Have you been looking for hypo-allergenic (Allergy Free) Dog Breeds? Well don't get your dander up, because there are dog breeds of all sizes for dog lovers with allergies! Dog lovers with allergies are always looking for that special breed of dog that will not cause an allergic reaction. Unfortunately, there are NO completely non-allergic dogs. All dogs can cause an allergic reaction; it has little to do with how much hair they have and more to do with their diet and how often they are groomed. However, there are some breeds (in general, the female of the breed is better), which are hypoallergenic - breeds that are hairless, breeds that naturally don’t shed hair, and breeds that shed very little hair. But, since cats are responsible for about two-thirds of allergens, your chances are better with a dog.The Connection between Dander and Allergies:
Allergies are not a direct result of too much hair, and even dogs with fur like human hair can cause allergies. The sebaceous glands are the culprit. Dogs, like other animals and humans, secrete an oily lubricant (sebum) through their sebaceous glands, which keeps their skin supple and their coat (hair) shiny. The allergen in the secretion causes the allergic reaction and is present in dog’s saliva and dander. As a dog ages and the skin dries, more sebum is produced and the scaly bits of dried skin are released, resulting in dander (or dandruff in humans). It’s important to be careful when buying a puppy because you might not have an immediate allergic reaction. Puppy’s skin is supple and sebum isn’t released so they have no dander, but, you might eventually get an allergic reaction as the puppy ages and dander forms.Hypo-Allergenic Dog Breeds By Size

Cost for the Referenced Breeds: It is difficult to find a price range for any of the above dog breeds without going to each breeder’s site and requesting information, but, suffice it to say that pure-bred and designer dogs will cost you several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the breed.

Small Dog Facts
Small dogs fit well into smaller spaces. A great choice for apartment living. Small dogs tend to be more hypo-allergenic than larger breeds. This is a mathematical certainty - there is less dog per square inch - thus less area on which dust and pollen can settle. Small dogs tend to live longer than larger breeds. A small breed puppy, acquired from a reputable breeder and properly cared for will generally live between 12 and 16 years.Small Dogs A to Z
