Hi, Megan!
Thanks again for your design work. : )
How about this for off-topic...
http://www.ashburydesigns.com/family/jimandnan/gertie.html
I need to get myself a dog. I'm thinking Bernese Mountain Dog. Any one have other suggestions?
I live in a house with a moderately-sized back yard. I have a wife and two young girls. One of them may be allergic to dogs. Is there any such thing as a hypoallergenic dog that isn't a poodle?

Aren't those Egyptian dogs supposed to be essentially hairless, rendering them extraordinarily low on the allergic-reaction scale?

That's part of my problem. I like hairy dogs! 8 (
Mike likes dogs too. Especially ones with wet, cold noses when he's wearing shorts....
Something about herbavore's....

Are you talking about a Pharaoh Hound? They're beautiful. I hear they really need to run though; they're not a breed for a sedentary family.
I knew a family in which one member had severe allergies, and they had a Bichon frise, which they said was hypoallergenic. They're little, white, froofy dogs though, nothing like a Bernese.

Hmm. akc.org is a great site.
Someone buy me one of the following for my birthday: : )
Akita
Bernese Mountain Dog
Great Pyrenees
Kuvasz
Newfoundland
Samoyed
Siberian Husky
Norwegian Elkhound
Australian Shepherd
Border Collie
Notice how they are all big, hairy, goofy, and not at all hypoallergenic? Do you seen my dilemna? It's a connundrum. A quandry. We are, as they say, at an impasse. 8 ]

Maybe some genetic engineering is in order. Frankendogs is what I'm talking about. Bernese Pharoah Dogs. Bichon Pyrenees. Newfoodles.
By the way, you probably already know this, but there are some really helpful books out there like Right Dog for You, Perfect Match, and Your Purebred Puppy: A Buyer's Guide. If I hadn't already sold mine at Powell's, I'd have donated them to the Head family. Oh well!

Why am I not surprised that the illithid proposes genetic engineering? ;) Newfoodles is the coolest word I've seen all day!
Mmm...Powell's...'bout the only thing I miss from moving away from Portland. Well, that and Portland' mass-transit system. TriMet puts Metro to shame...
Hmm...Mass Transit Deathmatches...
Newfoodles!

Hate to put the old skool smack down on the frankendogs, but where I come from we call them muts and they're 2 for $5 at the pound! 8 ] (No offense to the muts, and God forgive me, but I do like dogs with some breeding. Unless it's too much breeding, and then it just makes me sick, and I'm all like, oh, dude, lets start over with a fresh Canis lupus, and put this other... thing... out of it's look-I've-got-hip-dysplasia-just-like-my-mommy and/or I-can't-breathe-without-surgery misery.)
Of course, you probably mean isolating the gene that makes them hypoallergenic, in which case... Yyyyes! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
(As long as they're still big, hairy, goofy, and lovable beyond all reason.)
Now that's what I like to call "off-topic"!
Heh.
OMG.
I don't know what in the world I was thinking when I posted that. Great reply though, Gary Teter. You had me laughing for like 20 minutes.
Uhh, something "on topic" . . .
I have a dog. . .pretty good dog . . .had to put down her brother because he was too violent. That sucked.
Never owned a cat. Might be interesting.
What? Nothing about mice?
