Chihuahuas are Hypoallergenic Dogs
Just because you have allergies or asthma does not mean you cannot experience the companionship of a dog. Dog breeds that are considered hypoallergenic secrete fewer allergens than most dogs. They are not allergen-free, but can be tolerated by most allergy sufferers. Join Obama and consider providing a home to a hypoallergenic dog breed.
Instructions
1. Consider a hairless or almost-hairless breed. No hair means no irritating dander. Examples are the American Hairless Terrier and the Chinese Crested.
2. Choose a breed that has hair that grows in length. These would be dogs that need haircuts occasionally. When the hair grows, it sheds less and pulls irritating chemicals from the dog's skin. Poodles and small terriers are good choices.
3. Look into dogs with hair that is the same pH as human hair. Examples are Bearded Collies and Yorkshire Terriers.
4. Get a Chihuahua. Allergy and asthma suffers do the best overall with this hypoallergenic dog breed.
