Lexie and Chubby - my hypo-allergenic dogs!

Whenever I tell people, I got a hypo-allergenic dog, they would all laugh! Lexie and Chubby are both Bichon Frise's. Bichon Frise is known for not shedding hair, and thus is perfect for people with allergies or asthma.

It all started with my mom. She loved dogs so much but since she had asthma, we couldn't have a dog at home. My niece did some research and when she found out there is a breed of dog that is hypo-allergenic, she immediately told my mom about it. The breeder was selling her Bichon puppies. So my mom got one named Chubby about 8 years ago, and he came to us when he was 5 months old. Chubby has been a very happy and loving dog, and kept my mom company all the time. My mom passed away two years ago and left me Chubby. I had Chubby mated last year, and so out comes Lexie, one of the three daughters that Chubby had with a friend's Bichon named Ivory. Lexie has been with me for 8 months already and is now about 10 months old. She is even more loving than Chubby, probably also because she is a female dog.
