hypoallergenic dog myth or fact?
by Lea Barnett
1. people may pay up to 1500 to 3000 for a labradoodle that is said to be hypoallergenic but its false
1.1. the labradoodle is a cross breed between a lab and poodle, the nature of a lab and sometimes the hair of the poodle. The labradoodle may shed less to make someone with allergies less likely to react but the dog is not actually completely unlikely to cause reaction
1.2. their is a better chance of a short haired dog causing less reaction then a long haired dog
1.2.1. f1 B and f2 B labradoodles have long wavy curly fur, but are said to be hypoallergenic.
2. their is in actual 100 percent hypoallergenic dog it is a myth
2.1. poodles, shih tzu, and maltese have a lower chance of shedding but are not fully hypoallergenic
3. frequent bath and grooming appointments can prevent the amount of allergic reaction
3.1. frequent carpet shampoo is also good for your home
4. shampooing is great for your dog so the dried skin flakes don't go around the house
