Thank you. Nope I think there is no dog I won't be allergic to now. I think lizards are a good option for stepson (doesn't appeal to me much and I'll probably end up looking after it a lot!). I did wonder about chinchillas but they are nocturnal as well. What is interesting (and miserable) I find is different dog breeds create different kinds of allergic reactions. Dogs with smooth coats that moult a lot - like labradors etc - trigger very bad asthma I know that. Terrier types don't trigger asthma but I get terrible skin problems - just touching one or being licked by one. I expected skin problems with a poodle but not severe asthma.

I am wondering about an outdoor cat. We could do with one - the rabbits keep eating everything in the garden since next door lost their cat. But really stepson wants an indoor pet to cuddle and do things with.
