Often people refuse to start a dog only because the hair of a four-legged friend smells unpleasant and during moult remains on furniture and clothing, creating certain difficulties in cleaning the room. It looks such a wool is not at all aesthetically pleasing, and people, prone to allergies, can cause complications.
Any problem has a solution. If you can not influence the natural process of molting, then you need to consider the possibility of starting a pet, taking into account the information, which breeds of dogs do not shed.
What does molting depend on?
Moulting is the natural process of renewing the coat. It can be of several types:
- Seasonal. Occurs in autumn and spring. During the lowering of the air temperature, the fur coat (undercoat) becomes thick and warm to keep the animal warm during the cold season. In the spring, when the air temperature rises, the fur cover becomes easier due to a change in the structure of the wool.
- Age. Occurs during the change of puppy coat to the coat of an adult animal.
- Biological. When the canine mother stops feeding her babies with milk, she also experiences an intense loss of hair.
- Stimulated by: animal disease, medications, unbalanced diet, lack of vitamins. In particular, the lack of vitamins such as B2, B3 can lead to hair loss.
From the same follicle, hair shafts appear, replacing each other after dying off during molting. As a result, the total amount of hair does not change, in spite of molting. But in some breeds the hair lives very long, without changing each other. It is this wool that hasdogs that do not molt.
A great influence on the intensity of molting is also the type of wool. In dogs, it consists of fleece hairs that can be long or short, and an undercoat formed of soft short hairs. It is the undercoat that provides the heat balance of the animal and is replaced during the seasonal molt.
Different types of dogs are dominated by this or that type of hair. For example, the Yorkshire Terrier has no undercoat, and the Mexican bare dog has osteal hair.
Naked Breeds
The so-called bare (bald) dogs - this is the first group that includes breeds of dogs that do not molt. These include:
- chinese Crested: without wool and feather;
- peruvian bald: small - up to 8 kg with growth up to 40 cm; average - up to 12 kg with growth up to 50 cm large - up to 23 kg with growth up to 60 cm;
- mexican naked, or ksolotitskintli: without wool and with a wool cover;
- american naked terrier.
The history of the appearance of naked dogs is covered with a halo of mystery. Comparing legends and myths about dogs without wool, we can conclude that the ancestors of bald dogs existed in countries with a hot tropical climate on all continents, excluding Australia. Until now, it has not been established reliably, whether the dogs moved from continent to continent during migration, whether they simply contained related signs, or were formed as a result of similar mutations.
The constant influence of hot climate led to hair loss (in some species they are retained only on the fingers, tail tip or head in the form of separate bristles), uniform distribution of sweat glands throughout the body of the animal.
The bare body, on which the coat is partially or completely absent, gives the appearance originality and charm and is the answer to the question,
An important bonus for apartment maintenance is the small size and absence of troubles associated with moulting: you do not need to cut, comb, collect wool, scattered around the apartment.
However, care for this category of dogs has some features:
- weekly bathing;
- careful skin treatment;
- application of sunscreens to prevent burns during summer walks;
- use of clothing in winter when going out.
A house lover should be put in a warm lounger, otherwise he will constantly strive to jump into a warm master's bed.
Chinese Crested - a typical representative of bare dogs
Since ancient times, the breed has symbolized the financial well-being, status and honorable place of the owner in society. Houses of nobles and palaces most often became the place of the maintenance of these benevolent energetic babies.
Chinese Crested - this dogs that do not shed.Wherein psychological picture Khokhlatki, compiled from the owners of this amazing breed, is very attractive:
- activity and mobility;
- complete absence of aggression and anger;
- inexhaustible curiosity;
- cheerful and cheerful disposition;
- devotion to family members;
- sociability;
- benevolence towards other animals;
- fearlessness;
- high intelligence;
- easy learner and artistry.
Rough handling of criminals can not stand, with frequent quarrels and scandals in the family suffer.
The graceful Chinese crested can be with a wool or completely naked. In the second case, the wool forms only a pappus on the head, partially covers the tail and the lower part of the legs. The skin is smooth, soft and warm. With proper care, the smell is completely absent.
Downy variety has a long hair, flowing soft veil. Wool is required to be combed or cut once a month, so that no collars develop, since the dog is not prone to molting.
