Hypo Allergenic Dog Breeds
Dogs to Love without Tears
The list of Hypo Allergenic Dog Breeds in the table below recommend miniature and toy dog breeds most suitable for those who suffer from allergies to animal dander or allergens
.
We have defined this list of small dog breeds with
short coats or the hairless dogs. Larger dogs which are also suitable are not included, due to their size.
Grooming the dogs listed below is easier than those small dog breeds which have fluffy, abundant coats. We have a separate list of dog breeds featuring "fluffy" dogs but which are still recommended as Hypo Allergenic dogs for people with allergies. With careful breed selection and home management, you can welcome a dog into your family.

the sun and kept warm in cold weather. Unusual dog breed, a firm favorite for something different. A superb family pet, friendly and intelligent. An excellent hypoallergenic dog breed and rare too.
Basenji dog
This dog breed does not bark but does make
"chortling sound". It is rare and hypoallergenic. He has an adorable wrinkled forehead, a smooth, silky, short coat which needs no grooming, in fact he cleans himself just like cats do. Provided he gets daily exercise, he is suitable for apartment living, however, he is most ideal for an energetic
family.
Chihuahua

travels easily and needs very little grooming. This petite dog breed needs lots of love and protection from the big bad world. He cannot tolerate cold conditions or small children. Can be demanding, so be prepared if you choose
this hypoallergenic dog breed.
Chinese Crested dog
Only the hairless variety is considered a Hypoallergenic dog breed. The Powderpuff variety has a thin fine coat. This baby too needs protection
from the cold and sunscreen outdoors. These unusual small dog breeds are really good with children and other pets. They tend to obesity and themselves can be allergic to wool. A fabulous choice for something quite different.
Italian Greyhound
A sweet, gentle soul that needs no grooming. Soft, fine coat, petite and sweet. Do not choose this gorgeous little dog
if you are out all day. He becomes depressed when alone for long periods. He wants your attention and you will want his affection in return. A fabulous companion pet, not for a boisterous family.
