Hypoallergenic Dogs

If you suffer from allergies, you may want to consider hypoallergenic dogs. Bichon frises, Shi Tzus, Brussel Griffons, and Basenjis are some of the many options. Each one has its unique features and specific characteristics. Learn more about these dogs below. You may also consider a Bergamasco Shepherd if you want a large dog that doesn't shed dander.

Bichon Frise's

Bichon Frisés are small dogs of the bichon type. Their coats are made from fine-textured hair and are hypoallergenic. Since they are hypoallergenic, owners can be assured of safe handling and healthy life for their dog.

Shi Tzus

The Shi Tzu is a toy dog that originated in Tibet. Its ancestors are the Lhasa Apso and Pekingese. Since they are small, they are an excellent choice for allergy sufferers.

Brussel Griffons

The toy dog breed known as the Hypoallergenic Brussel Griffons is the perfect pet for people who are sensitive to the dander and fur of dogs. This dog breed originated in Brussels, Belgium. While the name may mean one dog, there are three varieties of this breed.

Basenjis

Basenjis are considered to be hypoallergenic dogs. Although these dogs do not have an apparent allergy to most household items, they need plenty of exercise and attention. They can be knowledgeable, affectionate, and independent. While they are not barkers, they can be a little loud. If your neighbors have a barking dog, this breed may not be the best choice for them.

American Hairless Terrier

The American Hairless Terrier is a hypoallergenic dog that is easy to train. They require moderate exercise, such as a daily 30-minute walk. They should be handled with care and confined to a fenced yard. The hairless American hair may become destructive if left unsupervised for an extended period, but it does not shed much and is an excellent dog for people with allergies.

Tibetan terrier

While a Tibetan terrier may not be 100% hypoallergenic, it is still a good option for allergy sufferers. Despite its long, silky coat, the Tibetan Terrier doesn't shed much. These dogs are amiable and family-oriented. These dogs are also highly trainable, making them a good choice for families with children who suffer from allergies.
