Do you have allergies? If so you may find it hard to adopt or purchase a dog because of your health. However, there are breeds that may not aggravate those allergies. Have you heard of the term ‘hypoallergenic dog’? Are you familiar with the meaning? A dog that is called hypoallergenic is usually a dog that has low dander and shedding which makes it low on the allergen list. Dander is pet fur which causes allergic reactions in people. Most dogs that are hypoallergenic have hair instead of fur, which is why people with allergies are able to keep hypoallergenic dogs. Examples of these breeds include the Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, Chinese Crested, Irish Water Spaniel, Maltese, Poodle (standard, miniature, or toy), Miniature, standard, and giant Schnauzer, etc. There are even mixed breeds that have been developed including the Goldendoodle and Labradoodle which are part hypoallergenic and may work for those with allergies.
