Because poodles are considered a non-shedding breed, they are a good choice for owners with allergies.

Non-shedding breeds are an ideal choice if you or a family member struggle with allergies.

Although no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, there are non-shedding dogs that produce less dander, which is the true culprit in causing pet allergies for humans.

Popular non-shedding breeds include:

  • Cairn Terrier
  • Airedale Terrier
  • Dachshund
  • Boston Terrier
  • Chihuahua
  • Maltese
  • Yorkshire Terrier
  • Chinese Crested
  • Bichon Frise
  • Poodle
