Pets have emotions, attitudes and personalities just like humans. To care for an animal, it is helpful to observe the animal and learn how to distinguish between normal regular behaviour and behaviour that is unusual and out of balance.

Pets often reflect the emotions of the people close to them and the environment in which they live. Emotions such as fear or anxiety or worry or depression can lead to disease because they deplete the physical body of its natural vitality, thereby compromising the immune system's ability to function properly.

The American Kennel Club's list of dog breeds for people with allergies

plus 23 other breeds as well

Fortunately for all those dog-loving but allergic people out there, there are quite a few breeds that don't shed a lot and consequently spread less dander. Although the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not endorse or recommend any particular breed as being hypoallergenic, they have published a list of dog breeds that are commonly known for not shedding a lot.

If you are allergic to dogs and you'd like to give adoption a go, please peruse the AKC list and the 23 other hypoallergenic breeds listed separately below.

American Kennel Club List

Bedlington Terrier With the look of a lamb, this terrier is a wonderful companion. Most often seen with a blue hair coat, this breed sheds little, resulting in less dander and easier breathing for allergy sufferers.
	Bichon Frise The bichon is not only a great lapdog, but the curly-coated white breed produces little dander, making the dog a wonderful companion for people with allergies. To keep him looking great, the bichon needs periodic trips to the groomer.
Chinese Crested This breed is slowly gaining popularity. Not completely bald, the Chinese crested has some puffs of hair on the head and may have a very spotted skin. Despite his weird appearance, the Chinese crested is a great family pet.
	Irish Water Spaniel Even though he may look like the clown of the spaniel family, the Irish water spaniel is the tallest spaniel and a great water dog. The coat of the Irish water spaniel is his most distinguishing characteristic.
Kerry Blue Terrier The hair coat of the Kerry blue is silky soft and dense. The coat can be curly or wavy but should not be wiry or harsh. The Kerry blue require frequent grooming.
	Maltese As the name suggests, the Maltese originated on the island of Malta, in the Mediterranean. This diminutive breed looks fragile but is quite resilient. It sheds very little, and only produces small amounts of dander, but its long flowing white coat needs daily care.
Poodle The standard, miniature and toy poodle breeds make excellent pets. These beautiful dogs crave human company and for the allergy sufferer, produce very little dander. The breed does require attentive grooming to keep his coat in tip-top shape.
	Portuguese Water Dog Bred to help the fishermen of Portugal, this breed is as happy on land as he is in the water. Another dog that produces little dander and doesn't shed much, the Portuguese water dog is a faithful and active companion.
Schnauzer- Miniature, Standard and Giant The most common coat color is salt and pepper but black is also available. In order to keep their coat clean and tangle free, frequent grooming and clipping is necessary.
	Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier A medium sized terrier, the Wheaten seems to love life and human companionship. The color is any shade of wheaten. The soft coated wheaten has a soft wavy hair coat in any shade of wheaten.
Xoloitzcuintli or Mexican Hairless Toy, Miniature and Standard The hairless Xolo should never be hairy, or possess long hair, wire hair or wavy hair. It’s skin should be soft and smooth, yet hardy to the elements. Colors, from black to slate, gray, bronze, brindle, red, fawn, solid or spotted.
