This is a blobfish. There is was someone at my work who looked just like him. When you put his image and the above picture side by side, the similarities were uncanny! But he quit yesterday. We had a nice going away lunch for him.

My parents have one - very high-strung.

My wife and I have (admittedly light) allergies to dogs. We bought a yorkie-poo as it is one of a handful of hypo allergenic dogs.

That said, I still get a scratchy through if I get his fur in my face - So, if you are really allergic but want a dog I'd actually suggest a yorkie-poo, as they are the smallest of the hypo breads, so they don't shed, and they are physically smaller so any trace amounts of allergens (dander, whatever) is lessened then on a ~20-30lb labradoodle

This quote grossed me out at 1:18 pm. It was made by a yorkie poo's Daddy.

LOL. I hate to say anything nice about amorak, but Yorkies are cool little dogs. My mom has two of them and they are funny with how mental they can get, and the sitting on people's feet so as to not be trampled.
What's not cool is how certain owners call them their "babies", and refer to themselves as the dog's parents.

my wife is super allergic to dogs/cats

our neighbours have a maltese-poodle - he's a cute little guy and is a hypo-allergenic... the first dog my wife can actually be around - and she just loves it.

we get him all the time to 'doggie-sit'

the dog learned quick that if he wants to play - come see me, if he wants to cuddle - go see my wife!

This pic was taken at my backdoor. 1 year old lab mix and his owner's doormat.

I dunno, seems like my only options for a hypo allergenic dog are the little ankle biters?? I need a big bad dog though... Preferablly one that can smarten up my wife's stupid cats!!

I need a dog like this:

Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers are also hypo-allergenic; they only have one coat and barely shed at all.

I used to be very allergic to dogs and never thought I'd be able to get one.

Then I cut back on drinking and my allergies disappeared.

Seriously.

ya, passing out drunk while using the dog as a pillow can be a real bitch on your allergies
