Let me splain you, jheem. The haircuts have nothing to do with the allergy thang; what I meant was poodles have hair, which grows, and needs to be cut, unlike fur, which doesn't. Apparently hair isn't an allergen, while fur is.
My head is spinning. I must needs look into this. Sounds fishy to me.

jheem is correct about dander (discarded skin) being the real problem. (take it from someone who was once allergic to nearly *everything.) the onliest relation to pet hair (and its length) is that long-hair pets which run around outside tend to collect other allergens such as grasses, molds and pollen.

I allus understood that it isn't even the dander, it's the saliva of the mites that live in the dander.

Then he started moving and I realized that he had actually been standing up. Somebody's black lab had escaped and met a beagle. The result was a slightly overweight, extra-droopy black lab with 3 inch legs.

Scoodles is starting to look like it should mean lots and lots, as in "I met this really dreamy Dr. and he's just got scoodles of money."
