Non Shedding Hypoallergenic Large Dogs Make Amazing Pets

By Amy Perry


Pet ownership is one of those experiences that every individual should be given the opportunity to take part in. For many people who suffer with some form of allergy, this is a joy that has always seemed just out of reach. Luckily, there are several types of non shedding hypoallergenic large dogs that would make wonderful companions for them.

When a person is allergic to canines, it is not the actual dog that they are having a reaction to, but the dander that it produces when it sheds. When this factor is removed or reduced, these individuals can actually tolerate being around the pups without any issue. Most people are under the impression that only small breeds fit this category, but there are several larger ones as well.

Standard Poodles are very regal and among the more popular larger breed choices for individuals who suffer from allergies. They have a coat that is very much like thick hair, set in densely packed curls that rarely sheds but does require the attention of a professional groomer to remain controlled. Their loyalty and high intelligence are quite appealing.

The statuesque Airedale Terrier is another favorite breed choice for people with allergies who like their canines on the larger side. They have a very unique feature - a double coat consisting of soft, downy fur on the underside, and a coarse top layer that needs to be stripped by hand annually to remain clean. This type of dog is also incredibly disciplined and intelligent, serving as rodent hunters and police canines throughout history.

Far bigger than the miniatures but equally as wonderful, are the allergy friendly Giant Schnauzers. They have practically no dander production but to keep their fur looking neat and clean, it needs regular brushing, frequent trims, and to be hand stripped about once a month. An ample amount of exercise is a must for these animals who make wonderful guardians who are extremely protective of their human family.

The impressively sized Komondors are a type of sheepdog that bares a remarkable resemblance to the flock of animals they traditionally tend. They feature a coat of easy maintenance, coarse dreadlocks that require absolutely no brushing and only infrequent trims. The biggest grooming need is that their thick corded fur is completely white, which had to be washed often and go through a long drying cycle in order to stay clean.

Irish Water Spaniels are the largest of their genre and these amazingly loving, energetic, intelligent, and devoted animals are perfect for allergy households. As one may assume by their name, these animals are perfectly suited for life in the water with their waterproof coat and webbed feet that make them excellent swimmers. Although their thick curls do not shed, the dog will need to be brushed on a weekly basis and get trimmed often in order to avoid matting and unruliness.

Allergy sufferers have different breeds of larger canines from which they can make a selection. The variety is so vast that there is definitely something for everyone. They are all quite big and have that wonderful benefit of having the genetic advantage of having virtually no shed or dander producing factor, which is why they make perfect pets for people who thought their allergic reactions would stand in the way.
