There are a million reasons why everyone should have a dog. It seems like these fantastic
creatures exist to improve human lives in every possible way. Even caring for them benefits us
because it makes us more active and emphatic. Unfortunately, some people suffer from allergies,
and having a furry pet worsens things. But not every dog breed will do that to your poor allergic
self. Here are the best hypoallergenic dog breeds for people with allergies because everyone
deserves the joy of owning this four-legged darling.
Bichon Frise – your curly follower
This highly popular breed is a great indoor pet but not suitable for living outside. It is relatively
small and eager to play or lounge on the sofa with you all day. That makes these fluffies perfect
companions for people of all ages. Caring for these dogs is a bit more challenging because of
their white, constantly growing, soft fur. It gets dirty very easily, and it mats unless you comb it
at least every other day. If you don’t like that idea, you can always cut your Bichon’s coat to a
more manageable close cut. Many prefer to take their naturally curly Bichon Frise to the groomer
to prepare them for the summer. Also, these white darlings are a bit chatty, so you can expect a
lot of barking from them. Overall, they make amazing flatmates that will never make you sneeze.
Poodle – a dog and a fashion accessory all in one
Poodles come in different colors and sizes. One almost expects them to be sold at Macy’s.
Depending on your taste and living space dimensions, you can get a toy, standard or large
Poodle. Also, they come in black, white, and apricot color, as if someone has designed them to
match the interiors of people’s homes. But these dogs are much more than fashion accessories.
These are pretty healthy dogs for such a kind that came about after such a particular breeding
procedure.
What makes them great pets is that they are extremely intelligent and easy to train, among
other things. Poodles are energetic dogs, though, requiring quite a bit of exercise. Luckily, they
will let you know very clearly that they want you to take them out or toss them a stick. Their
DNA holds pieces of hunting dog breeds which explains their need to play the game of fetch so
often. All in all, it’s a fashion model kind of dog that likes to run a lot.
Maltese – one of the best hypoallergenic dog breeds
In recent years, Maltese has arguably become Europe’s most popular dog breed. And as a
proud owner of one, I can tell you this title is by no means undeserved. The most prominent
thing about the Maltese dog breed is their need to do what you do, no questions asked. If you
want to spend all day in bed, your Maltese will sleep right next to you. Should you decide to run
for an hour or two, your white fluffy four-legged buddy will run with you. When you walk
around the house making crazy plans to conquer the world, this dog will walk by your side.
Simply speaking, it’s a poster companion dog for lonely souls and those who are not.
Giant Schnauzer – the one member of your family that doesn’t mind living in the yard
This black beauty among our hypoallergenic dog breeds is perfect for families with kids. Larger
dogs, in general, are very patient with their owners’ children as opposed to the tiny ones that fear
for their lives. Although, like the Poodle, the Schnauzer comes in three sizes – toy, standard and
giant – we suggest getting the largest one. If you have a house, these gentle giants can knock all
from your living room table once their very high doses of energy start driving them. They do
shed, though, which is another feature that makes them more suitable for living in a house with a
yard.
However, one of the downsides of having a large dog is that traveling with it or getting someone
to babysit it is challenging. Making long-distance moves might be even more difficult. For
example, hiring long-distance movers might be a more comfortable option if you happen to be
moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco. That way, you will be able to reach SF with ease,
and your dog will experience a less traumatizing experience.

Lagotto Romagnolo – truffles, anyone?
From Italy, with love comes this charming breed that gets under its owners’ skin very easily.
These dogs are suitable for sharing a life with you indoors and can also be one of your
company’s most valuable workers. If you are trading with truffles, that is. These dogs are one of
the best breeds to be trained to look for truffles, the very expensive fungus. Your Lagotto needs
daily stimulation, both in mental and physical terms. But once he creates a bond with his new
family members, he really can’t stand being without them.
Xoloitzcuintli – no hair, don’t care
In case you are tired of dog hair around your house, this difficult-to-pronounce breed is the one
for you. This breed is mostly hairless. The Xolo originates from Mexico and Central America,
where people who have arthritis and other similar illnesses like to use this dog’s body heat to
alleviate their pain. As for their health, if you make sure your Xolo gets the right nutrition, he
can be highly durable. Apart from all that, this endearing hairless creature is an avid watchdog.
So, basically, with Xoloitzcuintli, you get a protector you can safely cuddle with and not get an
allergic reaction.
Conclusion
Being a dog owner is not restricted only to people without allergies, as it was in the days of our
great-grandmothers. Today we are familiar with hypoallergenic dog breeds that are wonderful
companions and can even be useful. All you need to do is find the one that is most in tune with
your lifestyle and let it make your life unimaginably better.
