Собаки  Лучший ответ

Since your Вопрос was if any breeds of Собаки were truly hypo-allergenic, the answer is no (at least as far as science is concerned). It's not an easy Вопрос to answer since there's no governing body over the term hypo-allergenic. The term is used as a marketing tool to convince people that there is a reduced tendency for people to have allergic reactions (like for some cosmetics или pillows or, in this case, dogs).

The idea that some breeds of Собаки are hypoallergenic has been mostly a marketing ploy by breeders of certain Собаки (usually those that do not shed as much или have мех with similar properties to human hair) to bolster sales which has been picked up by the media and general public and spread as fact over the last couple decades (creating a brand new industry of designer hypo-allergenic Собаки and bolstering the sales of breeds that had been declining like poodles).

Most people who are allergic to Собаки are allergic to the saliva and dander (skin flakes). Even a totally hairless dog produces dander (and obviously saliva). It's believed that a dog that doesn't shed as much (like a poodle) will have less airborne dander (the theory being that since the dander can cling to the мех and if the мех stays on the body then it won't be in the air) and so produce fewer allergens, but studies have not shown people to be less allergic to poodles than to other breeds.

There is also a much promoted myth concerning Собаки with hair vs. Собаки with fur. This is another marketing ploy - all мех is comprised of hair (of course) and although the aspects and properties of the hair can differ (some a еще similar to human hair), the allergens are not affected.

If you're allergic to dogs, then Ты should either stay away from them entirely или find a dog that Ты don't seem to react to. (This link seems to suggest that it is possible for some individuals to find a particular dog (not of any specific breed, but just a lucky dog) that they do not react to.) Otherwise, bathe your dog frequently (once a week) and keep them outdoors to minimize allergen build up indoors.

Poodles don't shed, so they aren't as big of a problem and generally, long haired Собаки are worse... Does that help?

Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, and Lhasa Apsos are because they all have hair not fur.

I am allergic to most dogs. So we got two hypoallergenic dogs. They are the sweetest, most delightful additions to the family and everyday I Любовь them еще and еще <3. We have two тцу, ши-тцу pups! They're amazing, friendly and docile creatures. We've had them for 5 years and I've had no problems whatsoever with my allergies XD
