel.
Dogs and Children usually love each other’s company.

However, some children are allergic to the dander in the skin of double-coated dogs and even their hair

The good news is, not all dogs have a double coat. The undercoat of most dogs is an annual coat that moults off each year. This creates a lot of skin shedding, or dander, and this dander rather than the actual shedding hair, is the main cause of most allergies to dogs. The topcoat is more like human hair in that it grows t maturity over several years then sheds gradually.

There are breeds of dogs most children can be around without causing any health issues and allergies. Even though each person is unique and different, it depends on your child's body and type of allergy, which breed will be the best for him/her, but here are a few general guidelines.

Dogs with less hair are much better for allergic people - especially children. It is simply because they shed less fur. Also dog breeds that have shorter hair or a thick single coat are more in the hypo-allergic group, so safer for allergic children.

Hair-less dog breeds:

  • Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless)
  • American Hairless Terrier
  • Chinese Crested (Hairless)
Single-coated breeds:

  • Poodles
  • Schnauzers
  • Bichon Frise
  • Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier
  • Portuguese Water Dog
  • Coton de Tulear
  • Kerry Blue Terrier

Our Indigo, adores children and will be missing their company soon as a family she plays with were looking at florida hotels , last time she visited, as they were planning a trip to Disney land.

Indigo will not miss children’s company for long. We are planning the next phase of our, Australian tour and when we travel, she is an irresistible magnet for children and gets lots of children’s company.
