HYPOALLERGENIC DOGS!

 Hello beautiful people, today is Friday and it's Pet day! Yeiihh! I'm going to tell you about hypoallergenic dog breeds.

Hypoallergenic dog breeds are dog breeds that are said to be safer than other breeds for those with allergies, although according to a New York Times article allergists believe that "all theories of safe breeds are just expressions of desire."

For most people, the main allergen is a protein found in saliva and dandruff and abrasions from the dog's skin, produced by the sebaceous glands. According to statements by Dr. Wanda Phipatanakul, head of the Committee on Internal Allergens of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology to the U.S. magazine News & World Report "Even if you own a hairless dog, it will still produce an allergen."

If you are one of those who love dogs but suffer from terrible allergies, I leave you here this top 5 dog breeds that can be recommended for people who suffer from allergies.

• 1 Hairless American Terrier

The American hairless terrier is one of the most recommended for people with allergies for two reasons: it has no hair and it does not produce dandruff. Although it is a rare breed, the truth is that it is a very active, intelligent and affectionate dog. They have a sculpted body and elegant appearance.

• 2 Yorkshire Terrier

For allergy sufferers living in apartments, the yorkshire terrier is the perfect dog. With virtually no hair shedding, the small amount of allergens it can produce is minimal. Of course, you will have to brush your yorkshire terrier daily to prevent its hair from getting tangled and dirty.

• 3 Schnauzer

In addition to being one of the most popular dogs for its beauty, variety of sizes and easy training, the schnauzer is also suitable for allergy sufferers due to the small amount of hair it sheds. It is an active and very playful breed, which usually gets along well with both adults and children willing to offer them all their love, since they could easily feel sad and adopt a negative attitude if they do not receive enough attention or spend many hours alone in House.

• 4 Shih Tzu

Of Chinese origin, the Shih Tzu is suitable for both allergy sufferers and asthmatics as it is part of dogs that do not shed hair. It is a very loving, active and intelligent breed that loves the company of its owners and other people. To keep his cloak in perfect condition, you should offer him daily brushing and haircuts made by the dog groomer.

• 5 Airedale Terrier

In the line of medium and large dog breeds, the largest terrier is also ideal for allergy sufferers for not losing any hair. This dog is extremely protective and gets along very well with children, it is intelligent, affectionate and easy to train. It requires weekly brushing and haircuts to keep it well groomed.

However there is a breed that has been "created" especially for allergy sufferers, it is the Labradoodle, it is a mix of Labrador Retriever and Poodle. The first breeder to bring this breed of dog to life was Wally Conron in 1989 and it was for an adult couple in Hawaii, they needed a suitable dog for their situation.

But this crossing must be done with extreme care and exhaustive work in the selection, since it must have certain genetic characteristics, therefore, it must be carried by a breeder who is recognized by the European Labradoodle Association in Australia so that these dogs can enjoy good health and can fulfill their purpose of being totally hypoallergenic.

Those who enjoy the company of these beautiful animals express their opinions saying that they are great, awake, intelligent dogs, extremely affectionate and very suitable for service dog jobs. But they need a lot of exercise, mental stimulation and company, since they could get depressed when they are alone all day at home.

These are some of the "hypoallergenic" races but there are many others that can help you to lead a normal life with the best and most faithful friend of man; And woman! But at the end of it all, keep in mind that not all allergy sufferers are the same, and what works well for you, another person may not tolerate. It is always advisable to consult your trusted doctor, before having problems and an outcome that nobody wants. 

XOXO Li.
