Does a Completely Hypoallergenic Dog Exist?

The article discusses the idea of hypoallergenic dogs and whether or not such a thing truly exists.
It states that while some individual dogs may elicit fewer allergy symptoms than others, studies suggest that there is no specific breed that is truly hypoallergenic.

The article references a study from the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy that found no major differences in the levels of the primary dog allergen, Canis familiaris (Can f 1), in homes with dogs labeled as hypoallergenic compared with those that weren’t, and another study that found Poodles had some of the highest levels of Can f 1 present in their coat samples, while Labradors Retrievers, often regarded as a breed more likely to trigger allergies because of their excessive shedding, had significantly lower allergen levels.
The article concludes that while no dog is 100% hypoallergenic, it’s possible to find less allergenic breeds depending on the person's specific allergies.
