10 Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds for Allergic Families

When someone is allergic to dogs, it doesn't exactly mean that their body produces an immune response because of the animal itself, but because of particular allergens they produce. The most common allergens are proteins found in their saliva, dandruff and sebaceous glands on their skin and hair.
If you or someone in your family is allergic to these, you'll be happy to know that there are hypoallergenic dog breeds out there.
Watch our video to discover them! You won't want to miss it!
On AnimalWised you'll discover a high quality channel that's exclusively devoted to the Animal Kingdom.

My girlfriend has samoyed at our house. He is so adorable and cuteeee :) But Im having a super bad alergy of Samoyed Hair. Its sheeds a lot. Even the fur can be everywhere. 1. Samoyed shreeds a lot. I swear A LOT 2. Even only the fur that stick on my clothes, can make me cough for hours 3. Everytime i bring him inside our room, i will coughing untill my chest hurt Suggestion 1. Please make sure you check the samoyed fur, bringing them with you for 7-10days 2. If you alergic, then samoyed not fit you 3. Check which alergan that makes you alergic. Is it the fur? Saliva? Or dandur?

[@cayleeanderson2787]

Wow! Because I'm highly allergic to the saliva and Samoyed is like 1 of the only breeds I can have around me! No reaction at all! I love them!

[@KarinShah]

Your allergy may be to pollen that gets in the Sami’s coat and not the hair itself. That said, some people are just very sensitive to any danger or saliva.

Personal experience : I have little allergic reaction to dogs in general and I own a samoyed. Despite the heavy shedding, I have no allergic issue. Samoyeds are great dogs

[@i.k5143]

Because allergies aren't in the fur but in the dander and Samoyeds produce none dander. Thinking of getting one myself but after a decade with a non stop shedding white cat, I'm not so sure...

[@TheLadySakai]

Read up on the greyhounds they are nicknamed the "45 mph couchpotato" and they take that reputation litterally, we often say that our greys (and other sighthounds) has two speeds, 45 mph and zero, they love their lounging / sleeping (think cat in a dogs body) they love it as much as they like their short burst runs (zoomies). I have a retired racing greyhound (english) and she is so laid, she needs her 18-20 hours sleep a day. Most of the sighthounds are lazy bones inside, and contrary what people think, they make good apartment dogs. As long as they can lounge on the sofa, bed or a nice soft cushion, have cuddles, food and snacks (keep an eye on them though as 99% of them are sneaky thieves :D ) few nice walks a day it will be a very happy dog. The Italian Greyhounds (IGs or Iggy) has a bit more energy and dont run as fast as the big greys. Most sighhound do have a long "childhood" they are mischievious and some tend to be a bit hyper, until the age of 2-3 years old. After that they will grow up and be calm , well unless they see a rabbit, cat, babybird, deer, basicly anything fluffy and running (moving) then their preyinstinct kicks in, this is a dog that has been bred for at least 5000 years for hunting, they will hunt the prey down and kill it, that is pure instinct, that is why lot of breeders, kennels, rescues ask that you have a muzzle on it when you are out, they also advice that you do not take the dog off leash unless you are in a secure, enclosed area (bevare some sighthounds are really good jumpers) cos if the dog sees a rabbit/cat/deer/babybird/other potential prey, you can forget all about recall, it will not listen.

Bichon Frise is at the top of my list, but I wonder how much cost is involved in care and grooming and vet bills. and that's not including the cost to purchase a puppy.

I thought I wasn't allergic to dogs anymore because it's been 4 years since I got an allergic reaction so I thought it was fine but no it was bad. When I was in my grandparents car I started to feel itchy and sick I thought I got bit by some mosquitoes. Then when I was getting ready to sleep I got hives and then I knew I was still allergic to dogs. Fast forward 2 years later my school had a little presentation about dogs there was a dog there.

It will be hit or miss by breed. You may not tolerate any. Try a hairless breed or something that stays super clean like a basenji. Any dog that has hair instead of fur. Check a list of hypoallergenic dogs. Even those may generate allergies for some people but it’s a good place to start!
