Small hypoallergenic dog breeds are a great option for people with allergies or those who live in small spaces. These breeds are known for having low to non-shedding coats and produce less dander, which is a common allergen for many people.
Here is a list of some popular small hypoallergenic breeds:
- Bichon Frise
- Maltese
- Poodle (Toy, Miniature, and Standard)
- Yorkshire Terrier
- Shih Tzu
- Boston Terrier
- West Highland White Terrier
- Lhasa Apso
- Havanese
- Scottish Terrier
It’s important to note that while these breeds are considered hypoallergenic, individual dogs can still cause an allergic reaction in some people. The best way to determine if you are allergic to a particular breed is to spend time with one before adopting.
