It would be more accurate to say there is no such thing as a 100% hypoallergenic dog. But it is well known that different dogs trigger the allergy more intensely than others, so if you get a dog that is considered “hypoallergenic” to use the common vernacular, you are less likely to have many if any symptoms. This largely depends on the individual’s allergies. I could’ve been more precise with my language I suppose.

  Read the article I posted, this is "well known," but it's also, simply, a lie. No such dog breed exists. Your language is not imprecise, you are just spreading outright lies. >In fact, there may be no such thing as a low-allergy or allergy-free dog, according to a new report. The study found that the quantities of dog allergens in homes with supposedly hypoallergenic breeds are no different from those in homes with dogs widely considered non-hypoallergenic. >Previous studies have examined dog skin and hair to determine the amount of allergens they contain, and have found wide variations among individual animals, but no consistent differences by breed. >“I have no idea where this whole concept came from,” said Christine Cole Johnson, the senior author of the study, to be published online in The American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy. “It’s been around for a long time, and maybe people associated it with shedding. I think it’s just a legend.”

    Look man, if you want to have a conversation about this I am down, but you need to stop saying that I am lying. I am happy to accept that I could be wrong about this, but that is not the same as lying. Just ease off the gas a little here.

      You're repeating a lie made up by breeders to sell dogs. Whether or not you're aware it is a lie doesn't make it not a lie.

        Accusing someone of lying is accusing them of deliberately intending to deceive
