there’s a certain breed of dog that gives no allergic reactions to those afflicted with such reactions.
I forget the breed name but my neighbors have two of them.
Studies suggest hypoallergenic cats and dogs can cause just as many symptoms as the regular kind, says James Seltzer, MD, a spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. That’s because skin and saliva proteins, not just hair, trigger allergy symptoms.
The only pets proven to be hypoallergenic have scaly skin—like iguanas and snakes, he says.
The dog's own grooming habits have more to do with it than anything else, because contrary to popular belief, most humans are not allergic to fur, but to enzymes in the dog's saliva. That's why more people are allergic to cats, who police themselves more. Yorkies and Poodles are generally high on the list of "hypoallergenic" dogs. A lot of people severely allergic to other cat breeds can tolerate Maine coons.
But the only thing you can really do is buy the dog and see...
Mine is a mix breed of bichon frise and shih tzu. They do not shed, are hypoallergenic. Range from small to medium sze. They have hair versus fur. Soft as a teddy bear, which is what they are called. sweetest dog ever.
