No breed is 100% hypoallergenic: the main allergen (Can f 1) is present in the saliva and dander of all dogs. But the breeds below, with curly or continuously growing coat, release significantly less into the environment. Before adopting, spend several hours with the breed of interest — reactions vary greatly from person to person.
