No dog is completely allergen-free, but some low-shedding breeds are popular with allergy sufferers.
What does hypoallergenic mean?
Allergens come from dander, saliva and urine as well as hair, so a low-shedding coat can reduce, not eliminate, exposure.
Popular low-shedding breeds
- Poodles and Poodle mixes such as Goldendoodles
- Bernedoodles: mini bernedoodle, micro bernedoodle and full grown bernedoodle sizes
- Bichon Frise, Portuguese Water Dog and Schnauzers
Coat care
Doodles need regular brushing and grooming. Goldendoodle haircuts vary from teddy bear to short, but all need upkeep.