The Chinese crib, like a real aristocrat, loves cosmetic procedures, strives to be at the center of everyone's admiration, adores dressing. Stylish outfits give it an additional look, and innate flirtatiousness creates a special charm.
It is believed that the Chinese crested "bald" protect luck and happiness in the house, become guardian angels of family members.
Breeds with long hair
FROM apaches that do not molt and do not emit an unpleasant smell of the dog, are represented by the following breeds of the longhaired species:
- thorshire Terrier;
- irish soft-coated wheaten terrier;
- bichon-frize;
- maltese.
Due to the fact that the long coat of these dogs does not fall out during the seasonal moult, but continues to grow, special care is needed for it. Systematic combing will not only prevent the formation of coils, but also turn the pet into a thick cloud of long silky wool. Such dogs invariably evoke delight among those around them, and in the apartment they do not create problems due to falling hair.
Irish soft-coated wheaten terrier - non-slip dog with long hair
A friendly intellectual, obedient pet friend, loyal friend, a dog with excellent health - this is the general characteristic of this variety of Irish terrier.
His coat invariably evokes delight among those around him.Colors of ripe wheat, soft to the touch, it falls a thick silky wave. However, seasonal molting in the soft-toothed terrier is almost not expressed due to the lack of undercoat. itdogs that do not molt: зthe cold and summer heat does not affect the length and structure of the coat.
By the age of two, the wheaten terrier has its final golden look. Puppies are often gray or red, their hair is straight. Only in the process of growing, there is a special waviness of the single-layered wool cover, which has the same length on all parts of the body, covering the dog with a solid gold cascade from head to foot.
Combing after bathing prevents the appearance of coils, gives the dog a special charm.
Breeds with short hair and short undercoat or without it
they also join the group of owners of short wool, consisting of rigid coarse hair. Undercoat is very short or completely absent. As a result, the woolly dogs practically do not leave hair on the sofa, clothes and carpets and do not smell.
:
- the Brussels griffin;
- west Highland white terrier ;
- fox terrier, coarse;
- scotch terrier;
- core-terrier;
- erdelterrier;
- staffordshire Bull Terrier;
- mittelschnauzer;
- risen schnauzer.
Due to the fact that undercoat is not subject to seasonal cleaning, wool must be plucked (trimmed). This procedure allows you to turn the Brussels griffin, terrier or schnauzer into an elegant handsome man. With proper care, thick, smooth and stiff wool protects the dog in all weather conditions. The pet does not get wet under the pouring rain, dries quickly, is not overcooled in winter and does not overheat in the heat.
Coated Brussels Griffin
Answering the question,, you can not fail to pay attention to the Brussels griffin. Its wthe hair is hypoallergenic, which makes the friendly guard especially popular with families with children.
Owners of griffins speak about the breed with respect. Character cheerful and devoted, behavior obedient, appearance curious - so you can characterize the Brussels griffin. Strongly developed self-esteem. Training easily suits. With children he gets on well. By his benevolent but sure behavior inspires respect for other animals.
The griffin's wool does not shed, so it needs trimming. A simple haircut will not give the desired effect, as it does not allow you to remove the old thinned hair, which again grow. The coat becomes dull and unsightly. To avoid this, dying hair shafts need to be plucked. This procedure is repeated 2 to 4 times during the year. This creates certain difficulties in the care of the pet, but completely pays for the cleanliness in the apartment and the well-groomed, neat look of a pet.
Poodle: royal, dwarfish, that
This breed stands apart from other groups due to certain features. Poodle has both long hair and undercoat, which in dogs is usually the main source of odor. But about poodles, you can safely say that these are dogs that do not shed and do not smell.
Poodle wool has a special composition, things related to it, has a curative effect on the joints, look elegant and festive.
The breed is unique in that moulting in a poodle happens only once in a lifetime, when at the age of 8 months puppy wool gradually changes into an adult. Subsequently, dying hair does not fall out, but is retained in dense curls of wool, gradually creating a felt cover. To prevent this from happening, the poodle must be combed at least 2 times a week. The procedure is performed with a comb with sparse large teeth, and then continues with a massage brush.
The sebaceous glands on the skin of the poodle almost do not work, so the wool is protected from fat and does not smell.
