I've had dogs all my life and never had this problem. Any time my ACD hugs me or plays, I break out in hives and get all itchy. Same if he bits at me, playfully in his own way I guess, will I get itchy too. Just wondering if anyone else has had this, kinda stupid question but makes me curious. And I have no allergies to dogs. They have coat like no other dog I've seen. Thanks!!
I get this same reaction from my Jack Russell Terriers at certain times of the year. I don't think it is my dog's dander so much, but maybe something they bring in from outdoors perhaps.
Different coat types can cause different reactions...... sounds like you are allergic in some way Take a piriton and see if that helps any
