11 Best Dog Breeds For Allergy Sufferers

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, approximately 10% of the American population is allergic to dogs. While some may only suffer from itchy eyes, others have more serious issues like constricted breathing. In either case, dog ownership wouldn't be recommended. However, while there is no dog that is 100% hypoallergenic, there are some breeds that have non-shedding coats that produce less dander - the main cause of human pet allergies. 

The following variety of dogs have proven to be best for allergy sufferers, although that does not mean they will have no affect at all. 

1. Bedlington Terrier
  2. Bichon Frise 3. Chinese Crested
  4. Irish Water Spaniel

  6. Maltese
 
7. Poodle (Standard, Mini, Toy) 8.  Portuguese Water Dog
