If a person is allergic to dogs, is a Westie a good dog to have?
Yvonne says: Sometimes! Many people who are allergic to dogs are not allergic to Westies. However, some people who are allergic do react to Westies. If you are allergic and are looking for a breed of dog that will not stimulate your allergies, you should make a point of visiting someone who owns a Westie and spend some time indoors with the dog. This is the best way to find out if you will react. If you are allergic, it is even more important than usual to keep your pet properly groomed and brushed out.
