Are German Shepherds hypoallergenic?

No, German Shepherds are not considered hypoallergenic. They are known to trigger allergies in some individuals who are sensitive to pet dander. Their double coat, consisting of a dense undercoat and a longer, coarser outer coat, can release allergenic proteins into the environment. 

Individual reactions to allergens can vary, so spending time with a German Shepherd before bringing one home can help assess any potential allergic reactions.
