Before reading through our list of hypo allergenic dogs, please keep in mind
that all dogs carry small amounts of allergens or can pick
up allergens from outside in their fur and further, each specific
dog within a breed may cause different allergic responses. To keep the allergy
risk low you should bath and groom as frequently as your breeder suggests. (Bathing
some dogs too often will remove oils from their coat, causing their skin to
flake and potentially cause allergies) If your family is especially
sensitive to a pet’s dander you should be careful about having your pet
groomed in the vicinity of other breeds, or should request specifically that
the dog be rinsed after he is clipped. (Most groomers bathe and then clip to
keep the oils from the dogs skin out of their clippers)
Below is a list of hypo Allergenic dogs. If you are looking for a hypo Allergenic
dog to bring into a home with family members with allergies any of these dogs
may be a match for your home. No dog is 100% hypo Allergenic, but most people
allergic to dogs react different ways to different breeds. Even if your allergic
family member has a reaction to a particular breed of dog the breeder claims
is hypo allergenic that family member may be fine with other breeds deemed hypo
allergenic.
