We could not fault our dogs bastards uncontrollable cause this allergic reaction because dogs naturally shed hair, hair, saliva and the release or secretion of the sebaceous glands.

Hypoallergenic Dogs - List

We have heard the phrases "hypoallergenic dogs" and "dogs not-delete" used a lot. But what do they want? What is a hypoallergenic dog?

First, the dictionary definition of hypo-allergenic (or hypoallergenic) is "to have a lower tendency to cause an allergic reaction."

Note that it is hypoallergenic does not mean that something will not cause an allergic reaction.

The scientific fact of the matter is that:

1. No dog isNo dog is completely hypoallergenic second totally shed.

Incredibly, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates that up to 10 million suffer from some form of allergy American. No wonder there are so many people out there looking for a pet that will not make you sneeze or wheeze around the clock.

Well, there's some good news for dog lovers .... First of all, cats are much more likely to cause allergies in dogs Secondly, although nothing is guaranteed,an allergy sufferer is much less likely to suffer a reaction to breed a hypoallergenic dog. They may also suffer any reaction.

We can honestly say that this is true in our family. We chose Max, a Miniature Schnauzer, due to allergies and now - four years - we can honestly say that we have almost no allergic reaction to Max. Maybe an occasional sneeze when he needs a bath or a trip to the tracks to cut, but that's all.

Another advantageis that we do not really find any dog hair around the house, is great. When visiting friends and their dogs - the Cairn Terrier that is Ruby, and - even worse - Charlie the Labrador Retriever (good dog, but masses of hair that is not particularly fond .....), I think it is dog hair around then home for weeks!

With the dog because it is a way of hypoallergenic, non-paid.

Most people think that pet allergiesAllergic to animal hair, but this is not the case. What they actually are allergic to proteins - or allergens. These are the oil glands of animals and then spread with the flakes of skin - or cell death. (These proteins are also in saliva, urine and dog.)

All dogs - even the so-called "hairless" breeds have hair, saliva and urine. Non shedding dog breeds - like all three types of Schnauzers - have a double layer. The upper mantle istough and wiry, the undercoat is soft and close to the skin.

This type of jacket raises only if the dog is grooming several months. Hypoallergenic dogs does not change practice. (You can find the occasional dog hair around the house). Their fur does not shed like the skin triggered severe case dogs.

Non shedding puppies a popular choice for people with allergies. If you are thinking of getting a try and spend some 'time alone with the puppyto determine from the breeder, which - eventually - the reaction you have. Allergic symptoms does not always happen immediately - it can sometimes be delayed for a few days. You can also vary from one race to another - or even from one dog to another within the same breed.

Of course there is no guarantee that suffer from allergies. But one thing you can be sure of is that the probability of an allergic reaction to a dog so far, and if you do not choose a shedHypo-allergenic breed.

There are a surprising number of hypoallergenic breeds. To find out what they are, follow this link for a complete list of dog breeds allergy free.

Happy hunting!
