Best hypoallergenic and non-shedding dogs

Read this paper if you can’t live without a furry lovely companion nor with one due to your pet allergy.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as “hypoallergenic pets”. Most people think the only thing that causes allergic reaction to pets is their fur, but you should know that the substance causing sneezing, coughing, itching and wheezing while encountering to pets is not the fur, but some special natural proteins contained in any warm-blooded animal’s fur, urine, dander and saliva. If your immune system is sensitive it responds abnormally to these proteins by releasing so much histamine. The shedding just helps the dander spread around the house thus it’s not the real problem here. Although knowing less-shedding or non-shedding breeds can help you choose your pet more wisely and enjoy your company.
