Anyone who thinks they have to do without a four-legged friend because of an allergy is wrong.
With these ten breeds you can fulfill your dream of a dog.
1 / 10The poodle is probably the most well-known allergy dog.
He very rarely sheds hair and is not affected by the shedding, which usually occurs twice a year.
The poodle has a very curly coat, which, however, also requires a lot of care.

2 / 10Many dog breeds change their coat in autumn or spring - but not with the Yorkshire Terrier.
Hair loss occurs in this dog breed only in the rarest of cases.

3 / 10Bichon Frize dogs have a soft, curly coat that catches all dust and dander.
This makes it the ideal companion for people with allergies.
In addition, the breed does not shed.

4 / 10The Portuguese water dog hardly sheds.
His loose hair gets caught in his curls.
Due to this coat texture, it is often recommended as an allergy-prone dog.
However, it is advisable to check before purchasing whether you are allergic to this breed of dog.

5 / 10The Basenji resembles a cat: it is very clean and grooms itself every day. The short coat of this dog breed hardly sheds any hair, which is why they are excellent allergy dogs.

6 / 10Long, lush coat is the hallmark of the Afghan Hound.
But despite the lush fur, this breed of dog is not prone to hair loss.
However, proper care is required.

7 / 10The Labradoodle is a hybrid dog and is a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle.
The aim of this breeding was to breed a family dog that is suitable for allergy sufferers.
The coat is therefore very easy to care for and the dogs hardly shed.

8 / 10Because the Schnauzer hardly sheds hair when cared for properly, it is also particularly suitable for allergy sufferers.
The coat of these dogs consists of dense and hard top coat and soft undercoat.
The undercoat should be brushed regularly to remove dead hair.

9 / 10The Havanese is an extremely happy, family-friendly and trusting dog.
The small dog breed has no undercoat and therefore does not change its coat.
Therefore it is suitable for allergy sufferers.
However, grooming is time-consuming as the fur has to be brushed and trimmed regularly.

10/10The Maltese is very similar to the Havanese.
He also does not come into the change of coat because of the lack of undercoat.
The dog breed is very friendly, calm and cuddly.

You love dogs more than anything, but whenever you are near one, do they get a runny nose, sneeze, or get itchy all over?
These are all signs of a dog dander allergy, which is often a heavy burden for anyone who wants nothing more than a dog of their own.
But the good thing is: If you suffer from an allergy, you don't necessarily have to do without your own four-legged friend.
Because many breeds are even very suitable for allergy sufferers.
In the photo series we present ten dog breeds that are well suited for people with dog hair allergies.
