Hypoallergenic dog breeds are dogs that tend to shed less and produce fewer airborne allergens, making them easier to live with for many people who have allergies. While no dog is completely allergy-free, these breeds usually have coat types that trap dander rather than spreading it through the home. Individual reactions still vary, so spending time with a breed before committing is important. Hypoallergenic dog breeds are popular with allergy-sensitive owners who are prepared for regular grooming and coat maintenance.
