small hypoallergenic dog breeds

[nok13]

whatever. my kids were treated by some of the best lung docs and allegists in jerusalem area and i have many friends in medical fields, this is what they have taught me... that allergies are an individual thing and what causes a reaction in one person might not in an other or vice versa and not all skin and serum tests are definitive as there is a synergical affect for allergys (like me drinking red wine during olive tree pollen season, i become instantly acutely asthmatic, needing injected cortisone and serum for example).
but wont argue. many's the dog that ends up at the shelter because although considered hypoallergenic , soemone still reacted to the animals skin secretions during a eucalyptus tree pollen season or whatever and there was a synergy affect. (another allergen here that is devastting just like pecan mango or olive tree pollen. catastrophic.)

We wanted to get a Goldendoodle! But we fell in love with this mutt at the pet store! We named her Bailey! She 12 or 14 weeks old! My dog Stella is 3 years old! She grew up so fast! Your dog is so cute! How old is he/she?

Actually, Italian Greyhounds were listed as one of the top 10 Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds on the first site that comes up when I Google searched Hypoallergenic Dogs.

However, I would definitely say that allergens are personal, there is scientific evidence that "hypoallergenic" breeds have as much dander as non-hypoallergenic dogs.

true but! They are not the best. For allergies thanks though!

Groomer for many yrs. here and a vet's assistant at one time. Nope, there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic breed. Allergies are caused by saliva and dander. All dogs shed, some just do it at a much lower rate than others. It's mistakenly believed that a dog's sole reason for whether it's hypoallergenic or not depends on how much the dog sheds. This is only partially true though. See, when a dog licks itself, the protein in their saliva, which is the real cause of reaction in allergy sufferers, sticks to the dander. In high shedding dogs, the dander (with the saliva) is released into the environment more. With a lower shedding dog, it doesn't get released as much. With dogs such as wirehaired type terriers, older generations of "Doodles," Maltese, Yorkies, Poodles, Bichons, etc., they are believed to be hypoallergenic because they shed at a very low rate.

As far as the "Doodles," how much one sheds depends on how many generations into the cross you are, meaning F1, F2, F3 and so on. Doodles are a mix of Labs and Poodles (and now Goldens and Poodles). The majority of early generation crosses shed because they haven't been bred long enough to pick up the full characteristics breeders were striving for - in other words, until a type of coat was set (the curly Poodle coat). See, these dogs were originally bred for the allergic blind to use as guide dogs. Both breeds are intelligent. Labs are used a lot as guide dogs. Poodles shed at a very low rate. It's believed by some that Labs don't put off as much of an allergen as other breeds, but still put off enough to cause an issue. This mix of breeds was the perfect solution for those who are blind and suffer allergies. Anyway, I hope you all get what I mean...I tried not to get too technical with this.

As for Italian Greyhounds, they typically are not considered hypoallergenic dogs, as they shed a bit. Same goes with Lhasas. They may, however, be better for a person because they don't shed as much as other breeds though.

Hope this helps.
