My kids have been begging me for a couple of years now for a pet, preferably a dog. Since we found out that my middle daughter is allergic to cats and some types of dogs, we have narrowed our search a bit. I used to be worried about the mess, especially fleas, but now that they have such new innovative products such as Frontline, I am not as concerned anymore.

Our requirements:

  • Must be a smaller dog, preferably under 25 pounds.
  • Must be non-allergenic.
  • Must be smart and easily trained.
  • Must not bark a lot.
  • Must be good with kids.

We took a dog breed selector quiz and our top choices are:

Bichon Frise
Poodle (toy)
Wire Fox Terrier
Portuguese Water Dog
