[B]Our first purchase[B], a pet carrier to bring home our forever (unknown) pet,Yippee!
Now we are learning about very small hypoallergenic dogs and what type dogs fit that category. Further the sweet dog cannot by nature exceed 8 lbs. We are special needs category but neither of us are in a wheelchair or bedridden yet[B] (happy to say). Our daughter in law sent us photos of a rescued dog owned by a friend of hers. It is a teacup yorkie (I am in love) but realistically the dog is really tiny with specific special needs of its own because of its tiny size.
I believe so far the next size up would be a miniature or toy yorkie. Would I be correct? Also, what other breed of dogs would be hypoallergenic and not exceed 8 lbs.?
As you read, you know we are moving forward with our plan to rescue a precious dog but we are still in the research phase so any help from you pet owners and pet lovers, is greatly appreciated.
