I debunk this entire "study" with my own personal experiences.
I specifically got hypoallergenic breeds:dander-less and non-shedding dogs.
My dogs do have some dander all dogs do: mine have significantly less than other breeders.
My dogs do loose hair they do not shed fur like most breeders.
My
Yorkie has hair my
miniature schnauzer a double coat.
I sneeze and get itchy eyes around many dog breeds.
I am NOT allergic to dogs I have allergies.
I have no reaction to my dog unless they have run into a lot of pollen and mold outside.
My previously non-hypoallergenic dogs
kay BF's pit, whippet/Rhodesian Ridgebaack cross, and a wolf hybrid all irritated my and my children's allergies. These dogs were in my house bathed with the same shampoos and as often as my dogs exposed to the same environment same food...I vote my study was far more controlled and comprehensive than the one posted here. I may have a variable of psychosomatic reaction my children are incapable of such a reaction thus their symptoms were genuine.
There is a debate among people breeding specifically for hypoallergenic dogs (especially in the NAID community) that as with any train some carry a strong show of the trait will other would be culled from the gene pool because they lack it...
Also someone should clearly define hypoallergenic as a lessened allergen content or causing less allergic reaction not allergen free.
