Hypoallergenic Dogs: Are There Really Hypoallergenic Dogs?
Recent news about hypoallergenic dogs indicate that there are really hypoallergenic dogs that people who are allergic to dogs can get as pets. Why are people allergic to dogs and why are there some breeds of hypoallergenic dogs? The answer? Nobody really knows. Until now allergic reactions cannot be explained by science. This makes individuals different from each other.
Hypoallergenic dogs are just some of the non-allergenic breeds that create very few allergic reactions. Some of these hypoallergenic dogs could be the following breeds:
Airedale terrier. The Airedale Terrier (often shortened to “Airedale”) is a terrier dog breed originating from Airedale in Yorkshire, England. It traditionally was called the “King of Terriers” because until the advent of the Black Russian Terrier the ADT was largest of the terrier breeds, 40 to 50 pounds. The breed has also been called the Waterside Terrier, because it was bred originally to hunt otters in and around the valleys of the River Aire from whence it gets its name. In England this breed was used as a police dog to help find criminals. As pets these dogs can be very entertaining. They can definitely be difficult to train. They are fun-loving animals. Socializing (contact with other dogs) during the first months of age is especially important in this breed.
Australian Shepherd. The Australian Shepherd is a breed of herding dog that was developed on ranches in the Western United States. Despite its name, the breed, commonly known as an Aussie, did not in fact originate in Australia. They acquired their name because of its association with sheepherders who came to the United States from Australia.
Australian Shepherds rose rapidly in popularity with the boom of western riding after World War II. They became known to the general public through rodeos, horse shows and through Disney movies made for television.
For decades, Aussies have been valued by stockmen for their inherent versatility and trainability. While they continue to work as stockdogs and compete in herding trials, the breed has earned recognition in other roles due to their trainability and eagerness to please and are highly regarded for their skills in obedience. Like all working breeds, the Aussie has considerable energy and drive and usually needs a job to do. It often excels at dog sports such as dog agility, flyball and frisbee. They are also highly successful search and rescue dogs, disaster dogs, detection dogs, guide, service and therapy dogs. And, above all, they are beloved family companions. Aussies are very protective and may not be kind to strangers, but do not have a tendency to be aggressive. Aussies will also try to herd anything that moves, including people and all other types of animals.
I will update the list of hypoallergenic dogs in the future to serve as part of my human interest stories in this site under the category “HUMAN INTERESTS” or tagged as Human Interest Stories. You could also try reading stories like What Weapon is Synonymous With Samurai Warriors.
