Is the Schipperke a good pet for people allergic to dogs?

Unfortunately, no, Schipperkes are not a good choice for people with dog allergies.

While some people with allergies might be able to tolerate certain breeds with short coats, like the Schipperke, allergies are primarily triggered by proteins found in dog saliva and dander. These proteins are present in all dogs, regardless of their coat length or breed.

The Schipperke, with its dense double coat, actually tends to shed more than some other breeds, potentially making it even more difficult for someone with dog allergies to handle.

It's important to consult an allergist or a veterinarian specializing in allergies before acquiring any pet. They can help you identify potential triggers and guide you towards hypoallergenic breeds, if any, that might be a better fit for you.
