Hypoallergenic Dogs

You often hear people with allergy problems are looking for a hypoallergenic dog. There is really no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. Some allergies are caused by the dog's fur, but most allergies are caused by a protein that is found in a dog's saliva. This protein in a dog's saliva sticks to the dried flakes of skin called dander. All dog's shed this dander, it doesn't matter what type of coat a dog has, they shed.
