Are Yorkies considered hypoallergenic?
Question by : Are Yorkies considered hypoallergenic?
I’ve heard that they are, but I also know that poodles and maltese are hypoallergenic too. When my friend got a maltese poo I wasn’t allergic to him at first, but when I visited on Sunday I started getting hives. Mabey it’s the food that the puppy eats? I’m not sure, but I don’t want to be allergic to my Yorkie so is there a shampoo or something that can lower the allergy levels, if I am allergic to Yorkies?

Answer by Jennifer M~ Got the Giggles
Your allergist should be able to tell you if it is dander or saliva from dogs you are allergic to.
No dog is truly hypoallergenic. My friend has a poodle that hardly sets off her allergies at all, yet that dogs littermate brother makes her sneeze like mad. It all depends upon the individual dog and you.
You may be allergic to your yorkie, you may not. We can’t tell you as all allergies are different.
Quality food can make a dog shed less, so technically it could make a difference.
Yorkies don’t have a thick undercoat like many breeds so hey can affect allergies less. Keep him well groomed for your best chances of not reacting. Washing too often can actually be bad for his coat.

Are Siberian Huskies hypoallergenic to any degree?
Question by dancemom: Are Siberian Huskies hypoallergenic to any degree?
My husband and I are considering getting a siberian husky puppy to add to our family. I have done a lot of research on the needs/demands of such a dog, but can’t seem to find too much info on how they are for people with allergies. My husband has allergies and so this is what is holding us back. I have read conflicting arguments on both ends as far as whether they are/are not. I DO realize that no dog is completely hypoallergenic and that huskies are HEAVY shedders…and that the allergies people have to them lie in pet’s dander not necessarily in the hair, so please no snide comments about these things. I am asking for those who have experience with huskies to give me some feedback on whether or not these dogs are good for those with allergies. Or if there is anyone out there who has allergies and also owns a husky to tell me how that has worked out for them. I appreciate your comments and help!

They’re a double-coated breed, that blows their coat in huge clumps (with dead skin cells attached) twice yearly and loses coat year-round.
So the answer? No. Not hypoallergenic to *any* degree.

a thought about hypoallergenic cats?
Question by stripedbook: a thought about hypoallergenic cats?
I just thought of this…what happens to all the kittens these companies breed who aren’t “perfect specimens”? Are they flushed down the toilet? Seriously, what happens? This is just like a puppy mill! Sure youre getting a cute sweet little animal, but if you REALLY care about animals, why would you put your money into something that perpetuated the suffering of their species?
I wonder if they keep that cats in small cages and pump them with hormones and test each little kitten that comes out of it’s mothers belly, to see if it’s “hypoallergenic” and if not…down the toilet it goes? Or what? Maybe they give the kittens that don’t “make the grade” to the local humane society to further add to the proliferation of cats on the market now?
Does anyone know? Has anyone wondered?
I just think it would be better (for the animals) if these organizations concentrated their scientific efforts into developing a vaccine for humans with allergies to cats.
there are moral and ethical objections to breeding – and destroying – hundreds of undesirable and unwanted allergen-bearing kittens (in a world where hundreds, if not thousands, are already destroyed daily) while trying to perfect an allergen-free strain. It is classed by many cat lovers as animal research because of the risk to the cats.

Unless you work for the company that breeds the cats, you will probably never find out what happens to the kittens that dont make the cut. Im sure its quite hush-hush.
I seem to remember I checked out a link once to a company that makes these cats out of curiousity.. it was somewhere around $ 30,000 for one of these cats! I dont know anyone who wants a cat THAT badly.

Answer by KoAussie
From Wikipedia:
“A Hypoallergenic dog breed is a dog breed (or crossbreed) that is alleged to be safer for allergic persons than other breeds, although a New York Times article finds that allergists believe that “all the safe-breed theories are just wishful thinking”.[1] Allergists do recognize that at times a particular allergy patient will be able to tolerate a particular dog, but they agree that “the luck of the few with their pets cannot be stretched to fit all allergic people and entire breeds of dogs.”[1]”

Q&A: Are Jackapoos hypoallergenic?
Question by srg_110: Are Jackapoos hypoallergenic?
We are getting a puppy jack russell terrier cockapoo (cocker spaniel/poodle) mix.. does anyone own a similar mix and know if this dog will be hypoallergenic?
by ‘hypoallergenic’ im reffering to if they will set off allergies.
i know there are no “hypoallergenic” dogs, I figured people would have enough sense to understand what i meant by the term. Poodles are Hair dogs, cockers and russells are fur dogs. I was seeing if anyone WITH a similar mix would share what they know. and im not getting it from a breeder that would be ridiculous, this was simply an accident and where a dog got out and found a friend. The owner doesnt know what to do with the two puppies that came from it. If the arent adopted they may very well end up in a shelter. Does anyone have any suggestions that arent just common sense??

Answer by Toy Fox Terrier
They are not, except in rare cases.
