The family is getting a dog. We haven’t had one in a few years since we had to put our Lab down. I am going with a particular breed, Wire-Haired Pointing Griffon for a few reasons, not least of which is that they are a “hypo-allergenic” breed (I don’t actually believe any breed is 100% hypo-allergenic but we need a dog that doesn’t shed much due to my one son’s allergies. The Lab came before the boy but now we can choose wiser).
Here’s a picture of the litter we are getting a pup from. They are a week old now.
