Q: Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds

President-elect Barack Obama has promised that his family's White House dog will be hypoallergenic, because his 10-year-old daughter, Malia, has allergies. Here's a short list of breeds that could be soon sniffing around Barney's former territory.

Actually, there are no hypoallergenic dogs. What people are allergic to is the dander, not the fur, so even a scarcely shedding dog or a completely hairless one will save you from allergies. Dander is from the skin and every dog will shed old skin cells. One way to cut back on the dander is to bathe your dog regularly, though bathing a dog more than once every few weeks will result in skin problems as you are washing away their essential oils.
