Help - it never occurred to me that we would have allergies to ourpuppy: (

We are the proud owners of a 13 wo F1 Goldendoodle - Maddie Marie. We lost our mixed shepherd of 16 years just a few months ago. None of us every reacted to her or my parents peekapoo who is at our house all of the time.

We got Maddie on Saturday and she is doing great, we are head over heals smitten - except that both my husband and I are sneezing a lot and our eyes are itchy/burning. We both have mild seasonal allergies but never an issue with animals. My son is also stuffy but I would like to chalk that up getting over a cold, he is going a lot of sniffling.

I am so upset: ( Is there anything that we can do to reduce these issues? I gave her a bath the second night she was with us thinking maybe it was dander from all of the other dogs she might have been around. I wash my hands quite a bit and tend to vacuum a lot anyway. Any thoughts? We are so taken back, it truly never occurred to us that allergies might be an issue. Our other dog shed like a maniac!

Any info/input would be greatly appreciated!
