AboutBeth Adams Expertise I have 10+ yrs rescuing Cairn terriers. Ask me about rescue work and re-homing rescued terriers. I am also proudly owned by a Jack Russell Terrier rescue. I am also keenly aware that terriers are significantly different from other kinds of dogs, and often not the best choice for some owners.
HOWEVER I AM NOT A VET! PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IN-DEPTH MEDICAL QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED ONLY TOWARDS MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH BASIC MEDICAL QUESTIONS/NEEDS THAT I CAN OFFER MY PERSONAL OPINION ON. If you ask me questions about breeding, please expect me to be direct about my opinion on this topic.

Question how are rat terriers for people with dog allergies?
Answer Misty -
The issue of dog allergies is a little complicated, and I'm putting a link below that clarifies the myths about pet allergies.
Here are a couple of quotes that explain the basics:
All dogs and cats – short-haired, long-haired, wire-haired, curly-haired, even hairless—are potentially allergic. .. The reason Poodles, Bichons Frises, Bedlington and Kerry Blue Terrier dogs are thought to be "safe" is probably because they are shampooed and groomed regularly and therefore cast off less dander in the home.
