Learn which dog breeds are more suitable for those with pet allergies
Allergies don't have to get in the way of your enjoyment of pet ownership, especially if you're a dog person. The following is a list of dog breeds that are known to be ideal for allergy sufferers.
Schnoodle (Schnauzer X Toy Poodle)
If you or someone in your family is an allergy sufferer but you want a medium sized dog, look no further than the First or Second Generation Schnoodle.
- First Generation Schnoodle (Miniature Schnauzer crossed with the Toy Poodle). The Schnauzer has two coats, meaning it sheds less dander than other breeds and the Toy Poodle has a wool coat that does not shed at all. The result is a Schnoodle puppy with little to no shedding.
- Second Generation Schnoodle (Schnoodle x Toy Poodle) means your puppy is ¼ Schnauzer and ¾ Toy Poodle and therefore is less likely to shed than the First Generation Schnoodle. This makes Second Generation Schnoodles more popular for allergy sufferers.
- Moodle (Maltese X Toy Poodle)
The Maltese is one of the best dog breeds for allergy sufferers because of its non-shedding quality. Cross the Maltese with a Toy Poodle, who has a non-shedding wool coat, and the result is a beautiful, small, non-shedding Moodle.
Shoodle (Shih-Tzu X Toy Poodle)
The Shih-Tzu is another ideal dog breed for allergy sufferers because of its non-shedding quality. Cross the Shih-Tzu with a Toy Poodle, who has a non-shedding wool coat, and the result is a beautiful, small, non-shedding Shoodle.
