These are good pets for people who stay at home because they require attention but are not the best dogs for children. They make dependable guard dogs and require exercise and grooming. They are reliable, obedient dogs that are good guide dogs and make fabulous family pets. These are active and energetic dogs that require a lot of exercise.

As trick-or-treaters prepare to hit the streets of Clay County in search of lit porch lights and jack-o’-lanterns, officials at the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the American Red Cross, Centers for Disease Control, American Medical Association, National Transportation Safety Board, the Indiana Poison Center and the Indiana State Police have some safety tips to help make Halloween a happy event. Avoid creating or making costumes out of clothing made with flimsy materials and outfits with big, baggy sleeves or billowing skirts or oversized pants to prevent children from getting caught on something and tripping and/or falling. The American Red Cross urges parents and guardians to talk with their children about why they should not enter homes or apartments unless accompanied with an adult and take the opportunity to discuss “stranger danger. Older goblins, which might have become bored with the childish side of Halloween, should be reminded that mischievous behavior and what some might consider harmless pranks, like throwing corn and toilet paper at houses, has potential — and possibly dangerous or legal — consequences.

I’d recommend you start with a list of dogs whose dander is considered less allergenic than most, the so-called ”hypoallergenic” breeds. Though you may be won over by the newfound popularity of hybrid breeds, they’re considered unreliable for those who have allergies because of the variability of their genetic makeup. Because getting a dog is such a big decision and the heartbreak of having to return an already-loved dog can be so stressful (especially to children), I recommend that you either wait until your child is mature enough to handle this potential outcome or that you perform a ”quick and dirty” compatibility test with the dog you plan to purchase. For this test your son should spend 30 minutes in an enclosed space with the prospective pet (such as a car or a small room). We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point.
