Question: What dog breeds are good for allergies?

Answer: Unfortunately, there are no truly allergen-free dog breeds. Any and every dog will cause some degree of allergies in certain people prone to allergies and asthma. However, there is hope.

Single-coated dog breeds have been touted as "hypo-allergenic" for years now, and although they do still have dander, the amount is significantly less than dog with a double coat. Want to know which breeds they are? Check here: What type of dogs do not shed?
