Is the lhasa apso hypoallergenic

Answer 1

Lhasa Apso dogs have two coats. The inner, softer coat sheds twice a year. The outer, tough coat does not shed and must be groomed or trimmed to maintain. Lhasa Apsos shed and produce dander like virtually every dog breed; however, they are considered one of the breeds better suited for people with Allergies.

Answer 2

Dogs with single coat are usually the ones considered to have hair, opposed to the ones with double coat, with is referred to as fur.

While chemically the same as fur, hair's distinction is that it typically has a longer growth cycle to the coat, reducing shedding and dander. Contrary to popular belief, it's actually the dander that people are allergic to, not the dogs hair. The Lhasa Apso breed is one of the breeds considered to have "hair". Other dogs in this group are:

• Airedale
• Basenji
• Bearded Collie
• Bedlington Terrier
• Bergamasco
• Bichon Frise
• Bolognese
• Brussels Griffon
• Chinese Crested
• Coton de Tulear
• Dandie Dinmont Terrier
• Havanese
• Irish Water Spaniel
• Kerry Blue Terrier
• Lagotto Romagnolo
• Lowchen
• Maltese
• Peruvian Inca Orchid
• Polish Lowland Sheepdog
• Poodle
• Portugese Water Dog
• Puli
• Schnauzer
• Shih-Tzu
• Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier
• Tibetan Terrier
• Wirehaired Fox Terrier
• Yorkshire Terrier

While less shedding and a lower impact on allergies are important reasons for choosing a dog, be sure that the dog's personality and breed characteristics are taken into consideration when selecting a new member of the family.

Answer 3

Yes, the Lhasa Apso is considered hypoallergenic because they have hair, not fur, which reduces the amount of shedding and dander that can trigger allergies in people. However, no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, so individuals with severe allergies should spend time with a Lhasa Apso before bringing one home.
