forgot lhasa apsos....

they do need major grooming or a good short cut (if u lvie on a farm for instance); tuff little dogs, not quite as 'toy' as shitzus, not quite as nice, a bit more independant, catlike, guard dogs... our foofoo lived and nursed with goats for his puppyhood, and both dont tolerate strangers gladly, and are not used to small children.
they are quite active, food incentives are a good thing, do not suffer negative actions, it can set u back in training quite a bit.
there fur is wool. the outer layer twines around the inner layer and becomes felt. so they dont shed, but do leave strands of wool or pieces of felt (they self groom using their teeth to undo mats, many times and can get hair balls) but they arent body licking dogs so the allergenic factor comes from if they walk through fields or underbrush or roll in anything like fresh compost, or whatever, and tehn carry it all inside.

they dont seem to have dander, and i shampoo ours with basic people shampoo and then rinse with white vinegar.

many people are allergic to the proteins in the saliva of dogs (my daughter cannot have a dog lick her as she gets hives from it), but it doesnt seem to cause the same asthmatic reaction that cat or rabbit enzyme saliva causes in humans... both my husband and i are terribly allergic to cats but teh lhasas dont seem to cause any reaction. my two boxers (rip) did create some allergies in my kids and husband.

I have an Italian Greyhound, which are commonly considered among hypoallergenic breeds.​

They shed very little, and don't require any grooming at all! SO convenient...clean, athletic, and adorable!​

​

​

true but! They are not the best. For allergies thanks though!

DON'T far for the "doodles are hypoallergenic" line.    I know 5 of them.  Only 1 doesn't shed like a lab or golden.     The rest need to be groomed but still blow clumps of coat like the non-poodle parent too.    There is no rhyme or reason to the dogs since they are just mutts.  

allergies aren't from the shedding and hypo dogs can shed allergies are from the skin of the dogs!

sorry but Lhasa apsos aren't hypoallergenic

cute how old?

um yes.

lhasas like many other small dogs with wool/hair, are less allegy causing then most other dogs... it is the dander that cause the allegic reaction or the saliva, (like with cats or rabbits) that also cause reactions... and their hair doesnt shed all over the place, plus, of course, most of these kind of dogs are showered off easily so even pollen and stuff gets washed off more frequently, which is exactly what we do with our two....

two out of my three kids are highly allegic (both asthmatic in one way or an other, and the youngest, at 19, still cannot be licked by any dog, and cannnot go near horses at all, even though she loves to ride.).... with the boxers, we had many more allergy issues; with the lhasas, almost none at all.

besides, allergies are very individual things; i met a woman recently who is deathly allergic to all cats but her own siamese cat; she is an immunologist herself and she spent quite a long time expaining the exact details of why that is so... she had to stop work on research with animals due to her allergies to mice/rats /rabbits as well.

my best friend ,a doctor, used to shower her cat together with her daughter, (convenient in the bath tub), just o keep the family's allergies to the cat , at a lower level. the shower washed the proteins fromthe cats' fur.for me however, it is torture. she has one bedroom taht is marked as 'cat free', for all of us allergic to cat people.

so also withj dogs its very individual. the hairless dogs might even cause more allergies with some poeple because of the skin excretions (sebum) that cause the dander...

Saliva makes me super itchy...if the dogs or cats lick me I break out in itchy spots...we have 2 cats and they don't bother my allergies but if I go somewhere where someone has a number of cats, or cats they don't clean up after my eyes swell shut

but they are not. Considered hypos look it up! I DON'T want to start a argument