Basenji: cleanliness, neatness, lack of smell
In a special group can be taken and a breed such as Basenji. It can not be fully argued that this is dogs that do not molt. Their hypoallergenic hair is prone to seasonal molting, but to a small extent. Care for the dog is facilitated by the fact that the Basenji lick their wool, like cats.
They also have one more unique feature - the inability to bark. Instead of the usual barking, only a low howl is combined with a snort.
Prompt and active Basenji are natives of Central Africa. They have a cat's grace, an independent and wayward nature. Like long walks and outdoor games. Capable of developing incredible speed, carried away by the pursuit of any smell. This is not surprising, since the main purpose of the breed is to help the hunter.
Nyam-nyam-terrier, African non-moving dog, a forest dog from the Congo, a creature from the thickets and a dog zande - this is the name of the elegant and unusually mobile Basenji, who knows how to climb trees and wash his paw like a cat.
For all its activity and mobility, the basenji are surprisingly clean, tidy, almost do not smell. Smooth wool needs only periodic brushing with a special brush.
Today, there are dogs in almost every family. A huge variety of breeds allows you to choose a pet of any kind and character. However, what if some member of the family suffers from an allergy, but dreams of a four-footed friend? Do not be in a hurry to give up your desires. Hypoallergenic breeds of dogs will help resolve conflicts of interest.
How to choose a safe dog for allergies
You can find a suitable pet for yourself - even for allergy sufferers there are safe breeds
The first thing to consider - dogs that do not cause allergies, does not yet exist. These are natural, natural reactions that can not be overcome. Hypoallergenic breeds are those kinds of dogs that less often cause the immune reaction of an organism to a particular stimulus. The reason for this is the weak loss of hair. It can also be a less intense production of secretory gland fluids that produce an odor that is dangerous to a person with allergies.
Important! According to medical observations, even hypoallergenic dogs can provoke a negative reaction of a person, since this depends on the individual characteristics of the organism. But such cases are extremely rare.
The main factors of choice
When choosing a dog for an allergy sufferer, one must take into account its physiological characteristics - the intensity of molting, salivation, and so on
For those who suffer from allergies, but intend to have a four-legged friend, the following aspects must be taken into account:
- The less an animal shakes, the better for a person. The view that it is more difficult for allergic people to get along with a long-haired dog is mistaken. Value is not the length, but the number of fallen hairs. And since shorthair breeds moult practically all year round, they carry a great danger.
- Try to choose a small room dog, since size matters. The principle is based on the same - from medium-sized pets there will be less wool. Look at photos of dogs of different breeds, ask about the size of the breeders.
- The number of allergens is affected by dog barking. Scientists have noticed that quiet pets are less likely to cause allergies than violent ones. This is explained by the fact that more lactiferous saliva is released, which is the source of allergens.

How to reduce the risk of allergy
Observance of simple rules of care of a dog will allow to minimize risk of occurrence of an allergy
Choosing a safe breed of dog - this is just one of the factors to minimize the risk of allergies in humans. In addition to this, you must follow certain rules of living with the pet:
- First of all, the dog needs regular care. This is a prerequisite. The amount of dangerous protein in the saliva and on the skin can be significantly reduced if you frequently wash and cut your pet.
- Do not neglect combing the wool. This will allow you and the dog to feel comfortable.
- Conduct wet cleaning in the home as often as possible. Remove all surfaces, especially the "collectors" of allergens and dust - carpets, drapes, etc.
- Isolate your bed from the dog. Communicate with the pet, enjoy the games and caring for it, but do not let it into your bedroom.
- To reduce the concentration of irritants in the air will help household cleaners. A regular airing of the room is suitable.
Important! It is advisable that the pet is not looked after by the allergic himself, but by any other member of the family.
Thus, to start a four-legged friend can each of us, even those who are allergic. There are a variety of dog breeds that practically do not cause a negative reaction of the body. All of them differ in appearance, nature and way of leaving, but choosing a pet is not so difficult. Good luck to you!
It often happens that a person who dreams of a dog all his life can not get it for one simple reason - the animal causes such bouts of allergy that it is impossible to communicate with a four-legged friend. Of course, the allergy to dogs is of varying degrees. And in the case of a serious illness, experiments with one's own health can end badly. However, in most cases, you can reduce the risk of allergy or even completely avoid this danger by simply selecting the right breed.
