Are Chesapeake Bay Retrievers hypoallergenic?
No, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are not hypoallergenic. No dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, though some breeds are less likely to trigger allergies than others. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever's dense, water-resistant coat sheds and produces dander, which can contribute to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Regular grooming can help manage shedding and dander, but if you have allergies, it’s a good idea to spend time with the breed before bringing one home for good.
