Could my dog be a carrier for ringworm?

For the last seven months My dog has been to three vets and tried all kinds of fungal medicine, shampoos and cremes, but the say he doesn't have it.The problem is: I, my sister and my 4 year old niece have gotten dozens and dozens of them, back to back. In that time his skin scrape tested negative for fungus. I just wanna know could dogs still carry this without having ringworm themselves?

ringworm can live in wooden gates doors etc.. it could pay you to get the house cleaned... I used to keep animals (cows) and ringworm is a bovine disease which is very difficult to errdicate in farm buildings... even clean livestock can be infected over and over from dirty buildings. Sorry but you need to clean your house.

Reply:Not to my knowledge. It can also be on old clothes, were you or your sister clearing out an old closet or attic.
