Hypoallergenic dog has a lowered tendency to cause allergies or reactions to allergy dog lovers. There is no pure 100% hypoallergenic dog! Allergy suffers react to similar breeds of dogs differently. Every person has a unique allergic threshold.

Dander is the actual cause to people with allergies, not the hair. Hypoallergenic dogs are producing allergens but some coat types will produce fewer than others. Two coats dogs produce less amounts ofallergens, and the hairless types can actually produce enough dander to effect allergy people.

If there is a dog you want and wonder if it will make you allergy even though its a hypoallergenic dog ask your breeder if you can see one of his dogs. Go to the breeder's from home and stay 20-30 minutes then go directly home and take note what happens. Here is a list of some of the hypoallergenic dogs to consider:
