Are Kerries good for people with dog allergies?
Maybe. There is no such thing as a non-allergenic dog. But because Kerries are non-shedding they are sometimes recommended to people with allergies and they may actually be more tolerable than a shedding breed. However, allergic reactions are unique to each person. The sufferer should spend as much time as possible with Kerries in the dogs’ living quarters to determine if the breed is suitable before taking one home.
