As much as 10% of the U.S. population is allergic to dogs! This is according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. That is a lot of people allergic to dogs. If you fall within the 10% who is allergic, don't fret! There still may be hope for you as a future dog owner.

As an allergy sufferer there are actually a few breeds that you may be OK with. The main problem is the dander which is attached to the pet hair. This is what causes most pet allergies in humans.

The good news is that dogs with non-shedding coats tend to produce less dander. While there are no 100% hypoallergenic dogs, your allergies may not be an issue with some of these non-shedding dogs. Among those desired breeds is the Goldendoodle. A fan favorite full of cuddles and curls.

Contrary to what many breeders will tell you when they are trying to sell their puppies, not all Goldendoodles are hypoallergenic. Goldendoodles are a mix of a golden retriever and poodle. A Goldendoodle is a mixed breed designer dog. Which means their coat can favor the golden retriever of the poodle.

This is one of the reasons that The Doodle Dynasty focuses on multi-generational breeding with emphasis on the poodle. This increases the likelihood of a non to little shedding coat. For families with allergy sufferers this can make the difference between a wonderful new lifelong best friend and missing out on one of God's biggest examples of unconditional love, the faithful dog.
