Comment on Hperallergenic Dogs Part 1 by Kathy Gapske

Just wanted to say, I ended up with an awesome wonder dog by accident. This week, her DNA test came back and it was a surprise. She is half American Hairless Terrier (hairless Rat Terrier variety) and half Poodle. My husband and I both have allergies and have had to move our cats outside. We tend to react to our friend’s Rat Terriers, Daschunds, Labs, especially Pugs. But never to Gracie. Now we know why. It appears that someone had deliberately bred a completely hypoallergenic dog (Hairless, no dander) with a mostly hypoallergenic dog (Poodle). Her hair is beautiful, if a little crazy. It’s not curly, but it is a little afro-y. Its also long and parts down the middle. Despite that fact, I’ve only seen just a tiny fuzz or two come off of her. We never have to vacuum our house or couches or car seats to get her hair off. She just isn’t a shedder, although just like a person when I brush her, some of the hair comes out. Hair aside, she has an unbelieveably fun temperament. She is a mix between Lap Dog and Sporting Dog. Amazing retrieval, bird dog, incredibly fast probably 25+ mph. She is beautiful to watch. Spends 100% of her time with me, she is very loyal. Also had the two cats when we got her, and she loves them. (Will bark at neighbor cats that aren’t part of her pack tho) She also chases away the raccoon. Very great intelligence and obedience, learns English vocab very quick. I can’t vouch for allergy sufferers everywhere, as all of us are different. I can say truly that my skin will break out with dermatitis with some breeds, especially boxers and pugs, the short coats. I also get snotty and eye itchy. Not so with Gracie. So if you are wanting an adorable cute dog that is portable, adaptable, intelligent, doesn’t shed, and isn’t 100% hairless (so you don’t have to put sunscreen and shirts on it), I might recommend finding a breeder who will breed the Poodle with the Hairless Rat Terrier. We were very lucky with Gracie, I don’t think the neighbors knew or appreciated what they got, and now she’s a permanent part of our family!

@RingneckDoveFan
The whales are trained with whistles in the place of clickers and the method, Total Positive Reinforcement Only is used with them.

The Killer Whale could not consume the trainer only because the trainer was ripped from its jaws by other trainers.

It’s nice to find a Chicago area dog trainer that specializes in potty training dogs.
