Pet Allergies? 10 Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds Good With Kids

If anyone in your family suffers from pet allergies, you may feel that it is impossible to have a Dog of your own. While no Dog is 100% hypoallergenic, the good news is there are many breeds that shed very little or not at all and produce very little to no dander. These breeds are less likely to cause allergic reactions to allergy sufferers.

If you decide on a hypoallergenic Dog, it is still very important that you visit the dog before committing to bring him home with you. This is due to the fact that some non-shedding dogs can trigger an allergic reaction in some people that they may not cause in others.

Now if you have children, you will want to make sure that your chosen dog is good with kids. He should be playful and gentle, loving and loyal. You'll want a dog that will be a good companion for your kids, as well as the rest of the family.

The following are 10 Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds Good with Kids:

1. American Hairless Terrier


2. Basenji


3. Bedlington Terrier


4. Bergamasco


5. Havanese


6. Kerry Blue Terrier


7. Portuguese Water Dog


8. Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier


9. Standard Poodle


10. Wirehaired Fox Terrier

Since some dogs that are recognized as hypoallergenic may still shed just a little, there are a few things you can do to reduce allergy attacks:

Get a Hepa Air Filter. These filters reduce the spread of airborne pathogens such as pet fur, dander, and airborne pet odors.

Get a vacuum cleaner with a Hepa Filter. Make sure to frequently vacuum the areas where your dog spends the most time, preferably daily.

Clean your dog's bedding regularly. In between washes, sprinkle the bedding with baking soda or a dog deodorizer, leave it on for 15 minutes, then vacuum it up.

Use deshedding shampoo and dander reducing spray. You can find these at your local pet stores.

After you bring your dog home you will definitely want to dedicate the time and effort towards training him to make sure that he doesn't develop bad dog behaviors. I had more than my fair share of dog training issues with my Papillon during our first few years together. This was mainly because I didn't have a clue about how to properly train him.

I was about to reach my breaking point when I finally found a way to end my doggie misery. I was given easy to follow dog training instructions, and they really worked. You can learn more at iHeartDogsOnline.com.
