Miniature, Toy & Teacup Schnauzers do not shed. They are considered to be hypoallergenic, making them an excellent choice for people with allergies.
About 10% of the population is allergic to animals, but is there a breed that does not trigger an allergic reaction to occur? Honestly, there no such a thing as an actual hypoallergenic dog.
What triggers allergy flare-ups are: dander (flakes of the dog's skin), saliva and urine.
And no matter what you do, EVERY dog produces these. To find the right dog breed, an allergy sufferer should consider a kind that has the least amount of dander and does not shed, slobber or drool a great deal.
Every person will have their own allergic severity to particular dogs, their saliva and dander they produce. Schnauzers, don’t shed a lot plus they get groomed frequently. This frequent grooming washes away some of the loose dander allergens from their skin, they also do not drool and slobber a lot. This is why this breed is considered to be hypoallergenic, and therefore would be a much better choice for allergy sufferers than other dog breeds.
Miniature Schnauzers are on the top 10 best dog breeds list for allergy sufferers.
Luckily, Schnauzers are less likely to cause an allergy reaction. So there is no reason why allergy sufferers have to live a life without a loving companion as a friend.
