Well, i understand some people may be allergic to anything, everything, somethings, it is like that with foods, perfumes, fabrics and pretty much anything in life.
To be honest with you, i believe when someone is looking for a hypoallergenic breed or advertising one dog or breed as hypoallergenic, the aim is not to get more money, but to describe the breed or the dog. Some breeds cause more allergies to more people than others. I have heard of people who are allergic to saliva, therefore any animal , including humans, can cause them allergies.
I personally have nothing against the word. Our Shihtzus have an under coat and my husband is not allergic to them either. We have discussed this with our family doctor several times, they happen to own one of our dogs, and often we bring the subject into our conversation, she also uses the word and when people who have allergies are looking for a dog she recommends them to check the breeds that are called "hypoallergenic s". I believe for some , there will never be a totally hypoallergenic dog or breed no matter what, but for a great number of people who suffer from pet allergies and are not bothered by hypoallergenic breeds the word stand just fine. As with anything in life, the point of view may change the perception of the object.
I usually do not see just any dog labelled hypoallergenic, just the breeds that cause less reaction to most people who are allergic.
