Hypoallergenic dogs
Menu
First of all....entirely hypoallergenic dogs do not exist and neither do totally allergy-free dog breeds.
So, if you have allergies there`s no single dog that will magically NOT set off your symptoms. But luckily there is some good news too......
There ARE dogs who are less likely to produce an allergic reaction in people who have sensitivities or allergies to dog hair/dander.

Just as there are a lot of dogs that can make good pets in this type of situation, there are others that are NOT a good choice for a home with allergy sufferers.
When you`re looking for your new pet, it`s useful to know which breeds are best to avoid. They include.....
Afghan Hound Basset Hound Bloodhound Chinese Shar Pei Cocker Spaniel Doberman Pinscher Dogue de Bordeaux | Great Pyrenees Irish Setter Mastiffs (of all kinds) Newfoundland Springer Spaniel Saint Bernard |
One last point that I`d like to mention is that although your primary goal is to find a hypoallergenic dog so that your allergy issues are less (or even non-existent) - also remember that each and every dog breed has it`s own unique blend of characteristics and traits.
It`s important to get all the other variables right as well if you want your new family member to `fit in`. So do look at size, temperament, drive and all the other things that make a dog who he (or she) is, and don`t choose based on coat type or drool-level alone!
