Are Halden Hounds hypoallergenic?

No, Halden Hounds are not hypoallergenic. Like most dogs, they consistently shed and produce dander, which can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. If you suffer from pet allergies and are considering adopting a Halden Hound, it’s important to spend some time with this breed first to assess how you’ll react before committing to an adoption. 

To reduce the spread of pet allergens in the home, it’s helpful to keep a weekly grooming routine. Brushing them can minimize loose fur and dander. Occasional baths, using a gentle dog shampoo, can also help remove allergens from their coat. 

Additionally, cleaning your home frequently, especially vacuuming carpets and furniture, will help manage the spread of pet hair and dander. Washing your dog’s bedding and wiping down surfaces they frequent can also keep allergens at bay. Using an air purifier with a HEPA filter can further improve air quality, reducing allergen levels indoors.
