No shedding dogs

So you love dogs but you are allergic to them, I can safely tell you that you can still have a dog. There are many hypoallergenic purebreds and hybrids of dogs out there. Usually people get no shedding dogs to help keep the allergens down to a minimum. Shed free dogs does not mean that you still cannot develop allergic reactions to them. Allergies can still occur from the dogs skin and saliva.


There are many low shedding breeds that are not listed here but popular ones include the Yorkshire Terrier, Poodle, Shih Tzu, Maltese, Havanese, Portugese water dogs, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Schnauzer, Tibetan Terrier, Toy Poodle, Welsh Terrier and Whippet. These dogs shed very little but may still require grooming or light brushing.


Remember that no shedding does not mean that you may not be allergic to these dogs so it is a good idea to do a trial visit before you make a decision. Count on spending a few hours with them to see if you are experiencing any sort of allergies some reactions are almost immediate. It will be well worth it in the long run if you are that much into finding mans best friend.


From my personal experience, some people may be able to tolerate short haired dogs even if they shed. I know I am allergic to shepherds and not so allergic to short haired dogs such as pit bulls and boxers. Everyone is different and your allergies as well as the severity of it vary from person to person. Always remember that all dogs require some form for maintenance care that comes with the responsibility of owning a pet.
