Are Chihuahuas good for people with allergies?

Some people claim that Chihuahuas are the only breed of dog that don't affect their allergies. But no scientific evidence exists proving this. Usually people with allergies are allergic to the dander (dry skin flakes) and hair which falls of a dog. Chihuahuas are medium shedders, so if you an allergic reaction to these allergens then you might be better off with a very low shedding breed, such as a toy poodle. If you have your heart set on a Chihuahua, but you have allergies, then the best thing to do is to spend some time around Chihuahuas before buying one. Chihuahua breeders will be all to happy to let you spend some time with their litter and the mother so you can tell whether they give you an allergic reaction.  more