In fact, of course, there are no ideal and absolutely hypoallergenic rocks. It's about the fact that some breeds are more suitable for people suffering from allergies due to their peculiarities. In this case we are talking about healthy animals. If the animal has a cutaneous or other disease, it may well cause an allergy, even if it refers to a "hypoallergenic" breed. The main sources of allergy are proteins that are found in saliva and skin secretions of animal dander (dandruff, peeling). Therefore, the allergic reaction of people can be different for different breeds of dogs.
Also, dogs that do not shed or moult are more preferable for allergic people, no particles of saliva, no dandruff, do not enter the environment, but settle on the animal's fur. The lack of hair in the animal (as, for example, in Chinese crested) is not a guarantee of complete hypoallergenicity, because the allergy basically arises, as we have already understood, on proteins. "Even if you get a bald dog, it will still produce allergens," says Dr. Vanda Fipatanakul, a member of the Allergy Committee of the American Academy of Allergy, asthma and Immunology.
Misconception about allergies to dogs
In the people there is an opinion that the allergy arises on the coat of dogs, and, therefore, than the dog "hairy", the more it is allergic. As a rule, people with such persuasion try to choose smooth-haired / short-haired breeds of dogs (dachshunds, dobermans, pinschers, amstaffs, etc.), believing that once the wool is small, then this dog is not enough and it is not allergic to it exactly . And with horror they find out after a while that their house is full of "fine needles" of wool, which are showered off the dog. Indeed, short-haired breeds rotate year-round and daily. Every day from them the dead hair is showered, that, you see, not the best variant for allergik. In order to avoid this daily molt, the dog must be combed daily with a special brush.
While some very longhaired breeds (Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, Komondors) do not shed at all. Wool from dogs of these breeds does not crumble, and the dead hair is separated only during combing.
Otherwise, they fall into the coils (or dreadlocks, as in the Komondor). The second best option is the wire-haired breeds (all kinds of schnauzers, coarse-wool terriers), because their dead hair is separated during trimming (plucking). If the dog is regularly trimmed (at least 4 times a year), then there will be no problems with the wool around the house either. And, of course, all kinds of poodles are an excellent example of dogs with wool "without moult".
Only the mouth watering
As we have already understood, the second dangerous allergen is the dog's saliva. Here, it would seem simple. It is enough to exclude from the list of potential pets dogs with flecks and increased salivation. As a rule, these are molosses (Phil, Mastino Napolitano, Bordeaux danes, etc.). But the saliva enters the environment not only by draining from the dog's fleas, but also during barking. Therefore, the silent English bulldog can be less allergenic than the rampant German shepherd dog.
Excessive "loquacity"
Excessive "talking" a pet raises the level of allergens, tk. saliva and dandruff, and strive to scatter in all directions with uncontrolled barking. Therefore, some breeds, especially small ones, can not be recommended for people suffering from allergies, precisely because of the constant wailing. Preferably a small dog with a balanced temperament. When choosing a breed, take a walk to the nearest dog show and observe which rings stand deadly silence, and where you have to literally plug your ears with your hands.
Size matters
Size - another important factor in choosing a dog for an allergy sufferer. It is logical that the smaller the surface of the dog's body, the fewer allergens it produces. In addition, a small dog is easier to wash, incl. after a walk, after talking with relatives, a pet can bring to the house their "allergens" on their wool. In addition, it matters and the size of your housing. If you live in a small apartment, the allergens will accumulate more concentrated, therefore, it is worth choosing a miniature dog. If you live in a large house with a plot, you can turn your gaze to the larger rocks.
Cleanliness is the guarantee of health
The researchers found that dogs that are often washed, cause less allergies than dogs that do not wash or wash occasionally. Bathing a dog once or twice a week minimizes or even excludes an allergic reaction to the animal. Also reduce the likelihood of allergic reactions frequent cleaning the house, because allergens released - saliva, urine and dandruff (peeling) from the skin settle on objects and on the floor. Of course, in the case of an allergy, you should not allow a pet to sleep in your bed or even go into your bedroom. As special precautions it is possible to forbid a dog to climb onto sofas and armchairs and lie on carpets or carpets, if they are in the house. It is not superfluous to put in the house an air cleaner with HEPA filters, which catch the smallest particles.
