Question
I'd like to know if the BT lose lot of hair.
I'm allergic(?) to dogs and cat, but I want one.

Thanks for your advice.

Answer
Fred, all dogs shed, but it's usually not the >>hair<< that people are allergic to. It's the >>dander<<, and all adult dogs produce dander to some extent. Do you know for a fact that your allergy is to the fur itself? If it is not, and you are actually allergic to pet dander, it isn't going to make any difference how much the dog sheds.

The only way to keep dander under control is by frequent bathing, which is not good for our pets' skin and coat. Using bathing wipes to wipe them down each day also helps, as well as many prescription medications.
