The real trigger of allergic reactions in humans is proteins found in a dog’s saliva, skin flakes, and urine. When these allergens become airborne or settle on your furniture, clothing, and bedding, they are almost impossible for people to avoid, and allergic reactions become inevitable. Some breeds, like German Shepherds, are prone to dry skin, which in turn means more dander. Bulldog owners should be aware that these gentle dogs are prone to producing excessive saliva, making a wet carpet, sofa, or other upholstery, a problem for people with allergies. Boston Terriers are prone to allergies themselves, and their increased mucus may then affect you, which may then affect your dog, and both of you are stuck in a devilish cycle of never-ending allergic reactions. German Shepherds, Bulldogs, and Boston Terriers are among the worst breeds for people with allergies.

The worst dog breeds for people with allergies include Basset Hound, Boston Terrier, Bulldog, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Pekingese, Pug, Saint Bernard, Siberian Husky. Many people believe that exposure to other dogs will trigger their allergy symptoms, while exposure to a hypoallergenic dog will not. However, objective scientific studies don’t support the idea that any dogs are hypoallergenic. A 2012 study measured dog allergens concentrations in samples taken from the hair and coats of so-called hypoallergenic and non-hypoallergenic dogs, and from their respective owners’ homes. The study found that the allergen levels were actually higher in hair and coat samples from the dogs that were supposedly hypoallergenic. Pet allergies are also quite common with people who have asthma or other allergies and they can be triggered by proteins in a dog’s saliva, urine or dander. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, as many as three in 10 people with allergies in this country have pet allergies.

The term “dog hair allergy” frequently pops up online and in conversations. Yet, in reality, when it comes to a dog allergy, it is not the hair but strictly the allergens produced by the dog that elicit a reaction. Primarily, the allergen Can f 1 is identified as the culprit. While many assume that long-haired dogs pose a particularly high allergy risk, scientists have proven otherwise. Present data suggest that dogs with short fur more commonly trigger allergies in people than long-haired breeds. Ultimately, all dogs produce allergens, no matter their fur length. Even hairless dogs release allergens through their skin and saliva. If you have a dog allergy, you could potentially react to any dog breed, even those labelled as “hypoallergenic”. Whether you’ll have an allergic reaction depends on many personal factors. A blanket statement on which dogs are or aren’t suitable for allergy sufferers is thus not straightforward.
