Are Portuguese Water Dogs hypoallergenic?

Yes, Portuguese Water Dogs are considered hypoallergenic. Their single-layer, curly coat doesn’t shed, leading to less dander and fewer allergens in the air. No dog breed, however, is completely hypoallergenic, as all dogs produce some level of dander and saliva that can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. Spend time around a Portuguese Water Dog before bringing one into your home to see how you or your family members react to their dander. Regular grooming and bathing can also help minimize allergens in the home.
