Dreaming of having a dog, but every time you are near a pooch, your allergies flare up? We might have just the solution for you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

These common dog breeds don\u2019t shed and are therefore a good choice for people who suffer from allergies\u2026and they are absolutely adorable! <\/span>Take a look:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Maltese:<\/b>. Pet parents typically let this breed’s long, silky hair grow to the floor for competitions, but otherwise tend to keep the hair short and maintain it with daily brushing<\/span>. Personality: <\/b>While playful, the Maltese is a gentle and laid-back breed that doesn’t require a lot of exercise.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Poodle: <\/b>Poodles come in three sizes – toy, miniature and standard – which means that whether you prefer a large dog, a tiny dog or something in between, there’s a poodle to fit your preference. A poodle’s size has little bearing on their temperament and grooming needs, though the large standard poodle requires more exercise than smaller varieties. The coat of a poodle is very much like that of a bichon, though poodles come in a wider variety of colors.<\/span> Personality:<\/b> Intelligent, loving and playful, poodles make terrific family pets. Just make sure to supervise small children around the tiny toy poodle. Because of poodles low shedding-coats, they have also become a popular dog for breeding “designer breeds” like goldendoodles, labradoodles, and cockapoos. These designer breeds often share the best qualities between two different breeds like temperament and appearances, while maintaining a coat that sheds less.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Yorkshire terrier: <\/b>While Yorkies don’t shed, they do require daily brushing \u2014 which can be done in minutes while they curl up in your lap. <\/span>Personality: <\/b>An adorable toy breed with a big personality, the Yorkie is a loving lapdog with a spunky attitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
