Dog Breeds for Allergy sufferers

I have heard this several times from parents when it comes to buying a dog. "My children has asthma" or another one would be "my nose is sensitive and the dog fur will cause sinus." After hearing this, I have decided to list down a few common breeds in Singapore, that are also recommended for people that are suffering from allergies. However, please take note that because a breed is on this list which I am going to list out, does NOT mean that it may not still bother your allergies or asthma.

1. Bichon Frise - they are a no shed dog


2. Chinese Crested - this dog also does not shed


3. Maltese - this is a non shedding breed but it does require frequent grooming


4. Poodle - this is a non shedding breed but it does require ALOT of grooming


5. Schnauzer - this is a low shedding dog and but also requires frequent grooming

There are a few more other breeds but are not common in Singapore

Note: It is the dogs' undercoat that produces the shedding hair and dander Please remember that non shedding breeds require grooming as it is the brushing out and clipping of the coat that removes or effectively sheds the undercoat and rids the dog of dander. It is usually the dander the dog produces and not the hair that causes allergic reactions to dogs.

Hope this information is clear enough about people havig allergic reactions or asthma to dogs! Cheers!
