Hypoallergenic Dogs

Did you know that there is really no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog? Sometimes allergies are caused by a dog's fur; usually the real source of the dog allergy comes from a protein found in the dog's saliva. We all know dogs lick themselves and this protein in the saliva sticks to the dried flakes of skin called dander. All dogs have dander, so a hypoallergenic dog is really just a myth.
