[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 264039, member: 13451"] Regarding the hypo dogs, no specific breed can or can't be a hypo dog. Any breed of dog, provided it has the talent, can be trained to detect hypos. Equally, any breed of dog may turn out to be unsuccessful, the talent lies with the individual dog and not the breed of dog. However having said that I suspect some breeds may be more successful than others, but the breed doesn't guarantee success. I'd also like to say that don't be fooled into thinking a poodle cross anything will not shed, some of them may not shed but some can. Someone I know has a labrador cross poodle (labradoodle) and it sheds plenty. Don't get a dog because you want it to be a hypo dog, unless your daughter needs an assistance dog, then get one through the charity that is already trained and comes with proven success. If you want a pet anyway, and it would be a bonus to have it detect hypos then that's fine but be aware that whatever dog you get it may not have the talent to do the work so don't be disappointed if it turns out that way. :D [/QUOTE]
