Hypoallergenic Breeds:
* Poodle (Standard): Poodles are known for their hypoallergenic coats. Standard poodles are large and can be quite active.
* Irish Water Spaniel: Another hypoallergenic breed, Irish Water Spaniels are large and require a lot of exercise.
Other Low-Shedding Large Breeds:
* Komondor: While Komondors have a thick, corded coat, it doesn't shed like traditional fur. They need regular grooming to keep their cords clean.
* Lagotto Romagnolo: These truffle-hunting dogs have a curly coat that sheds minimally. They are medium-sized, around 35-40 pounds.
* Portuguese Water Dog: These dogs have a water-repellent coat that sheds very little. They need regular grooming to prevent mats.
* Kerry Blue Terrier: This breed has a soft, curly coat that is considered hypoallergenic. They are medium-sized, around 35-45 pounds.
Important Considerations:
* Grooming: Even low-shedding dogs require regular grooming to prevent mats and tangles.
* Allergies: While these breeds are considered hypoallergenic, no dog is truly allergy-free. It's best to spend time with a dog before bringing it home to see how you react.
* Other factors: Consider your lifestyle and the dog's temperament when choosing a breed.
Remember, it's crucial to research a breed thoroughly before bringing a dog home.
