What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Legs?

I have gradually been breaking out with itchy welts over the last two days generally on my legs. I believe it is possibly an allergic reaction. Started moving into a new house 5 days ago, the previous owners had a dog. Since I am allergic to dogs, I can only assume that I am breaking out in hives because of the visible dog hair located throughout the house. Seeking your advice, is my assumption probably right or could it be something else? I have no fever or aching. Just itching welts. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
